xgrantx Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 So, I don't know how many of you guys are into the lapel pin thing going on, but there are some really cool ones being made. We used one of our designs to do one too. These are die cut, 2 military clutch backs, high and recessed silver metal and 3 enamel colors, custom packaging, limited/numbered of 50. These are up for preorder now and should be coming to us in a week, maybe two. They are $6.50 shipping included during the preorder (this is basically cost plus shipping-they are pricey to make) and they will increase once in hand. The packaging on two of the 50 will be marked. The two marked pins will win a goodie box from the label including vinyl, tapes, stickers, cds. These are kind of commemorative of our 5 years as a label (coming up on 6) and a fun giveaway. Thanks for all the support and love you guys have given over the years. You can pick it up here: http://bittermelodyrecords.limitedrun.com/products/557863-bitter-melody-records-lapel-pin-limited-to-50-win-free-records-custom-die-cut-metal-and-soft-enamel-pin This is just a mock up below. Finished pins will look very nice. I'll post pictures when they get here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xgrantx Posted August 25, 2015 Author Share Posted August 25, 2015 Thank you, dude. The finished pins will be much more impressive with the metal inlay and 3D features. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monsterrod Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 Ordered one as well. I love the label and I'm happy to have this killer pin! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cambionic Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 I've been really getting into collecting enamel pins recently, so I immediately grabbed this up. From a label I dig, nonetheless! I also picked up that Vegan Jerky because it intrigued me... xgrantx 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aflycon Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 Good-looking pin! I picked up one of those, Indecision's Unorthodox and a shirt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xgrantx Posted August 30, 2015 Author Share Posted August 30, 2015 Thanks for the orders guys! The pins are moving quickly. There are people doing some amazing pins. I wish they weren't quite so pricey but they look so nice. I've been following several pin and patch instagrams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cambionic Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 A few I follow to get turned on to new pins/patches are: @patchgame @gonlinkomegamall @rockinstickers @pinoftheday @pin_lord Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xgrantx Posted August 31, 2015 Author Share Posted August 31, 2015 I follow several of those too. It could be an equally expensive hobby as records. I am real tempted to pick up that vegetable can / wet hot american summer one I saw today on patchgame Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhulud Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 Hey Grant, not related to the pin, but whatever's happened with Milky White? They seem to have dropped off the face of teh earth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xgrantx Posted August 31, 2015 Author Share Posted August 31, 2015 They pretty much did. I had such high hopes for them. They were super solid. It looks like the 7" will be it for the time being. Ben has moved to NC. Dylan recorded a cool solo project last year called These Simple Things. Reminds me of Alk3. http://thesesimplethings.bandcamp.com/releases Sonny is in Drench: https://drenchband.bandcamp.com/releases Jules is singing in Lightness: http://lightnesssc.bandcamp.com/releases I haven't forgotten about the test press either, I've been in the process of moving and uncovering stuff I haven't seen in forever.

xgrantx Posted September 1, 2015 Author Share Posted September 1, 2015 The rest of the current orders are going out today. Lots of vegan jerky and pins going out. I'm almost out of the vegan jerky. I hope people keep buying it so I can keep it in stock. Thanks to those of you taking advantage of the t-shirt sale too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xgrantx Posted September 2, 2015 Author Share Posted September 2, 2015 The pins are about half gone. Thanks for the support and thanks to those who have picked up a shirt too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brianmorgante Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 Where did the pin craze come from? That one seemed to sneak up on me overnight. Looks so good! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xgrantx Posted September 3, 2015 Author Share Posted September 3, 2015 Yeah, I dunno. It's been brewing for a while. I just got into them recently. A lot of cool embroidered patch stuff happening too. They look amazing but they are pricey. I'm not making anything off these pins at all, I just wanted to make them.

monsterrod Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 I got this in today. Looks incredible, thank you. xgrantx 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xgrantx Posted September 3, 2015 Author Share Posted September 3, 2015 Thank you! We've got about 20 left. I'm glad people were into these too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xgrantx Posted September 4, 2015 Author Share Posted September 4, 2015 I like seeing how they make things like this. It makes the price make a little more sense too. I found this to show the process: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
