Heritage Clothing?

[Artpulis]

Anyone know a source for Heritage Guitar clothing, shirts, jackets, hats?

 

I searched all over the Internet and can't find anything with the exception of one maker of t-shirts. I once saw a jacket with a Heritage logo which I would love to have, but can't find one currently for sale. With the loyalty of the Heritage owners, I would think someone could make a deal to license the logo and make some money with clothing. I admit, as a new owner, I'm ready to carry the banner, but at 73 not willing to start a new business.

Many years back, Lane Zastrow did marketing for Heritage and they had a selection of items, hats, jackets, shirts, picks, straps, etc. Those were blown out quite a few years ago but occasionally someone will put something up for sale.

 

Heritage now has some shirts at the factory, but I don't know that they are actively selling them. Maybe just for visitors to the factory? Of course, there are also the highly coveted (and rarely available) PSP shirts and hats from events past.

 

I think that Heritage items may become more available in the future though. The new owners are looking to increase the marketing side quite a bit.

Yes, that's the one I did see, but was really looking for a jacket.

Obviously not a Heritage Guitar from Kzoo. I'd have to say these are not licensed or endorsed by Heritage Guitar Inc. and pretty pricey for a bootleg t-shirt also...

Wow, I didn't notice that was a Prestige guitar!!! Buyer Beware!!!

You can purchase genuine "Heritage Owners Club" coffee mugs in the 2015 and 2016 design. There is a thread on this site that has info.

The factory has limited items for sale, but mostly you'll have to find something used or create your own.

Several years ago I attempted to purchase an H150 from a Heritage dealer by clicking on the 'buy' icon. I also called and left a detailed message about my attempted purchase, but never got a call back.

After a few days of not hearing from them, I called and was transferred to the store owner. He informed me that the guitar was sold prior to my attempt to buy, but they forgot to pull it off the internet. He was so embarrassed, he asked if I wanted a FREE Heritage shirt. Well YEA!! He sent me a beautiful beige long sleeve dress shirt with the Heritage Guitar logo!! True story.

Yeah, when Lane closed out his stock.. I ordered some , but most was backordered and I had them send some different sizes. But I ended up selling the denim shirt here, as it was a bit too small for me.

 

I'm willing to bet that when the new , restored 225 Parsons Street opens ( a year and a half? ) this issue will be solved. I fully expect them to have items available at the New Heritage and online too. But this is just my expectation.

 

( Nice deal on the beige shirt , Gitfiddler )

That might be the one in my closet.

1. I don't like the head stock.

I know the folks are working on this as Cheryl Leach stopped in a couple of weeks back & gave us all nice Tee's.

Most generous. I do not know how to purchase them at this time. Art- a beautiful Wolfe Guitars shirt is in the package with your gorgeous new H575 Custom. Thanks so much.

Thanks Jay, and I can't wait until Monday!!!! You have been great to deal with! When/if I ever get to south Florida, I'll stop in for sure.

Being I picked up as many Heritage guitars as I did this year I stole the new logo off Yahoo Images and had Corporate Casuals make me long sleeve polo shirts, short sleeve polo shirts and a 1/4 zipper sweat shirt. You submit the logo on their website, pick the items and sizes you need and in about 2 days they contact you to confirm the logo after they have digitized it - for your approval. I have used them twice in the past: to recreate the California Culinary Academy logo and the logo of my uncle's business, NewlyWeds Foods. Each time they did an amazing job. Being I am a 3XL even if some company has shirts or whatever usually they are too small for me. I am really quite pleased with what Corporate Casuals does. Here's the logo they used. I think this is the "new one". The cost of the digitizing of the logo and the items themselves may seem too high for many but the finished product is really high quality.

Thanks Big. I don't know why I didn't figure that with this digital age. I got a couple of things, but I will go that route for anything else. Thanks for the logo.

That looks to be what I used in 2013 , when we made a sign for the plant (and maybe for the ball caps too). I think I changed the font of the "of Kalamazoo" at the bottom of an older logo to make it come out clearer. So that would be the older font , but it's probably what is still on the headstock of what they are producing now. At last PSP, the sign was still being used just as you walk in.

 

The new logo ( not much different ) ...

[BigMike]

​This is the logo on many of my cases and I almost used it. But I like the idea of it explaining to those not knowledgable that it is Heritage Guitar of Kalamazoo...

I'll PM a copy...
