Quest for Shirt...part:??
I´ve got a question(s) according the Indy-Shirt: who makes the best one(Wested?),are they accurate compared to the original, which one is aka "80´s fit" shirt. The main thing is that I´m looking for a shirt that isn´t too baggy and for my taste has some length in the sleeves...What I´ve looked Wested has the "S,M,L,XL,XXL "sizes and good price. But does Peter make alterations if asked like slim it down a bit and so on!
Shirt owners among us fans tell your insights on the subject, so I can make some conclusions.

i have the NH and love it but it is a bit pricey. I think Marc is workin on doin an AB version of the NH shirt witch wich will basicly be identical in every way except the price. If you can talk him into hookin you up with one of those you will have the best of both worlds. As far as the other options out there i have not really looked into them.

If you are concerned about fit, order one from Magnoli as it will be custom fit to your measurements. Magnoli also offers several color choices as well, although the stone color is the most SA.

I have a Wested and a NH. The NH is much better but nearly twice the price. The Wested material is thicker than the NH but no where near as thick as the WPG shirt. The collar and cuffs of the Wested go all lumpy if you wash it at anything over 30 degrees- something to do with the glue used I think. Not good and not something I've seen on anything but the cheapest shirts. Two of my Wested buttons came off sceond time I wore it. So quality is not great IMHO. Having said that, aside from the NH it's the best Indy shirt out there (until Marc releases his). The fit is fairly slim unlike the horrible WPG 'sack'.

Todds shirt is the WPG shirt last time I looked. It's not screen accurate - very heavy material and the fit is HUGE. I'm a a 46 with big shoulders but for a WPG to fit you'd need to have a massive gut on you. Really, they are like tents.... The Wested shirt isn't white- its a yellowy- beige colour. Close, but not as good as the NH colour wise.

Well that's good to know, I'll plan on looking into the NH's then seem to be the best. Thanksdjd wrote:Todds shirt is the WPG shirt last time I looked.

The AB shirt is still going through some tuning and the preorders are being taken if I'm not mistaken. The Wested shirt is also nice but lacking in some details, the Magnoli's best argument is that it's custom tailored to your own specs.MARQ wrote:V.P. HYVÄ !! KERRO LISÄÄ "UPDATES"
NH's are über accurate but bloody expensive, the AB shirt intends to offer the same product for less money.
(MARQ said "V.P. GOOD !! PLEASE TELL MORE")
marq, here is a link to some photos of my wested small..... i had it taken in at the back coz i felt the mid section still made me look fat... enjoy. you probably can slim the shirt down without the seem marks in the back like myne though

I wish I had a NH shirt as well...
A bit off topic, but has anybody bought a NH shirt recently? I emailed him asking about getting one with dark buttons on it back at the end of August, and he said he would have some in a few weeks, and would let me know. In the middle of September, I emailed back to ask if he had any in stock, as I thought maybe he had lost my information, and he replied that he would get in touch when they were ready... It's already been almost two months now, so I'm just wondering if anyone knows if he has any in stock? I'd email him again, but I don't want to come off as being too incessant.

Yeah, I bought one about a month ago. Mind you, it's the pale Raiders buttons, so I'm not sure if their availability is different. He told me that the shirt was out of stock, too. A week after I asked he emailed me letting me know that they were in stock, and I recieved them about a week later. Again, I'm still not sure what the availability is on the dark buttons, but I hope this helps. The shirt is totally worth the wait, though...

I just bought a dark buttoned NH shirt from another member who bought a L but found out he needed an XXL. Aparently it was purchased only a couple of weeks ago and because it didnt fit I got it from him as I was going to order one soon anyways.
Maybe another email wouldnt hurt, could always do it from another email address and sign a different name if you're worried you'll be bothering him

what is the website for Wested? also how much do they run price wise? I'm thinking of getting the LL Bean as a close enough for the time being.. so I can also wear it fishing etc. BUT if there's a more sa shirt reasonably priced I'd go for that and save in the long run.. so long as it's durable for wearing regularly
