There are a few things I'd love to see and that would be "must have" items for me.

Topping the list would be an M1941 "Jeep cap" style cap, as they're what I wear most often in cold weather. Simple :spyder: logo on the front would be fine, as would an overall :spyder: pattern.

Next would be a Spyderco Hawaiian shirt, along the lines of the one Springfield Armory just released with a variety of Spyderco knives replacing the guns and Spyderbug shaped pineapple slices replacing the pineapple grenades.

T-shirts featuring some of the older catalog cover art would be great too. As Cliff noted, the 2000 cover would be a great choice, as would the 2003 cover art. A re-run of the 1998 cover art, perhaps in a shirt color other than white, would be another excellent choice. The artwork from a few of the more recent covers would also be excellent candidates or, for a really retro look, the 1986 cover art.

Finally, mugs featuring the same artwork as the t-shirts would be another "must have" for me.

I'd like a stretch fitted billed cap (think MagPul or UA) with a velcro area so we can change our Spyderco Patches. Please make at least one for hot weather and skip the trucker hats.

A long, long time ago I made a suggestion and it had mixed reactions. I said at that time it would be cool for Spyderco and Oakley ( sunglass company) to do a product collaboration. Two classy companies that both focus on quality.

Another item that crossed my mind>> the recent fad of these high quality men's belts that are sort of high tech in the clothing line>> it would be cool if Spyderco made a belt with Spydie on the buckle of course.

And with this summer as hot as it's been it would be nice to have an official Spyderco headband. Great suggestions thus far>> keep them coming please ;)

Spyderco actually once did make a belt buckle. Fellow forum member, The Deacon, has a photo of it on his website. http://paulberetta.com/spydercobilia.htm

I don't usually wear belts that would accommodate one but I would still welcome a new Spyderco belt buckle. I would come up with a reason to use it.

I don't know that I would pick up a western style buckle, but if Spyderco made a "tactical" belt (ex. Wilderness Tactical) I would be on board.
So it goes.

i came to say i agree. if people are putting spyderco on their bodies in ink, it's because they lack good options in clothing. ;)

but, i also learned about the firebyrd from this thread and now i need one. spyderco, please bring this back!!! even better, make it to fit a mini bic instead and put a dragonfly or ladybug hawkbill blade in it!

I'm one of the few my age who probably still collects belt buckles. I got a few from a buddy of mine who worked in the coal mines for many years (most given to him by sales/services reps, and a couple were safety awards), then I learned when fire apparatus manufacturer American LaFrance was located here, they produced three, and then other (usually mine related) buckles were either bought cheap or given to me. I hope they do one in titanium. Pewter is stupid heavy, and brass is a little flimsy.

I appreciate that, thanks! I was considering doing a top 5 but my sig looked like it was getting a bit crowded, so I stuck with my top 3. :cool:

I discovered a few models and variations I didn’t know of while looking over the catalog art, including that firebyrd I posted.
I legitimately think the artwork it’s showcased with makes me like it more!

Would love to see more pins in regular production. Pins are my other unhealthy addiction. But unfortunately all I’ve got is the little bug one and one of the hand made Respect ones, which is on the verge of breaking unfortunately.

Note, completely forgot “Country Knives” exists, just ordered all of the pins they have from their backlog. I have a euroedge, a siren, a clipitool, and a new respect on the way :)

Well with this recent climbing popularity of these premium new style of men's belts I do believe that the timing would be perfect for Spyderco to not only do another buckle but to come up with some type of really nice belt themselves. They could have one of the upper tier clothing companies collaborate with them.

Once more people know the Spyderco Logo ( Spydie) the product recognition would grow as well. I usually only wear a belt with cargo shorts and on some work trousers. These newer flexible and stretchable belts are so much better than the old school leather belts that were around for years.

I would love a Spyderco belt buckle made with Titanium.
