: : : : : one on 24-hour hold. I'm picking it up tomorrow, so then I can tell

: : : : Okay, I am now wearing the shirt, and I can tell you more about it.
: : : : First, and most importantly, it's very comfortable, but at the same time
: : : : loose enough to be functinal for movement. The color is the exact same color
: : : : as the shirts in the films. It is khaki. The shirt has sewn-down epaulets,

: : : : STRUCTURE
: : : : L Superior quality clothing
: : : : 100% cotton Made in Hong Kong

: : : : But don't let the Hong Kong part discourage you. It is NOT a cheap shirt.

: : : : Like the bullwhip, it is both light, strong, and durable. Overall, a

: : : : -Dale Dassel
: : : Thanks a bunch, man. I'll be sure to check it out. Sounds very good!

: : Glad I could help. By the way, it costs about $50. But still, it's

: : also buying ANOTHER Indy shirt!!! It's been a pretty good week.

: : -Dale Dassel

: Just to let you know, I know where you can buy the replica Indiana shirts from.

: The Dometakis shirts are made in London, by a man of the same name. He hand produces the garments such as the shirts used in the Indiana films and also many others and many stage productions. The gentleman is a very good friend of mine and due to the nature of his work you can imagine he is very busy, which means that consumers may have to wait a while and the items are quite expensive. The shop is in Mortimer Street, London, W1, England.

: I hope this is of some use, if you need any further help, just email me.

Hi Sophie!!! I have a question: are you British? Dou you live
in the U.K.? Just curious. Your last name gave it away. I think it
would be cool to meet a British person. I like the part in the Fate of
Atlantis comic book where Sophia Hapgood says: "It's not prop-ah" I
LOVE that!!! :) Do you own a Wested Jacket? Mine's really cool!!!

Sincerely,

Dale Dassel
