AbbyShot's Deckard Coat Blasts Onto YouTube!



With Halloween quickly approaching, it's time to start thinking about who you want to BE for that most awesome of nights. Why not become a Blade Runner?

As you can see from the video above, customer Donn Nottage did just that - creating an awesome Blade Runner costume with the help of RAC Props (for the awesome replica blaster) and of course, yours truly here at AbbyShot Clothiers (for the Blade Runner coat). You'll also recognize Donn as our current Deckard model on our Deckard Trench coat product page.

Here's an exclusive picture of Donn's full costume, just for the blog (click for the larger version).


Think you can do one better? Why not pick up the AbbyShot Deckard Trench coat for this Halloween and then e-mail us some pictures of your Blade Runner costume to show us what you can do! The best part is that our Deckard coat goes WAY beyond Halloween - this is a fully functional coat that you can wear for years to come.

If you do want to order an AbbyShot garment in time for Halloween (FRIDAY, October 31st), make sure you give us some advance notice:

Deadline for Pre-Halloween Delivery:
Order by October 3rd


Have a great time preparing for Halloween everyone! It's quite possibly the best day of the year :-)

Thanks to Donn Nottage for the great video!

Customer E-mails - September 2008

This is definitely one of the nicest e-mails we've ever received from a customer. Daniel (from beautiful Denmark) sent us great photos and a video (embedded at the bottom of this post), but what he wrote about his new Lobby Reloaded Wool Custom was just wonderful. Without further ado:

Dear AbbyShot team

Today, my Lobby Reloaded Wool Custom arrived! According to UPS, it was delivered at 13:51, local time, so when I got home from school an hour later, the package was there waiting for me. I was very thrilled, but I had to endure the wait for my father to come home half an hour later because I wanted him to see when I opened the package.

When I finally opened the package (which is not easy when your hands are shaking with anticipation!), I instantly felt the soft textures of the wool. I let it unfold before my eyes (literally and figuratively!) and I just stood there, astounded. It was exceptionally beautiful and I was amazed at how screen accurate it actually was. Pictures do this coat no justice at all!

As I unbuttoned the buttons (still with shaking hands, making it no easier than opening the box) and put it on, I felt how well it fit me. Everything from the sleeve length to the length of the coat was absolutely perfect, and somehow you had still managed to build in some growing room, making sure I can enjoy it for many years to come, if not for the rest of my life. I also particularly like the surprisingly deep pockets.

Though it is a heavy coat with thick materials, it is at the same time thin, light, and elegant – truly a mark of excellent and skilled craftsmanship. It sways gently behind me as I walk, billows beautifully around me as I turn, and generally makes me look and feel so good.

When everything is said about the coat, I also want to thank you for your fantastic customer service. You have answered every single one of my numerous and petty questions with the patience of saints and I see now that I never had a reason to doubt your expertise. The coat was made and sent on time, even literally making it half the way around the Earth from Canada to Denmark in 5 business days.

In conclusion I must say that the people at AbbyShot are deeply professional, service minded, and, well, damn fine people! You have to look long to find a business so focused on the customer and the quality of its products. If all businesses were like yours, the world would undoubtedly be a better place!

Best regards

Daniel, a very happy customer from Denmark
