Got my Indy Magnoli adventure shirt the other day... and I love it. I'd also like to point out that SOMEHOW, the thing got here in two days. From bangkok. how he managed to pull that off, I have NO idea... but I sure am happy about it.

First impression... very nice. I'm not exactly a SA nut.. but as far as I can tell, the pockets are dead on, the pleats are nice and ruffled, and the collar is long and pointy, much like someone once pointed it out as being in a pic from cairo. again, I don't know much about clothes, but the stitching seems perfect to me.

If I have any complaints at all, they're small and non-substantial.. but maybe worth noting. as far as the fit goes.. I know he goes by the measurements we provide, but the waist is VERY tapered on mine and kind of flairs out at the bottom because of it. but I guess if you're going to do a fitted shirt based on 44/34 measurements.. yeah. also, the sleeves are a little big.. they actually fit over my expo sleeves, which was a surprise. and lastly, I could have sworn I ordered the stone colored shirt.. unfortunately the color isn't on the invoice so I can't be sure. but I'm 99% sure that I got light khaki. NOT a great indy color. in fact, the more I look at it, the more sure I am that I got khaki and the more convinced I am that stone would have made this shirt 100% screen accurate. ah, oh well.

I did wash the shirt about 4 times, each time with a cap full of bleach.. and it has lightened the shirt quite a bit. originally it was the same exact color as my bed sheets. anyway, the shirt is simply incredible, and even more incredible if you figure that 30 of the 90 dollar total price went to shipping! best shirt you can get for $60. now we just have to car magnoli stateside to get the shipping down.

Good looking shirt, that's the last thing I need for my gear to be fully operational.

Looks good to me!! My shirt tapers too, but I think it just makes it look better when you have it tucked in - it doesn't balloon out as much this way.

The color looks a like stone to me - Magnoli says that sometimes the batches that come in have slight variations. I think you should be fine. I think if you'd gotten light khaki it'd be much more yellow than it is. Don't worry about the color - looks great.

Good choice! It's my favorite shirt that I own!!

I'm planning on getting one of these when I can afford it. They're machine washable, right?

Yup! And they only get more and more comfortable each time you wash them.

they certainly do. and I've been washing the shirt 3-4 times a day since I got it.

I used the Ritt dye remover on two seperate occasions to lighten up a Stone IM shirt I have and it did lighten it up. I know because I bought two and when you compare them side by side, you can see the difference.

Question, does your cuff have a slot between the two buttons (my two do). Not SA, but IM says this is so you can use cuff links, nice touch but i'd rather he kept the shirts to SA.

Nice shirt, from the pics it looks kinda pink to me (must be the flash). Anyways I'm looking into buying one of these. For some reason I thought he was located in the USA, but after hearing about $30 for shipping I think I'll wait till I'm ready to order a pair of pants too so I don't have to pay double shipping. Very nice shirt though.

yeah, the first pic of me wearing it picks up pink, and one of the pics on the bed is all covered with pink. that's the flash... the second pic of me wearing it is closest to the real color, except for the pink in the pockets.

oh, and shipping is added into the cost of the item.. you don't save by ordering more, but it's not any more than you see as the price. so yeah, magnoli makes more profit when you order extra items, because HE saves on shipping, but his stuff is the same price as wested's stuff shipped, and cheaper than NH. and he's completely custom made, which gives him the win.

oh, and the cuffs do have link holes.

I adore my Magnoli shirt. I've never used anything to remove the dye, and I was it in cold water machine wash and let it hang dry (Mag's recommendations). Every time I wash it, it comes out a little more wrinkled. I don't iron it, but if I needed it sharp, I'm sure it would press nicely.
