    well i called 5 different dealers and they all say the same thing.

    cannot be bought. hats are not on their inventory. they are not on backorder because there is no part number to order them.

    obviously the few hats that have been spotted were part of a Toyota Promotion.

    sooo, anybody else got any ideas?

    We'll be coming out with some other designs soon, as well, for the hats. That first one I did was just a preliminary one, so you can cancel your order if you want and wait for some other designs.

    Unless you think that design is the one you'd way anyway :)

    Prius: Driving the Future of Technology Today.

    i will keep the hat i ordered. IM me when you have new ones to look at.

    Strange, I see your order, but I can't do any tracking of it through the CafePress system.

    You might want to try giving them a call 877-809-1659.

    ok my hat arrived today, May 1st.

    i was right, after having a chance to visit with my new hat, he related to me that if it hadnt been for the mountains in Southern Oregon, they would have made it to me a full day earlier.

    Good to hear, Dave. I'd love to get your input on the quality and look of the hat.

    I think the hat itself is very good. it has the velcro adjuster band instead of the holes which enables a perfect fit.

    The logo print could be brighter. The color scheme doesnt have much contrast as we have Silvery gray lettering on a white background. it is outlined in dark blue to set it off but the keychain (snergy) and Toyota "T" symbol could have been made to stand out better i think.

    its definitely not something that is easily read from across the room.
