My search for apparel on the site brings me to a post from 2007. Has anything changed or does anyone know of place to buy some C-dory branded hat/tees/jacket?
thanks

Paul,

I researched the same thing a few months back before the Poulsbo gathering. It turns out the apparel showing on the old website is from the former owners and no longer available. I was able to get in touch with Mark Wright at the factory. In summary, the factory lost any apparel they had on site to the factory fire and haven't produced anything since. When I asked him what is the protocol if a C-Brat wanted to produce C-Dory logo wear, here was his response:

"Our current factory is producing C-Dory boats but since our fire in September and subsequent move, we lost almost all of our on site C Dory merchandise. We can sell boat decals as we get those made for the boats we produce but we do not produce C Dory Swag. I think as long as the merchandise you create is authentic with the C Dory logo intact, we would be open to you spearheading the effort! Could you let us know what you come up with??

Thanks a lot
Mark Wright
Vice President
Northwest Marine Industries"

So it looks like there will be no apparel coming from the factory but they are open to others spearheading the effort. Someone like Seawolf Joe can correct me if I'm incorrect but I believe the logo wear can be produced with no direct profits to the producer. Maybe someone would like to step up?
 
I'm not sure I understand about the factory and the clothing no longer being available. I've bought quite a few things from the store that is still linked on the C-Dory website:

It's a separate company (Bergen & Co), so I don't see how a factory fire would affect them.

Anyhow, they have the C-Dory embroidered logo and have done decent work. I own a bunch of t-shirts, some personalized, and a few hats. Last year, my wife ordered me a few C-Dory t-shirts with the embroidered C-Dory logo and called them up to see if they'd be willing to make the boat color green to match my boat. No problem.

I just called them (Bergen & Co) and she said they definitely can still do C-Dory branded merchandise (shirts, hats, etc).
 
We have also used Bergen & Company and been very happy. They were very good to work with and have the C-Dory embroidery template ready to use. Just pick your item and color of threads and they will do the rest. They were most helpful by phone too, helping me focus on what we wanted. For whatever reason the C-Dory website is seriously out of date in this regard.

I ordered a couple of jackets and some shirts and was thrilled with the quality....I think Bergman & Co does a super job... I know I am sure pleased and would not hesitate to purchase more from them.... Great folks.

Outstanding. They should sponsor a link to our site, I'm sure I am not the only one to want to wear our brand proudly.
Thanks for the informative reply.

There will be five - count 'em - five original new C-Dory hats given away as prizes at the Bellingham CBGT August 21 - 23 at Squalicum Harbor! These are hats we collected over the years and put away. They are not for sale, but you could win them if you come to the Bellingham CBGT!
 
OOhhh, yeah on that one. What we need is the C-dory logo .eps file, then there's lots that can be done. Wonder how we can access one? Anybody, ideas?
