Shipping change
I’m about out of shipping containers, and pricing out my next batch, I realized that I can get white boxes in the same size for a slight increase in cost. It’s fairly negligible, but if everybody’s happy with the brown, there’s not a lot of point in taking on any extra cost. I will point out that Jayne’s original box was white, although my box doesn’t have the same dimensions. That’s because a) the foldy boxes are expensive enough that I’d have to raise prices, and b) shallow enough that I worry people would accidentally slice their hats opening the box.
Here’s an old pic of a brown box. The white box would be exactly the same size and dimension. I think the stamps would really pop on the white. I’m curious as to what people think.
my “doesn’t matter” –
I think they’d look cool, but probably not cool enough to be worth more than a few bucks on a big batch of boxes. If that’s all the difference is, it might be fun because the stamps would look awesome.
I say go with white as the stamps would POP more and if you’re going for authenicity. I still have my Jayne box (brown) which I use to keep my hat during the warmer months here in Alaska. It’s getting colder now and I’m hoping by October 1st, it’s cold enough to wear my hat without overheating! WOOHOOO!!!!!
I priced them out when I was just starting to buy in bulk because I didn’t know if enough people would buy to make it worthwhile. Turns out there are more Browncoats out there than I originally thought. Heh.
I love you for worrying about it being authentic enough. Either thing you choose will be awesome, because you care that much.
Brown boxes for Browncoats. Plus brown looks more in keeping for a homemade Jayne hat.

Don’t forget that the white boxes might not be white by the time they get where they are going. Brown travels better.
