16/ Medium.

For anyone who has bought an Azuma shirt before... How much can I expect this thing to shrink? I have rather long arms, and I want to know whether I should buy the medium (and hope for the best in terms of length and shrinkage) or buy a large (which is too big in the neck) and get it tailored (can I tailor a neck size)? I typically wear a 15 neck and a 34/35 sleeve. Should I just work out more and build more strong muscles?

Not much at all... I have 2 of Azuma's TODs and 2 LCs and they are still roughly the same size as when I bought them. That's even after they've been through the wash, not dry cleaning. I think at most they might have shrunk a quarter of an inch, but that's a big MIGHT.

I'm on for one of these. His shirts are great. I already have two of them.

Best regards,

Am I too late for this? If not, what's the email address?

Hi Satipo,

I can put your on the list. Please send an email to "hamsolo@hotmail.com". Thank you.

Best regards,
Azuma

Great! Thanks, mate! Could you point me in the direction of your sizing chart?

Hi Satipo,

Here is the size chart:

got it

Azuma

I also sent an e-mail, and am hoping I'm not too late.

Thought I'd bring this one up, haven't heard any up-dates as of late and I, like many others are most anxiously awaiting these shirts.

Croft

I will visit the studio this Friday, and will keep you updated via email as usual.

Best regards,
Azuma

Waiting with anticipation. Very cool project!

Any news on the Raiders shirt?

I was wondering if these shirts are available for order. I have been hearing about your shirts Azuma and all I can say from what I have seen here I have been very impressed. I would like to order a shirt if it is still not too late.

Regards,

IndianaChris

This is the last update I had from Azuma on 8/8/2012:


"Dear Indy Fans,

Sorry for keeping you wait. I hope you haven't given up on me yet... Regarding the fabric, I haven’t found the ideal fabric for Raiders shirts, however, my wife’s college friend is in fashion business, and he will also help me to source the fabric overseas through his supplier.

Asides from the update on the fabric, we do have some progress on the shirt. I have decided to abandon the Raiders 81 project, and doing a very small run of the Raiders shirts first. I will use the fabric I mentioned last time. It’s a decent and nice fabric, but unfortunately, the supplier dose not have more than 40 yards in stock, so with the fabric they have left, we can only do 22 to 25 shirts. The production will start late August, and we shall have them ready for shipping in September. Due to limited fabric available, we will only make the shirts in the following sizes: 15.5, 16, 16.5, and 17. A few sample shirts will also be available for sell when the small run is ready.

I will continue looking for the fabric and making the Raiders shirts to fulfill the sizes and orders, so if you didn’t get a shirt from this small run, no worry, we will make more as soon as we have find suitable fabric for this project. Thank you again for your patience. I will keep this project moving.

Cheers,
Azuma"

Waiting patiently.

What ever the time frame, it'll be worth it. As Azumas work is awsome.

Croft

Tahnk you for your patience!

Azuma

Just another congrats to Azuma. I haven't worn my Azuma LC in awhile, mostly because a button popped off and I hadn't gotten around to fixing it. SO for the Indy Imax, I fixed it and wore it. Since then I've been wearing it regularly.

Everytime I wear it, I get compliments. Even my girl says something everytime I wear it.

So, Thanks Azuma. And I can't wait for the Raiders!!

I thought I read that there might be a second run of the Raider shirts, but when the servers had to be reset to an older date Im not sure if I was just imagining it. So does anyone know for sure if there might be a second run of the shirts?

No your not imagining things that you thought you might have read.
Azuma has plans on a second run, just not sure when, if I recall it's due to finding the fabric and the right fabric supplier. One or the other is the issue. He had enough material to do a small run so he did, just to wet our appites.

So paitance GlobeTrekker, in the end you'll be rewarded. Just keep an eye on this thread.

Croft

PS if your a size S check out the bazzar, he has one or two prototypes for sale.

GlobeTrekker,

Yes, there will be another run! Need to find some fabric first~

Azuma

Thank you Indiana Croft and Azuma for your answers to my post, and I'm glad to hear that azuma's excellent work will be making a second run.

Does anyone have any photos of the finished product on the first run of azumas raiders shirt they could post on here or know somewhere where I could view some?
Cheers.

We are currently revising the pattern of Raiders shirt. And hopefully we will work on the new run soon!

Azuma

Will this pattern have the epaulette extending past the shirt pleat?

Previous run already has the epaulettes extending over the pleats (indydude18, you do have one of the shirt from previous run, right?). However, we will make the epaulettes longer this time.

Best regards,
Azuma

Azuma,

Yes, I have one from the 1st run and it rocks. Only wish the epaulettes were a tad bit longer.

Such as this:

That's our goal this time. That's way new pattern is in process for the new run

Azuma

Oh Azuma, you tease. I'm already drooling, can't wait. Do you have a time frame in mind for the new pattern/shirt.

Look forward to and I'll assume sizing will be the same as before.
Thanks for the update.

Croft

Hi Croft,

We hope the new run will be ready in late summer ;-)

Azuma

Thank you, I'll start saving my pennys.



Croft

Azuma

Well, here's a couple of good shots of my Azuma Raiders shirt.

I love it!






DHW

So when is late Summer?? Living Down Under I have no idea, summer is a long way off for us..

Those shots look great Daren! The color looks great in the sun. Are those Todd pants?

In the picture above I'm wearing my Azuma Raiders shirt, and Wested pants

In this photo, I'm wearing a WPG shirt with my Todd's pants.

Obviously, I'm wearing a different hat and belt too, and the photos were taken a day apart, though I took the photos right around the same time of day, in the morning.



DHW

Azuma,

Any update of the new Raiders shirts?

-Adrian

Hi Adrian,

No news so far...

We have got a fabric supplier who can supply us poplins in wide range of colors in Khaki, and the pattern is revised for the shirt, but the studio do not have time on our project so far... Same problem as before... They will eventrually made the shirt for us.

Best regards,
Azuma

Hi Azuma! I'd like to be put on the list to purchase one of your Indy shirts when the new run is complete. A size large please. Any updates on having the new run of shirts ready anytime soon? Thanks!
