Right, Ladies and Gentlemen, I've done everything I can to bring the weight of these tags down.
They are half as thick as they were and slightly smaller all over.
I figured I could get a stamp made and knock these fuckers out cheap.
Yeah, right, thought the stamp would be about ?100, fat chance, try several hundred.
I'd still have to buy the metal and unless everybody wanted 20-40 pairs it's just not gonna make any sense getting a stamp made.
So they've gotta be cast.
In Silver they will be around ?10 each and Aluminium about ?4.50 each not for a pair.
I have to pay a casting charge on top of the material costs and set up.
The whole thing has cost me well over ?100 allready but then I'm learning shit so I don't mind too much.
At these prices I don't know how many people are gonna be interested and how many they will want so until I've got numbers I won't get them made.
Here is the finished tag which measures 5.5cms by 1.6cms.
Enjoy !!

I'll get one on a shoe but it won't be properly shaped as I don't want to bend the sample.
