Wool Bush Shirt ...

[TeeDee]

So no longer two pockets (one roo) as standard?

As i understand it the BASIC option smock will have a Roo pocket handwarmer at the front as per the Endicotts Website here

http://www.endicotts.co.uk/product_info.php?products_id=1931

But as this is a bespoke item i very confident that if you want to exhange the Roo pocket for lets say a large Chest pocket with flap , Kev would do that as a straight swap.

I say BASIC Smock , because LBL & Kev needed a firm fixed baseline to work from , but overall i think this will be a very bespoke item , so if you have a set idea of what you want and where you want it speak directly to Kev when your number comes up ( in the good way ) and I'm sure he'll bend over backwards to sort you out.


I assume you wanted something different to the Roo pocket?? How did you want the Two pockets arranged? Chest? Waist?



####EDIT;-The website says the following;-

are these items made from wool blankets?
if so are they preshrunk first?

Thanks for clarifying. This is what confused me:

The basic shirt will be:

* Arms, body, hood (with drawcord in hood hem, made of endicott's famous paracord)
* Choice of three different types of button (or toggle) for neck closure.
* Reinforcement trim/detail to cuffs and to neck closure/flap
* One pocket or 'extra' (to be agreed)

They are made from the amazingly thick and high quality Dutch Army Blankets made by Aabe. This material is MUCH thicker that a swanni. But, whilst it is thick...no its not felt.

I would also like to add that the basic smock will have a similar spec in terms of bells and whistles as a swanni but at well under half the price, with the option to have it bespoke fitted, extras added and on top of that have an Endy-backed return and repair guarantee.

As far as making it myself (if only I had both the time, patience and skill to do so) the inspiration for this is not Swanndri but one of our members Mastino who indeed did make his interpretation of the shirt....out of these wool blankets

And if truth be told it's a much nicer colour on the eye than the swannie. I've always felt that the swannie green was a bit harsh and sharp

Its coming from endy's enough said !!!!

 

[backwoodsman]

ok guys , you have sold me the idea, now where do i sign up

 

[verloc]

sorry for the delay on this, this baby lark is harder than expected :|
by all means whatever happens with the place is fine by me - they look great by the way

 

[iamjam]

As the list has filled the 50 slots is there no hope for any of us late comers?

 

[littlebiglane]

The waiting list was closed at 50 places I am afraid - its all in the first posting of this thread. Places might come available if people back out and you never know....a further production run may happen at some time in the future if everything goes swimmingly. I would recommend that people check back now and again. I'll certainly post if a space comes available.

Thanks

Oh...I swapped you out for No.11 - you will be in the next batch. No sweat...and good luck with all those nappies

 

[DutchDave]

Hi LBL,

Any chance of an updated list of lucky ones? I was wondering if I was just no 50 or too late.

Cheers,
David

[littlebiglane]

Thanks jimjolli but I am going to have to insist that the list for this GB goes on no further than 50 at the moment. Sorry. Endicotts have closed the books on this one until further notice. I must respect their wishes on this. When..and if it opens again then everyone will know..but I cannot see that happening for a few weeks if not months.

Also one or two people always pull out so I'll post if they do...so you might have to keep those trigger...I mean mouse fingers at the ready.

Thanks for your interest though.

LBL

 

[jimjolli]

No worries. If somebody does pull out can I be no.1 on the reserve list?

 

[VirusKiller]

Please put me on the reserve list too. Thanks.

 

[littlebiglane]

Hi jimjolli and VirusKiller......I don't think there is a reserve list. I really don't want to administer a reserve list as part of this GB. Please, please keep an eye out for any updates in the thread if people drop out.

Now...I can't blame you for trying. I would too. If I came to the GB too late, missed it and wanted to try and get involved...I would probably do the same. But to be honest....its admin too far for me as it is. The list in the GB should have never got to 50 as it is....I just went away for a few days!

I am sorry to keep saying 'no' about lengthening the list or putting up a reserve list. I mean you no disrespect.

However I admire your tenacity!

LBL

 

[VirusKiller]

No worries. We'll see how it goes.

 

[jimjolli]

Yep, no worries.

Will defo keep an eye on this thread.
