Azuma's projects #2 of 3 - The Last Crusade Shirt

wow. They run big....esp. for Asia-originated apparel. Can't wait to get mine and see how it compares to my AB and Magnoli.

azuma · Post by **azuma** » Tue Sep 29, 2009 10:26 am

We set the size according to the data we have from different US branded shirts. For Asia-originated apparels, the sizing are much smaller. Shirt with 16.5" collar is usually labelled "XL" for most of brands here.

Would you say these are accurate as far as fit goes..
would you say they're more of an atheletic/slim fit so they don't look super baggy?

I usually wear large shirts, they're comfortable on me. I can fit into most medium shirts (and ESPECIALLY medium sweaters) but they feel noticeably tight/not well fitting.

Should I get a medium?

azuma · Post by **azuma** » Fri Oct 02, 2009 6:12 am

These LC shirts are designed for slim fit, just like it should be.

The fitting shouldn't be baggy if you choose the correct size. You will probably need to measure your regular shirt and compare with the size chart above for better fitting.

Best regards,
Azuma

Got my Azuma shirt in the post today and I love it. The shirt seems very well made and fits me like a custom shirt. Thanks Azuma, great job

The shape may look a bit 'off' in the pics but I had only just taken it out of the packet.http://i685.photobucket.com/albums/vv21 ... tet005.jpg

Matt, that shirt looks great! My Azuma shirt is in the mail, so I should have it within the next few days.

May I ask you what size you ordered and your height? If you don't mind.

matt black · Post by **matt black** » Fri Oct 02, 2009 1:33 pm

Thanks jnicktem. I ordered the small as the sizes matched up pretty well with my Todd's shirt. I am about 5'10".

All the best,

Rob.

jnicktem · Post by **jnicktem** » Fri Oct 02, 2009 1:53 pm

I ordered a Large, and read what Azuma said about the Large being like a Todds LB. I had a Todds XL that fit me okay, but I am hoping that if it is like a Todds LB, that the Last Crusade shirt will fit me perfectly.

Plus I really like how the shirts are slim fitted, since it seems my problem with Indy shirts is that they are too baggy. When I wear them they just don't look right.

mrkaboom · Post by **mrkaboom** » Fri Oct 02, 2009 3:19 pm

Just got back from london and the shirt was waiting for me - i ordered a large - fits like a glove and is fitted also in a similar way to my NH.

Really like the shirt and may even wear it for my night out tomorrow in Leeds!

I don't know- maybe it's a funny looking picture posted about, but there is just something about the shirt that looks off to me. I'm not trying to imply that Azuma doesn't make a great shirt, I'm just saying that in MY opinion, something just doesn't seem to look right.

PSBIndy · Post by **PSBIndy** » Fri Oct 02, 2009 11:54 pm

I just got my Azuma as well. It's a great shirt for the price and very well made. However, I consider my AB shirt to be THE Indy shirt....the look, color, fit and quality is unsurpassed!

azuma · Post by **azuma** » Sat Oct 03, 2009 1:46 am

AB shirt is based on the Raiders version, mine is based on the LC version. These two versions of Indy shirt have many differences in the design and color, although they may look the same. I will post some photos for comparision later.

Best regards,
Azuma

Imahomer · Post by **Imahomer** » Sat Oct 03, 2009 2:40 am

I'm waiting w/my fingers crossed that an XL becomes available in the future. In the meantime, can someone who got a large tell me if it fits like a type large?

Mike

Imahomer · Post by **Imahomer** » Sat Oct 03, 2009 2:20 pm

Thanks Michael... It sounds like it's going to have to be an XL for me!

We are working on XL sized shirt. Will try to make it happen asap.

I received your shirt Azuma! INCREDIBLE work! It is fantastic.

Indiana Jake · Post by **Indiana Jake** » Wed Oct 07, 2009 3:14 am

My Large Azuma shirt fits - that is I can get it on, but I wear a 38 waist in jeans, and it is too tight through the middle, and actually too tight in the sleeves at the upper arm area. This is from a guy who doesn't work out. I am 6 ft tall. It fits in the neck, sleeve and tail length, but I'm not slim enough for this shirt. Every other Indy shirt I have is a 2XL. This shirt is for someone thinner than me. Younger too!

So while it is a VERY LARGE large shirt, you better be lean enough to wear it. This is the best made Indy shirt I have seen.

It is in no way a RAIDERS shirt. AB nailed that one in my opinion. Regardless of which movie shirt you like, this shirt really stands out in terms of quality and attention to detail.

I will be looking forward to the XL when it becomes available. Before QM summit I hope.

Is this thread worthwhile without pictures?

matt black · Post by **matt black** » Thu Oct 08, 2009 6:22 pm

I wore my shirt to the British museum a couple of days ago and took a pic with the crystal skull. Sorry for the quality but it was on my phone.

knibs7 · Post by **knibs7** » Thu Oct 08, 2009 9:35 pm

Ok I figured out why this looks more like a costume shirt- the material looks too thick AND the buttons are way too dark for the LC shirt

That picture looks much better. Buttons are still too dark, but good improvement.

Looks good to me!

Washed and wrinkled is the way to go.

azuma · Post by **azuma** » Fri Oct 09, 2009 4:41 am

The shirt in the photo is from the same batch of shirts we are offering now. It just looks better when wrinkled.

For your information, the weight for a large sized shirt is around 260g, 245g for a medium sized shirt, and 230g for a small sized shirt.

The button color is appoximately Pantone 449 when seeing indoor with fluorescent light. Pantone 450 would probably look closer. However, this is by far the best buttons (in terms of color) along with LC shirts that are available from existing vendors.

Best regards,
Azuma

azuma · Post by **azuma** » Fri Oct 09, 2009 4:50 am

Photo link changed. http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2562/399 ... b128_o.jpg

The shirt shown in the photo is in size small. The model dressed in the shirt is 175.5cm tall, 70kg, and with 39" chest.

In addition, NH size M shirt weighed 220g.

BazzanoJones · Post by **BazzanoJones** » Mon Oct 12, 2009 7:53 am

Wrinkled it's the way!

Aside the buttons (sorry, but they're really too dark even for a LC shirt) I think this is the best alternative at the Todd's shirts. Very good work Azuma!

jnicktem · Post by **jnicktem** » Tue Oct 13, 2009 5:25 pm

My Azuma shirt arrived today!

Speaking as someone who has owned a Indy shirt from Noel Howard, Adventurebilt, and Todds, I still say that the NH shirt is the king. However, I am going to place the Azuma shirt as a VERY close second! The material feels the same as a NH, which to me is important because I love the feel of my NH, but don't like wearing it too much due to its rarity.

I only have one big problem with this shirt... and that is it is too big for me. I ordered the same size as my NH (a size Large) but I feel like I can go down to a Medium... so I am planning on placing that order in the near future. Until then, I will still wear my Azuma shirt, which is a BIG 2 thumbs up IMHO!

azuma · Post by **azuma** » Wed Oct 14, 2009 12:06 am

Thank you guys I am glad you like the shirt.

I have got reply from the button supplier. They will re-do the buttons for the next batch. I will probably assign a pantone color for them instead of give them the photo for reference. That would be easier to work it out.

Azuma

jnicktem · Post by **jnicktem** » Wed Oct 14, 2009 12:08 am

That's good to hear! Any idea when the next batch is due out?

azuma · Post by **azuma** » Wed Oct 14, 2009 2:04 am

We will do XL first, then the regular sizes. Hopefully, soon.

Great news! If the color will be right (a dark khaki from the movie pics) I'll place an order in that second batch!

We will consider it if the shirts are doing well.

azuma · Post by **azuma** » Fri Oct 16, 2009 11:19 am

I don't think it is just dark khaki, I believe it has some greenish tone in it. Will find a close match of the pantone code later.

Baldwyn · Post by **Baldwyn** » Sat Oct 24, 2009 4:43 pm

Cool shirt!! Colour has a less pink tone compared to NH shirts, perhaps more green. Which I think is more accurate for LC! I should do some comparison shots. Anyways, thanks for a great offering Azuma!

Hollowpond · Post by **Hollowpond** » Mon Oct 26, 2009 5:42 pm

Nice fit Baldwyn! If you don't mind me asking approximately size are you and what size did you opt for? (nice chicken by the way

) Azuma, when do you expect to have the second run ready, and will they have the current button color or will we get the new button color you're checking in to?

Travis

Baldwyn · Post by **Baldwyn** » Mon Oct 26, 2009 7:37 pm

Thanks Travis!! Yeah, my wife was disgusted that she was participating in a picture where I was posing dramatically with a chicken. And then I figured since I was wearing the Azuma shirt, what the heck

I'm about a 38-40 chest, and ordered a medium. The shirt just needs to be worn, and washed (this was the first real time wearing it, hasn't been washed yet), and it'll really start looking the part. I found the thread colour a little light, the buttons a little dark, but suspect once the newness is gone, this will become less apparent. I love the details, especially the wonky epaulets (they usually hide the top shirt seams, but these button up higher towards the back) that I think are unique to the LC shirt. Not that you can tell from the movie! The only shots I've seen with the jacket off is the infamous stapler sequence!

binkmeisterRick · Post by **binkmeisterRick** » Mon Oct 26, 2009 7:42 pm

But is the chicken screen accurate?

Baldwyn · Post by **Baldwyn** » Mon Oct 26, 2009 7:48 pm

Of course not.

It's completely the wrong colour!

azuma · Post by **azuma** » Mon Oct 26, 2009 9:46 pm

Baldwyn,
Maybe the chicken just look lighter in the movie

Hollowpond,
We are expecting to get the sample button in later this week. We have already seen the color swatch, but need to see it in person. Will keep posted.

Best regards,
Azuma

Wow Baldwyn! That looks absolutely brilliant! Even though I'm getting my shirts tailored, this is really nudging me in Azuma's direction!

Are the sleeve lengths given measured from the shoulder to cuff end?

Yes, from shoulder to wrist (cuff end). Size chart has been updated, please use the following instead.

hey azuma. Im a 45'' chest 35'' waist.

when I see the chart I see that the shirt that would be a good fit for in those areas has very long sleevs. 26.5'' thats pretty long.

can they be adjusted?

azuma · Post by **azuma** » Fri Oct 30, 2009 11:02 pm

Hi Indiana Holt,

Unfortunately, they can not be modified at this time.

Best regards,

Post by **Holt** » Sat Oct 31, 2009 12:31 am

yeah. I know.

especially my back. which is one big V. thats a little annoying sometimes. the armhole really tightens up and pinches my armpits when I pull my arms in front of me.

this working out is so bittersweet sometimes....
