after whiskeyman said this I began to wonder....he said the MBA costumes are not in for buisness anymore
does this mean that it's impossible to get a NH shirt??
thanks

MBA costumes either shut down or no longer does the Indy stuff (I believe Noel left?). Though as far as I know he still sells the stuff, but its through his own shop..instead of MBA costumes

Unless something has changed, MBA IS still in operation but under new management and ownership, and have nothing to do with Noel Howard, who is on his own now.

Are you sure that's the case? I seem to remember some years ago that I talked to a female member of staff on the phone about the fact they were closing down, and consequently I panic-bought a couple of pairs of pants and another shirt!

Eric, the email adress above is the correct one. But Noel has been out of the country alot because of work related stuff. I think he's still in North Africa, the last I heard from him was in December ( Boxing day I believe)

Pretty sure, Satipo.
I received several emails, one as recently as last summer, from the fellow who now owns the MBA shop/name, trying to get me to buy their stuff. It was the same material, but WAY over priced for what it was, so I never followed up.
That's the last I heard from them.

I always thought they were bought out by Hand and Lock. I know someone there, I'll see if I can dig out some info.
What was the accuracy like?

I think you have to email Noel directly.

Yup, email Noel direct, but he is often out of town for work. He will respond though it may take awhile. Great guy to deal with too....

Has anyone managed to get in contact with Noel? Last time he responded to my emails was way back in December...
