Email sent and pre-order in for a couple of blue shirts!
I too would rather like them for Gallifrey next month but I suspect that is a little optimistic now. Perhaps it will help with the post convention blues when they do arrive, though!

Bad news... just heard back from the factory that the cloth won't be finished until end of April. The thing that worries me is that I've found that these factories are sometimes overly optimistic, so if they say the end of April that's probably assuming everything goes well. For once, I hope it does! I'll keep everyone posted in any case.
For those who have pre-ordered the shirt, according to this update, the finished shirts will start shipping around the middle of May.
Kind regards,

Bummer. That rules out WonderCon then. Oh well. Thanks for the update though Indy. I'm sure this is just as frustrating for you.
Cheers.
Indy, do you have any new sample photos? We saw original shirts at GallifreyOne and the cuff stripes were much darker (blue and red) than your last posted photo.Indy Magnoli said:
I had no idea an 11th Doctor shirt was even on the cardsI've just ordered the 10th brown suit and tie from Magnolia so this makes me a very happy bunny
Slightly off topic but which colour is best for a sreen accurate Tennant shirt ?

He wears a bunch of different colors in the series, but for the particular style we sell on our site, French Blue is probably the most accurate (you can select the color "other"). He also wears a light blue and dark grey, plain styled shirt in other episodes.
Kind regards,

The ones he wears most often are a pale blue linen shirt (almost white but not quite), and a dark navy blue shirt with white buttons.
Thanks for thatThis is the colour of the shirt I'm after, is it the 'French blue' ??
That is one of the hardest to match and, to be honest, our Egyptian Cotton in Dark Grey seems to be closer than any of the blue variants available.
Kind regards,
Indy
That's not the same shirt as Sound of Drums though, is it?
That is actually the same shirt, the navy with white buttons. The light plays havoc with it because of the sheen of the fabric. It's a John Lewis shirt. The trick is to find a navy shirt with less saturation than usual. I have yet to find a good match in an American store.
I've talked to my fabric suppliers about this and, as I said above, every dark grey is closer than every dark blue/navy we've looked at.
Very disappointing. I thought I was being optimistic hoping to see them before the Gallifrey Convention in late February (we were prompted for pre-orders at the beginning of January, so it didn't seem impossible at the time). Now we won't even have them for the S6 launch party on the 23rd of AprilIndy Magnoli said:
Oh well, I'm sure the shirts will be great by the time they arrive - even if they will be a distant on-screen memory by then!
Another month's slipped by. Any news on these shirts, how is it going?
Apparently, the fabric should be finished and shipped soon to our tailors. I'm waiting on confirmation as there were some logistics issues with the shipment. Figures.

Any rough idea on the price of one of these when they are available?
Unless we get mauled by customs, the shirts will be $150 (shipped).
Kind regards,
Indy
That sounds really good. Any add-ons, like the bowtie, suspenders, trousers?Indy Magnoli said:
The pants are in the works (might be ready before the shirts) and the newer tie is on the to-do list, though we aren't likely to do the suspenders.
Kind regards,
Indy
Good to hear about the tie. I really like the season six blue.
Try swaggerandswoon.com for the suspenders. Narrow, 25mm, silver clip, with a reversable slider on the back to make them more accurate. They're also white-backed as seen in "the Eleventh Hour" and "The Lodger."
I'm still not convinced the 11th Doctor's outfit will be for me...I KNOW I will look smashing in the Tennant suit, but lets face it - who walks around in a tweed jacket and bow-tie? I might have to stop at Mens Warehouse and try the look on to see how I like it first - but I DO like the Smith wavy pattern shirt.
Just wondering how that went? Are those of us who prepaid 6 months ago shortly to have an exciting package turn up?Indy Magnoli said:
I'm having a couple of photos of myself and Karen Gillan taken in just under three weeks time from now and would very much like to be wearing one of these shirts for at least one picture with her...
