New month, New Items, Free shipping till Xmas

Hello and Happy Holidays from Gothic Punk Specialty Hardware,

Another month has gone by, and Im always surprised at how many new items we've added to the catalog. It seems like the more we add, the more the list of items we need to add grows. Its like every project completed leaves 3 ideas for new projects.
This month we've added goggles, cuffs, spikes, belts, and also a free shipping promotion. It started as a one day promotion, but we've decided to continue it through Christmas. So, there it is Free Shipping worldwide from now until Christmas. In order to get your order by Christmas, you need to order by the 17th in the USA, and by the 6th internationally. You can order later and still get it by xmas if you want to pay the priority shipping, but that does get pretty steep, especially internationally. Its not too bad domestically - $20 or so for USPS Express 1 day. am I rambling?
Ok, so here's where I list the new products.
At the time of the last post we had added the 2.5" Industrial Cuff 2 with slots in black and silver. We added a black rub-off version of that, and also added a version with a grid of holes. The one with holes also comes in silver, black and black rub off. Heres a picture of the black rub off version



We've applied that same style to the 1.25" cuffs as well, and so they now come in versions with slots and holes, also in silver, black, and black rub off. Here are a couple pictures of those:





We've added a new version of the 1.25" cuff that is made from larger pipe, and is more of a standard round shape rather than the pill shape of the other cuff. I would like to add some type of feature to it and really make it one of our core products. Im still trying to decide what to add to it- a d-ring of some sort; a cut out; some type of nut and bolt stuck on it... I dont know yet. Anyhow this is how it looks at the moment:



If you follow the link, you'll notice that they are also available in different colors like red and blue.

In an effort to reduce the cost of our belts, we have made our Pointed D rings out of Aluminum in addition to Stainless Steel. The Stainless ones are much heavier and more rugged of course, but also more expensive. And especially when you sell wholesale, and the retailer has to double the price, every dollar counts.

I actually dont have those D Rings up on the main site at the time of posting this, so Im going to link to them at the Etsy store. Here is a picture of the black ones though:




Boy, that's a giant freaking photo....

Its going to be too large photo time for a little while because the next several items are also only up on the etsy site, and those are the photos Im linking in....

Maybe I wont put up pictures of all of the new belts we've added since the photos are giant. Basically we added a gothic belt in Black with the aluminum D's, and one in silver with the Aluminum D's. We also added a 5 D ring Belt in black with the aluminum D's, and that one I will put up a picture of:



Let us now turn to the subject of Gothic Cyber Industrial Goggles shall we? At last post, we had added a pair of our new style with slots. We have since added a pair with holes, and also a pair with Slits. Slits are distinct from slots in that there are only one of them on each eye, going horizontally. They are kind of like the eskimo goggles that have been made for thousands of years to fend of snow blindness; and kind of like classic 1950's robot eyes; and kind of like killer machine age cyber industrial goggles cut from solid Aluminum- take your pick.
Anyhow, we have also given the goggles a leather lining around the back to make them a little bit more comfortable of a fit against the face. Those also are only up at the etsy store at the moment, but should be on the regular site within a week or so.





Those come in silver and black of course.

The ones with Slots will have lining on them soon, and original ones, without the screw-on ring cover will probably be dropped from the catalog before too long in favor of the new kind.

We actually added 3" cone spikes to the catalog at a customer request- so those are available:


Dont forget that we have gift cards on the website.

And that does it for this post. Thanks for all of the ideas and requests we get from customers keep them coming. Also please get in touch if you are interested in buying wholesale. You can start a new account with a small initial purchase to try our products out in your store.

Thanks as always for your interest in Gothic Punk Specialty Hardware - Ben C - Owner/designer
