Club Obi Wan

Better for the approaching colder weather here and am thinking of getting a second.

But they are still short at the back...or at least they were 6 months ago?

Have read here about problems and a new cut....so are they being delivered now?

cheers

I just got one of Todd's new ones with the new sizing, a Large +, and the sizing is much better (and longer) than my old standard Large. There should be a size chart on his website with all the measurements for you to check out. It's a great shirt made even better with the size corrections. I can actually wear the sleeves down now too.

Hope this helps,
Frank

Last week I asked them this exact question.

Here's what I sent them on Tuesday, March 10th:
"I'm hoping you can help me with the next order I'll place by providing me with some additional information about your Coyle's Indiana Jones Style Shirt. I should begin by saying that I'm a Member of IndyGear's Club Obi Wan...I'm thinking about ordering one of these shirts (the majority of posts on the C.O.W. Discussion Boards certainly give it high praise for accuracy with the exception that some people have issues with the color and/or the length of the shirt..."It's too short and becomes untucked pretty easily" is the common comment).
I've seen a number of posts on these threads that seem to suggest that one (maybe both) of these issues might be corrected at some point.
Is this the case?
To be honest, my primary concern is the length of the shirt... I often wear my shirts untucked and nothing bothers me more than when the shirt itself only hangs down 2 or 3 inches past the waist of my pants.
Are you currently offering a longer version of your shirt?
If not, is this something that's in the works?"

They responded that evening:
"Yes, we have corrected the length issue on the Indy shirts. We have also posted a size measurement chart on the website to further assist customers with determining what shirt(s) they should order. I think you'll be interested in the + size shirts because these are the longer length versions."

Hope this info helps.

thedurdens: Is there any chance you could post a photo of the shirt you received?

I am curious as to the length and the sizing of the large + as well. Is your shirt true to the website's listed specs?

I just place an order for one which I should receive later this week.

thanks all...ordered the shirt!

and the boots!!!

oh well it was pay day.

I should really post some comparison pics. Sorry yet again for being so lax in my gear photos. The camera is my enemy. I will try to get my girl to take some photos, but I can say that there is definitely more length in the body and the sleeves in the new Large + compared to the old Large.

Hope this helps (in a non-visual way )
Frank

all help is good.

I'll take a shot of my older todds with newer todds when it arrives.

Cool.
I actually haven't ordered mine yet (and I never owned one of the "older" ones) so I'd be curious to see them side by side.
Thanks, Indy C!
Mitch

Well I impressed. Got my Todd's shirt earlier than expected...overnight!

The Large + fits just a tad looser than the normal 16.5 x 36 dress shirts I normally wear. I think with its first wash it might shrink to perfection. Great product!

If it helps, here is the link to the page with the size chart:

Not everyone finds that page.

another pic with flash

isnt that yellow in person so a camera is its enemy

Can anyone post a photo of a Todd's Indy Shirt outside in direct (and bright) sunlight?
Curious to see.

yea i will go do that now

sorry didnt catch the bright sun so i adjusted the colors to show what it actually looks like because the darker sunlight causes the pics to come out a dark yellow and looking at it its not dark at all.
the pic is still not probably what it is i will take one tomorrow for more acurate

here is the current one will take new one tomorrow

this is taken with my iphone sorry my camera broke when i was about to take pics so i had to use my iphone

http://i536.photobucket.com/albums/ff32 ... G_0311.jpg

Please don't apologize, indyfan1234...
I think that photo's great.
And speaking for myself, it really gives me a good idea of what to expect from bright, natural exterior lighting.
Thanks so much for your efforts and help with this!

All the Best,
Mitch

yea im just trying to show that cameras make it more yellow than it really is in person also if u film it with a video camera it looks more the stone color than yellow so you would be set if you decide to make a movie. (i discovered that because im in the process of making a fan film)

here is my todds indy shirt taken with my hp camera with flash hope you like the color

i like your camera mine with flash makes it yellow and yours looks more stone color did u change the color

indyclone, those photos are GREAT (and DO really show off the color)!

Hmmm...
I just had a thought...
Maybe actually putting the shirt ON and getting into character (or actually channeling Indy, like indyclone is doing) actually MAKES the color look even MORE Screen Accurate!)...

Hey, ya never know...

Either way, man... thanks for posting those!

heres me in the mirror wearing my todds and other gear
(its hard to show the true color on camera)

Any chance you'll still be able to post a photo of the 2 shirts side-by-side?

i would love to see that too i was wondering what the shirts used to look like

Raining here in Old Sydney Town...so not much chance to do the photographs....promise to do it though!

So my opinions after a few wears.

The XL is XL....
Bit long on the old arms, but as it's certainly longer at the back I do not mind.

USELESS WITHOUT PICS...YES....but

The colour really settles down after a couple of washes....really nice hue...much more stone colour.

Currently wearing it at the office with my Wested trousers and Todds boots....Godamn its a good look...and people have stopped calling me Indy as they're used to me in some sort of gear everyday now

im going to try the one pair of blacks socks method ive seen pics and the color looks just like the shirt in the first time we see indy in raiders, when he is standing right after he whips the bad guy lol

looks just like this color

http://www.theraider.net/films/raiders/ ... ns/r95.jpg

As promised PICS

http://s460.photobucket.com/albums/qq32 ... ry/Shirts/

Still very overcast so the pics only show the lengths and details...but the colour sees about the same close up.

My opinion...for the money Todds is a great buy!

Enjoy

Thanks for those photos, Indy C.
You're right... that color quickly becomes more and more impressive.

Almost immediately after I wrote (last Tuesday in the "Shirt comparison: NH / Wested / Todd's" thread) that I'd wait on the BLACK SOCK WASH method, I completely broke down and did it anyway.

Haven't taken the "After" photo yet for comparison purposes... but I will be doing that later today in that thread, if you're curious.
By the way, can I just take a second and talk about how GREAT that shirt looks when it comes straight (meaning "wrinkled") outta' the dryer?
I think that just really captures the "look"...
Don't get me wrong, I'm sure it's a nice looking shirt when it's been ironed, too... but I dunno... there's something about that "rumpled" look.

what's an iron?


left to dry on the line too
