    Hi James...

    email me please...let's look into the email traffic and sort this out....

    For the absence of doubt, no one is being hung out to dry here.

    If there are issues, as I fully expect there to be (the dread i mentioned earlier..) then we'll attempt to sort them, in an adult fashion.

    Those who have been part of this project will be aware that every attempt has been made to ensure measurements have been preserved accurately.

    Hence the final email to each of you with the measurements used to make your shirt, PRIOR to posting.

    Mr White, as you've not been involved in the project, you couldn't have known that.

    Inevitably, there will have been errors, gremlins will have crept through, and we fully expect to have to try to sort them out.

    Can I ask that anyone not fully happy with their shirt email or pm me privately so I can try to offer some solace.

    I suspect there will be some idle onlookers rejoicing in the moans of dissappointment voiced on the thread....

    Every accident attracts rubberneckers.

    But the great majority of souls on AJB are genuine and fairminded, and have made this project worth the agony.

    Cheers Paul

    Just to reiterate what paul said we made every attemp to check/doublecheck measurements before and after tsh shirts were made but inevitably errors will occur.

    PM Paul and or myself and we will try to resolve any issues.

    Thanks
    Simon

    Joe, yours doesn't exist until we have seen a pic of you wearing it AND it's your new facebook avatar.

    Duuuuude!

    I got mine today and it is awesome! Fits perfectly. As soon as I got to work I put it on and strutted around the office like a true JB geek!
    Nice!

    Will post pics as soon as I can find the right kind of crane...

    Massive thanks again to all involved for making this happen.

    An apology to Simon, the problem with my shirt is due to an inaccurate measurement by ME so massive apology for not pointing this out more clearly. My shirt is NOT for sale as I am now hopeful of sorting somthing out and would not sell anyway because it breaches the sell on agreement, so again big apology for that aswell. Great pics from the rest of you who got your shirt and big thank you for those who have put in the time, money and effort to get this project off the ground.

    You gotta give me a few weeks/months in the gym before I can do that! ;)

    Maybe it would be more interesting to post photos of you wearing the shirt, rather than the shirt alone. The shirt pics were seen here many times.

    Of course, you can crop your head off if you wish. {:)

    It's just a suggestion...

    Here's one of the shirt being worn, sorry about the quality but pic was taken by my wife with my phone.

    Thx James...this is very honest and honourable of you...

    A lot of effort went into getting the measurements right, and in spite of Simons lack of computer skills ( :) ) I think we got most right..

    As discussed privately, we'll do our utmost to sort ur shirt...

    Now, so far we're a bit light on pics...

    Inked's looks great, so the part... u need beige trousers to finish it but that shirt was made for ya...what does the wife think?...

    I heard back yesterday that some US shirts had been held at customs, but were being dealt with...

    otherwise, i suspect we have a several more to members yet to announce their successful arrival...

    cheers Paul

    Cheers, I will endevour to get a photo this weekend with the correct colour trousers (and my planet ocean)

    Since seeing the shirt in the flesh, the Wife no longer regards it as such a waste of money as she first did, and has certainly started to appreciate just how much work has gone into getting it so accurate to the original.

    Got my shirt today. Fits like it should. Patterns match up correctly on seams. I'm quite pleased. It was worth the long wait. Enjoy the pictures:

    Mantis,

    Thanks. Cheated a bit on the watch. I don't own the PO yet, but it's on my list. The watch is actually one of my Rolex Submariners on a crocodile strap. It does work for the photograph though.

    To all those that purchased the Madagascar shirt, if interested Rittenhouse Archives recently released swatches of the real shirt worn by Daniel Craig from their James Bond in Motion Trading Card set. They’re available on Ebay. The card is Bond in Motion TC05 numbered to 650 pieces. It’s embedded with three swatches of fabric, the Madagascar shirt, the gray undershirt and the pants. It would make a nice companion piece to the shirt.

    Here is a link to an image of the card:

    Great pics DG.....that shirt was made for you...

    in fact, if DC ever needs a(nother) body double....(neck down of course... :) )

    More pics!

    Anyone else seeing DGs pic twice? (Looks great on, DG, I just don't see more than the one pic duplicated.)

    DG's from New York.....so good he showed it twice?.. :)

    Actually, they are different pics...

    take a look at the lower right (as you look at the pic) corner of the shirt...they are slightly different, implying these were action shots as he moved towards the camera-person...

    More pics guys...

    Ok, to someone who has a)followed this thread with some interest, and b) might want to get a shirt without reading through 76 pages of posts to find out how:

    1. Shirt cost--how much
    2. Buttons--will they be correct if ordering now
    3. Time to get a shirt and delivery--window

    Thank you. Going to Goldeneye this July and this shirt would be quite the attire for the tour.

    Sruzgar is in charge of the buttons, so i'll let him opine.
    3. Time to get a shirt and delivery--window it'll take about a week from giving your measurements to completion. Then it's up to the postal service.

    Don't feel too safe, Asp9mm, I have temporarily access to the net.

    Paul, the pics of my shirt are on my camera and I have to find a way to load them up, but it does not work with the iphone.

    You get pics latest after my return.

    Im the meantime: Behave guys! ;)
