I'm too old for that. Possibility of a pre-order? Willing to pay in advance.
This.
Im going to mess around and strike out again
As much as I'd like to give you that security, a pre-order window would delay the product. We'd have to collect all the pre-orders, THEN place the actual order. It also creates additional complexity for the Cap City team, and bear in mind this is something that's being done to raise money for charity. I don't expect them to make money off of this. Given that, we're trying to be considerate of their staff time and resources.
What we can do, to try and make sure everyone who REALLY wants one will get one, is order more than last time and use this opportunity to ensure that our order quantities reflect your size requests. Last time, for example, people on the extreme ends of the spectrum found that their sizes were among the first to sell out. We want everyone to have a good chance this time.
