Here are some pictures of my GSCE #638. Picked it up yesterday (11/25/2017)
After driving almost 250 miles from MacMulkin back to New York City. Before washing!
Still before washing!
In the wash bay after lots of washing and detailing!

This is the actual stitch out sample and a couple shots of it on laid on some garments. I’m thinking it is a touch too big but still talking with them about how to shrink it without degrading the Collector Edition wording because it gets too small. More later tonite probably.

Just for comparison, here is what it looks like at 4" I had a polo, long sleeve and jacket done this week. I think my logo could be just a little larger in the print size for the Grand Sport lines, but was hard to keep it proportioned correctly.

Embroidery pricing quotes....this is not for what Banph posted, I don't think he is looking to do orders with his design (and I can say I'll probably do this once as I anticipate a bit of work doing this!). Banph's version is 4" long, the one I'm working on is 4.5", so slightly longer.
I went by the shop today and I pulled out a variety of garments to get them to quote on them. Most of the stuff I picked was Port Authority brand, which I'm guessing many know, it is a common brand used by a lot of embroidery shops. I also picked a couple of brands like Eddie Bauer and Nike, but they are going to be a little more expensive.
I stuck with things that were available in a darker gray color and I thought looked nice. Many of the items have similar women's style and there are others that I did not get samples of that were only women's, please look through the online catalog.
Please keep in mind these are just examples, you can get about anything you want, they do have an online catalog that you can browse through (https://www.companycasuals.com/ClickSundance/start.jsp), if you put in the item number in the quote in the search field, you can see pictures of the garments I selected.
The prices include the embroidery cost. It does not include shipping (which I will probably do myself to save costs, flat rate USPS) and I will also spread out the $70 setup charge across the orders.
These prices are also based on a small order quantity, 12 items. The next price break is at 24 items, then 48. So depending on how many things we get done, the price could go down a little.
Please take a look at the quote, hopefully they seem reasonable to you. If you're interested in any of these items, or other items you see in their catalog (they have bags and all kinds of stuff), please let me know (PM me with contact information along with order requests). I'd like to get the order pulled together no later then the 8th.
Once I get all of the requests in (please give me product numbers) I'll be reaching out to folks directly if we're not already talking that way. It would be best to just do this with PayPal up front payments I think, I'll have to do a deposit but they should have it turned around in 2 weeks they said, so easier just to collect it all I think. Open to suggestions.
I'll post the revised 4.5" sample probably tomorrow, they said they would turn around quickly.

This is the new virtual proof of the embroidery.
In this version they did the COLLECTOR EDITION in silver, instead of blue. Remember, you can have your pick of which color you want it done on your garments.
This version is 4.5" long, I'm thinking I'm going to go with it this way.
Please contact me with your orders via PM. I think I contacted most that were interested directly via PM. If you have not heard from me, please PM me directly with what you'd like so I can work up the final quote.

That's going to be a personal choice. I have them and love them, I like how they hold me in. But body style can have a bit to do with it as well.
They do have seat conversions so it's not impossible to change after the fact, just may cost a few bucks depending on if you can do it yourself or not.
Go sit in both and decide for yourself, if you haven't already sat in them.
Since you're looking for a vert, if you want a rare CE, get a Z07 packaged vert with a M7. Only 6 were made, two are left for sale. One in California and one in Wisconsin of all places, #27 so it's a low number too. A vert in Wisconsin is a tough sell, especially this time of year...you can probably work them pretty good. It's listed at $78,197 right now, which is $18,500 off MSRP, so I'm guessing they would go lower...
It has comp seats and a $1200 car cover. The car cover and other RPO items like that have a bit of padding for the dealer...
