I had hoped to have the final labels by now and to post the measurements right before I could send them out. I'll do it in the first week of January, when I can work at home only.

Regards,

Marc

First week of January, any update?

Posted: **Tue Jan 08, 2008 10:45 am**

Jup

Finally got a sample label that I'm happy with (you can see it in the show off thread of mine in the gun section) and ordered 500 pieces which SHOULD arrive in 1-2 weeks!!!

I have contacted a tailor in the meanwhile to have the label sewn in, so it's finally comming to an end.

Regards,

Marc

If that ain't good news, folks. As my grandpa used to say "Good things come to those who wait".

Posted: **Tue Jan 08, 2008 11:55 am**

Good. Now would be a good time to start discussion on design and color of the shirt

.....huh....it's a done deal?

Oh, well then, carry on......

Regards! Michaelson

Good job, Marc! Finally this project is coming to an end, and I think it will turn out great. Can't wait for my shirt and holster to arrive...

Posted: **Fri Jan 18, 2008 12:46 pm**

So did they arrive yet? I'm in the army ATM so I'm a bit busy and can check the forums only during the free weekends, looking forward to receiving the measurements.

Posted: **Mon Jan 21, 2008 3:02 am**

Yes they did

I dropped all the labels and shirts at my sewers place yesterday. So it's being worked on as we speak

Marc

I scanned over this thread,but maybe I missed the details. I am very interested in purchasing one of the new AB shirts. Will the size/ship info be posted on COW,or the AB website? Or just send PM to Marc? Thanks, Raider 57.

Posted: **Fri Jan 25, 2008 1:50 am**

The sizes will be posted here very soon. I hope to fetch the finished shirts from my sewer this weekend

Info will be available on www.adventurebilt.com but NOT before the revamp of the site

Regards,

Marc

Sorry, I couldn't resist.

I apologize Marc, I know English is not your native language, so it is very rude of me to laugh, but...perhaps you might consider changing "sewer" to "seamstress" or "seamster."

Technically your use of the word is correct, though it is little used and its alternate meaning (heteronym, actually) is far more widely recognized by native English speakers:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sewer

And please don't hold this against me when I order one of those lovely shirts!

Kind Regards,
Mac

Posted: **Fri Jan 25, 2008 8:37 am**

What, Mac, didn't you know the shirts are coming predistressed?

Posted: **Fri Jan 25, 2008 9:03 am**

Exactly, like in Raiders:

Belloq: Where shall I find a new shirt so close to your own?
Indy: Try the local sewer.

Posted: **Fri Jan 25, 2008 2:10 pm**

Thank you for pointing out the error Mac!

I honestly appreciate it!!!

So when is the site going to get revamped?? I can't wait to get my hands on one these shirts Marc. Looks very SA to what it looks like in Raiders.
Is it going to be revamped in the next week, month, 2 months?

Frankly, I don't what the label looks like. I'm just looking forward to this shirt coming out. I bet AB is going to be on back order like crazy once everyone places an order for this shirt.

Posted: **Sat Jan 26, 2008 1:37 pm**

All Marc needs to do now is start making the pants. Between Marc, Magnoli, and Wested, there's going to be some competition.

Posted: **Sun Jan 27, 2008 4:01 am**

Not quite!

We're in totally different markeds to be honest.

Peter offers a very close to original shirt for a very customer friendly price.

Magnoli offers the only Indy shirt that can be customized to your likenings, be it the cut or measurements.

My goal was to create the most screen accurate replica using a high quality pure cotton for the daily wear. However it only comes in off the rack sizes and with the current value (or the lack off) the Dollar, it's priced accordingly.

Same with the hats: While I'm after the high end stuff only, Magnoli offers a s.a. looking HJ for those who want that particular BRAND.

Different desires, different customers, different markeds

Regards,

Marc

And everybody is happy - just like in a big family, right John Boy?

Posted: **Mon Jan 28, 2008 10:47 am**

So Marc, will the shirt sizes be in S, M, L, XL? Or will they be measured like 15.5 by 36" like a standard dress shirt?

Posted: **Mon Jan 28, 2008 10:54 am**

Marc wrote:Before May

Well I would hope so before May

, I want to get one these shirts before the movie comes out. I do have a wested and it looks very close to the original shirt. I just would like another shirt that looks even a bit more screen accurate.

Is the shirt lighter or heavier than a wested? Can't wait to order one these AB shirts

IndianaChris

Posted: **Thu Jan 31, 2008 5:37 am**

Still no photo of that label?

Posted: **Thu Jan 31, 2008 1:59 pm**

Well I ordered my AB shirt, from the measurements Marc posted earlier this week I guess I am a small, I measured a shirt that fit me pretty well and compared them to Marc's measurements. I will take some pics of the shirt whenever it gets here, the sooner the better.

Thanks Marc.

IndianaChris

Posted: **Mon Feb 04, 2008 10:40 am**

My shirt arrived, my shirt arrived!

I'm so happy about it, it fits like a glove and looks just great... Today is like Christmas. Thanks Marc!

Posted: **Mon Feb 04, 2008 8:03 pm**

Yessssssss I've been waiting for this.

;0

Congrats guys, I belive that makes you two the first to receive. Hows it feel, man can't wait to get mine.
Croft

Posted: **Tue Feb 05, 2008 11:33 am**

As you wish...

It was a little bit too dark in my flat, the color of the shirt looks different in the bright sunlight.
@Marc: I hope it's okay, that I post some pictures here. If not, just tell me...

Posted: **Tue Feb 05, 2008 4:56 pm**

Wow that one nice looking shirt.

I can't wait to get mine, I ordered it last week sometime, but I am in the U.S. so it will be a while before it gets here. So IndianaLV you are the only one that has got one of these in their hands right now, lucky you. There is probably more people that have got these, maybe there just not posting yet.

I will definately post some pics when I do get my shirt though. By the way IndianaLV what size is that a Medium? Large?

IndianaChris

Posted: **Tue Feb 05, 2008 5:18 pm**

That's a large one. Medium would have been fine too, but I ordered one size larger... it fits quite nice.

Posted: **Tue Feb 05, 2008 10:55 pm**

I paid for mine a while ago so I guess I'll have to PM Marc what size I need. Thanks for posting pics! These are looking great!

Posted: **Wed Feb 06, 2008 8:05 am**

Care to show us the label?

The label seems to be the one Marc posted some pages earlier:

And this is how the color looks, if photographed outside:

Posted: **Fri Feb 08, 2008 9:42 pm**

Hey Marc/Steve, since the Fedora liner is now changed,I suppose the shirt labels will also be revised?

raider 57

Yeah I was wondering the same!

Posted: **Sat Feb 09, 2008 1:38 am**

When I ordered the labels for the shirts, Steve hadn't received that letter from Lucasfilm yet, so I went ahead and bough... "plenty"

of the HP labels. I'll use them up before getting new ones, just as we'll do on the hat liners.

I hope the day will come, where I can make a living from this and I hope that this day will be this year. From that day on, I'll exclusively use the new logo, because that would be the day, where I was only doing it for pure pleasure. From that day on, it'll have to buy me food

Regards,

Marc

Posted: **Sat Feb 16, 2008 10:29 am**

I've been away from the computer for about a month, having moved back to Japan, and am a little confused.

Marc, have you posted the size info and have the shirts already shipped?

Posted: **Sat Feb 16, 2008 10:33 am**

It was posted last week but it was quickly locked by Michaelson. It seems to have been deleted sometime this week.

Posted: **Sat Feb 16, 2008 10:54 am**

Thanks for the info VP. I guess I'll pm Marc to see what's going on.

Posted: **Sat Feb 16, 2008 11:03 am**

This is what Marc posted on our german Indy-Forum:

Ok, here goes:

Sleeve length from armpit to tip of cuff:
S=60cm/23.62" - M=63,5cm/25" - L=63,5cm/25" - XL=64,5cm/25.4" - XXL=65,5cm/25.79"

Sleeve length from shoulder to tip of cuff:
S=67,5cm/26.57" - M=71,5cm/28.15" - L=71,5cm/28.15" - XL=73cm/28.74" - XXL=74,5cm/29.33"

Chest measured on the front from armpit to armpit:
S=51,5cm/20.28" - M=54,5cm/21.46" - L=57cm/22.44" - XL=58cm/22.83" - XXL=60cm/23.62"

Shoulder width:
S=44cm/17.32" - M=45,5cm/17.91" - L=47cm/18.50" - XL=48,5cm/19.09" - XXL=49,5cm/19.49"

Total length measured in the back:
S=81,5cm/32.09" - M=84cm/33.07" - L=85,5cm/33.66" - XL=87cm/34.25" - XXL=90cm/35.43"

Neck circumference measured from bottom hole to bottom (not sure how much sense that makes on an Indy shirt, but here you go):
S=37,5cm/14.76" - M=38cm/14.96" - L=39cm/15.35" - XL=39,5/15.55" - XXL=41cm/16.14"

Example: I'm 185cm and 83kg / 6'1" and 166 pounds. The M fits fine, but so does the L, depending on how much I just ate...

I hope this can be used.

Best regards,
LV

BTW, are the Ab shirts machine washable?

Posted: **Mon Mar 03, 2008 6:59 am**

nice shirt not so baggy.what´s the price!

Posted: **Mon Mar 03, 2008 9:55 am**

swcrazyfan wrote:BTW, are the Ab shirts machine washable?

Yes, 40° C and let it spin-dry. It looks even better after you wash it.

Posted: **Mon Mar 03, 2008 10:01 am**

what´s the price!

One of your hands along with two of your other fingers (preferably your thumb and index finger), three of your toes off of the foot of your choosing and if you are missing a finger you may substitute another toe or vice-verse.

No, seriously, the price should be found somewheres in this here thread if you just pony up and do yourself a little lookin'.

Posted: **Mon Mar 03, 2008 11:04 am**

I paid 55 Euros I think, I believe that is still the price for the shirt. Mine should be hopefully here pretty soon along with my AB holster.

IndianaChris

Posted: **Mon Mar 03, 2008 2:03 pm**

55 Euro was the pre-order price for those who were willing to take the plunge without seing the final product. That way fellow fans helped me to scrap the money together for the actual order and in return I could offer a discount.

The actual price incl. worldwide shipping is 69 Euro.

Marc

WOOOOWWW just got my Adventurebilt shirt today in XXL and its fantastic!! Thanks marc i love this shirt, cant wait to wash it tonight and get that wrinkle look going. The WPG shirt feels like a garbage bag compaired to this shirt. Awesome job man, love it!!!

Posted: **Wed Mar 05, 2008 4:22 am**

Listen Marc,only thing left out that measurementlist is "shoulderseam to neck", that´s at least what I need for the right fit.
Oh, are the numbers same to the back as they are to the chest?
Armpit to armpit (?) XXL: 60 cm X 2=120cm, to me that seems little tight...

Indakin comments,you own one!
New AB vs New TODD`S comparison would be nice :!:

Posted: **Thu Mar 06, 2008 12:55 pm**

The shirt looks sweet. So where can we order them?

Posted: **Thu Mar 06, 2008 10:25 pm**

I got mine in the mail today - thanks Marc! It's a bit big, but I'm afraid the M would be too small.
