New Shipping Option for a Great Low Price!

The shipping price for the Jayne Hoodie just got a whole lot shinier! When we released our Jayne Hoodies to customers around the 'Verse, we realized that our existing shipping options weren't quite up to the task. That's why we created a NEW inexpenive shipping option for customers outside of Canada!

Called "Small Packet Postal", this option is perfect for shipping hoodies and other small clothing items (such as vests and shrugs) outside of Canada. Please note that this new shipping option is ONLY for small clothing items and therefore does not apply to full length coats or men's leather jackets.

The new options are:

USA
Small Packet Postal = $25 CAD
Traceable, insured, 10-14 business days.

International
Small Packet Postal = $35 CAD
Non-traceable, insured, 10-14 business days.
Please Note: This option does not include a tracking number.

Canada
For Canadians, the price is the same:
Xpresspost & Small Packet Postal = $19 CAD
Traceable, insured, 5-7 business days.

So if you've been thinking about buying a new Jayne Hoodie or our discounted Bride Jacket (25% off!) or G-I-G Shrug (45% off!), now you can choose "Small Packet Postal" to ship them for a lot less!

If you have any questions at all about the nitty-gritty of shipping, please don't hesitate to Contact Us! To see ALL of our shipping options, please check out our Shipping Page.

Jayne Hoodie Now Available!

AbbyShot's Firefly Inspired Jayne Hoodie!We've got some extra-shiny news for you today: the Jayne Hoodie is now available to order from AbbyShot!

NOW you know what to wear:
  • To your next shindig!
  • To go visit your "Ma"!
  • To party it up in Jaynestown!
  • To steal from the Blue Sun Corporation!
  • To rustle up some black market beagles!
A BIG THANKS goes out to our blog readers who took the time to comment on the "Jayne Hoodie in development" - we couldn't have made this without you! All the features you want are included (the pom-pom, the tattoo, the colours), making this one awesome Firefly inspired hoodie!

Another big thanks goes to Artcat who made a very cunning recreation of Jayne's dragon tattoo that we're including on all Jayne hoodies (on the upper left arm of course!). As a special treat, she's even offering the design as a temporary tattoo on her website. Shiny.

I think the awesome folks at Serenity Stuff may have described this best. The Jayne Hoodies really are:

'Original items that pay homage to versy things with creativity and style, while piquing the interest of newcomers and delighting any Browncoat who sees you and says “Wha…?”'

You can be a trailblazer in your corner of the 'Verse - grab your Jayne Hoodie today!

Customer E-mails - August 2008

The month of August may have to be renamed "Matrix Month" here at AbbyShot, because we received a whole bunch of great pictures and reviews of our Matrix Coats out in the "real world". Let's hear what these Neo fans have to say!

First is Lucas from Ohio, USA who owns a Lobby Trench ordered from AbbyShot way back in 2002! As you can see, his trench still holds up today, SO many years later. Here's Lucas:

"The Lobby Trench is still holding up pretty well, I've attached one photo from about a year ago. The color is a little faded (note the color of the kasha lining is still pretty black compared to the outer twill) and it's received some small "bullet holes" over the years from wear, but it's still fantastic. Everywhere I go, I always get compliments on it and have dropped the Abbyshot name on several occasions. Thanks!"

This next picture comes from Asad, a fellow Canadian from Toronto, Ontario who has worn his Lobby Reloaded Wool Custom in some interesting situations:

"I got my coat, I am totally in love with it! Reactions are amusing and mostly positive, venturing out in public with it definitely causes heads to turn (although that is not the reason I got it, I just love the design). The latest reaction was a homeless person calling after me 'Mr. Anderson!' LOL"

Finally, we have a Matrix coat review from "down under" - this is David from Australia, talking about his new Lobby Trench from AbbyShot:

"Coat arrived yesterday in Australia!! The quality of the coat is awesome, I really like it, (and I'm especially fussy) :-) Seems to fit well too! Thanks for getting this to me on time, I really appreciate it. I'll be looking forward to testing it out over the weekend at the event I'm going to. Very nice work, I appreciate quality and attention to detail. Thanks again and thank those who actually made the coat for me!"

Big thanks to each of you for your e-mails! We love hearing from our customers, so please don't hesitate to e-mail us with your pictures and product reviews. You might be featured on the AbbyShot Blog next month!
