Club Obi Wan

Thanks! I thinking about ordering and just wanted to see the color. I have a Noel Howard shirt but I'm afraid of wearing it. I don't want to ruin it or something along that line. I know how hard they are to find.

Ok, here's a shot of me wearing my AB. It's about the clearest one I could find at the moment.

The shirt is being pulled forward slightly due to the bag strap but this is more or less where the AB epaulettes come to land on my shoulders.....

You the man! Very nice picture by the way. As for the shirt I love it! The color is reminding me of the SOC shirt. Thanks for such a quick response. I am ordering one ASAP. Cheers.

Thank you.

I love the color of the AB shirt. When I've taken pics with it on and look at them it looks to me like it's identical to the shirt color in Raiders.

Yes, it's a nice shirt - for sure (and you fill it out well, Pitfall)!

I'm still impressed by its durability and comfort ... definitely worth the investment.

Thanks, Jens.

How long have you owned yours, Jens?

I have to confess I've had it since they first came out but most of the time I wear it just with my gear when I'm snapping pics. So, I personally haven't "put it to the test" so to speak. Being that your truly out in the field wearing it and it's still holding up I think is the best compliment you could pay Marc and this shirt.

Uh, I have to do the maths, wait ... well, I have them for about 18, 19 months now and they still do their duties (no loose buttons or sewings yet - and this pair of shirts had a hard time last year ... ).

Wow! That's good to hear. That means I can expect mine to be with me for a long time. The shirt is definitely a very wise investment.

I love my AB shirt - it's very close to my NH shirt in design but with the added advantage of having one extra button at the bottom - the NH shirt is made one button short for some reason so it has a tendency to gape open at the midrift!

I just wanted to chime in and express my gratitude for this thread.
It has been very helpful in making a more educated decision as to which shirt to go after.
My way of working as a buyer is all about doing the homework first before buying an item blind. I would always rather take more time saving up for the better item then to buy an inferior and less expensive item.
Thanks again - and I hope we can get some comparison photos of the shirts in question...
