We will probably offer custom-made option for larger sized shirts. Stay tuned.

Great!

Please, can I see a pic of the new buttons over the shirt canvas?
Excuse me for the request, but I'm pretty curious about the new buttons color.

Hi,

Here is the pic of the buttons on the shirt from the new batch. Please note the color may be slightly different than seeing in person.

The color looks spot on to the buttons on my NH LC shirt

What's the lead time on these shirts? I ordered mine last Thursday and I'm just wondering when to expect it?

azuma · Post by **azuma** » Mon Feb 08, 2010 9:29 pm

Hi Freemason,

Registered airmail takes 10 to 14 days to arrive. EMS takes 3-5 days. It may be faster sometimes. I have heard some of the fans received thier goods from me in two days.

Best regards,
Azuma

My shirt arrived today. Very nice! Here's some quick and dirty pics, but they show the button colour against the fabric.

I am glad the shirts arrived safely! I hope you all enjoy the shirts like I do

Best regards,

PS. Please note due to Chinese New Year holidays (02/13 - 02/21), no shipment will be made before 02/22.

BazzanoJones · Post by **BazzanoJones** » Sun Feb 14, 2010 3:58 am

Great shirt! I'll order one for sure in the future!

And many thanks to all that have posted pics of it.

sithspawn · Post by **sithspawn** » Tue Feb 16, 2010 9:32 am

Got mine today. OUTSTANDING! Very SA. The best shirt I got since my Noel Howard shirt.

Now all I have to get are Todd's Indy pants when they come out.

Digger4Glory · Post by **Digger4Glory** » Tue Feb 16, 2010 3:15 pm

I really love this shirt! I wish I could buy hundreds of them, sew them together and make my own hot air balloon...
Then I could be Floating away in bliss...

HAHAHHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHA!!!

Digger4Glory · Post by **Digger4Glory** » Fri Feb 19, 2010 12:07 pm

This shirt is so nice, I had to order it twice! Not many shirts, I do that for..
Great job!

moviematt1989 · Post by **moviematt1989** » Sat Feb 20, 2010 4:25 pm

Is EMS really suggested for shipping a shirt to US? What do you guys have to say about the normal shipping?

jnicktem · Post by **jnicktem** » Sat Feb 20, 2010 4:35 pm

I found the shipping to be fast and efficient... I had no problems with it.

knibs7 · Post by **knibs7** » Sat Feb 20, 2010 9:38 pm

I got my shirt in the other day and it is fantastic! I'll admit, I was a nay-sayer when these shirts first started being made, but once Azuma made some corrections, I ordered one and compared it to my NH LC and it is almost identical. Azuma's buttons are still just a TAD too dark, but other than that, it is the closest match to the NH shirt I've seen, and I have one or more shirts from each othe the various vendors. Great job Azuma!

Does anyone have close up shots of the correct SA buttons for the films? I have several MBA shirts. One LC has dark olive buttons, which are darker then the current Azuma shirts. The other MBA LC/TOD shirt had those almost generic multicolored beige buttons. I also have a Raiders with creme buttons and another Raiders with those multi-colored ones. Actually Kyle, I think I saw a post of yours with these same buttons. When you recently scored a LC MBA in XXL. I would like to know which buttons are the actual SA ones. Never really thought about it until you mentioned you would like to see Azuma's LC shirt with lighter buttons, as I thought they could have been darker to match the MBA LC.
Can't seem to get a clear close up screen pic to determine which is correct for each flim...

EMS and it worked out real well!

backstagejack · Post by **backstagejack** » Tue Feb 23, 2010 1:10 pm

I really want one of these and want to order one asap so they don't go out of stock.

Should I order a size up to allow for shrinkage, seeing how its 100 % cotton? I normally wear a Med in almost every shirt I wear, sometimes I have to wear a large because my arms are a little longer....
Also, I hate to ask this, I can't see the sizing chart on your site, for some reason. I use the internet at the library and it tends to block certain things. So I can go to your site, but can't see the sizing chart, is there any way to post it up or pm/email it to me?

Thanks!

backstagejack · Post by **backstagejack** » Thu Feb 25, 2010 3:41 pm

Thanks Azuma for emailing me the chart! I just ordered one!!! Can't wait.

backstagejack · Post by **backstagejack** » Tue Mar 09, 2010 2:54 pm

My shirt just came in today!! It fits great and looks great. It's a tiny tiny bit too tight in the shoulders but if I had ordered the large I think the rest of the shirt would have been too big, so, I'm okay with it.

The quality seems fairly sturdy, as good as any military shirt. I'm wearing it right now, couldn't even bother to wash it first...I HAD to put it on.

It's my first Indy shirt....I remember as a kid going to surplus stores and trying to find one that looked like his, I settled on the normal uniform shirts but was never satisfied....and now, I have one....and its perfect!!!

Now, I just gotta start working out....thanks to the taper fit...LOL!!!

Thanks again Azuma!!

azuma · Post by **azuma** » Tue Mar 09, 2010 8:46 pm

Hi backstagejack,

Glad to know that the shirt arrived safely, and most importantly it fits you nicely, and you like it! Thank you again for joining this project.

Cheers,
Azuma

For people shipping to the US (or Michigan specifically) was there actually an importing tariff? I've ordered things from overseas before where there wasn't one.

jnicktem · Post by **jnicktem** » Tue Mar 09, 2010 10:38 pm

I didn't receive any custom fees if that is what you mean.

Uh really, what's up with that? XL is a common shirt size in the USA.
Please add this size.

My dress shirt size;
17" to 17-1/2" neck
34"/35" sleeve length

Other specs
44L-46L suit jacket
38"-39" waist

If you want a custom shirt, go to Magnoli. I think Azuma has a reason he's not doing XLs, especially not custom shirt sizes.

I don't really need a custom shirt, I consistently wear an XL in every brand of dress or casual shirt. I was just showing my specs to show that an XL is not to far off to make it an offering. Heck just go get one off the rack and use those specs and I imagine it will fit me fine.

I didn't get any fees at all. And the shipping price I paid for was about the same as anywhere in the US.....and it got here as quick as my fed did from Aus.

Washed the shirt and its even better!! Wore it all day today....sadly, I had to take it off to go to work....

Did you go EMS or regular shipping? I am having trouble justifying an extra $16 to an already $55 shirt

Anyone have any trouble with the standard non-ems shipping method?

sithspawn · Post by **sithspawn** » Thu Mar 11, 2010 9:38 am

Did regular shipping and it arrived in about a week and a half.

Might be better to go with regular shipping as it's only another couple of days difference and cheaper.. The downside is you can't track it though...

backstagejack · Post by **backstagejack** » Thu Mar 11, 2010 1:28 pm

I did regular shipping also, and it arrived in a week and a half in perfect condition. I figured if I can't track my akubra's, I'm not gonna worry about tracking a shirt.....

Again, just a great shirt.....I have to stop myself from wearing it all the time...

knibs7 · Post by **knibs7** » Sun Mar 14, 2010 1:06 pm

Very nice! Finally someone that pays attention to the little details, such as pockets being unbuttoned. (By the way, you need to unbutton the left side and keep the right side buttoned for LC)
