Speaking of holidays: the AbbyShot team will be taking our Christmas Vacation from December 25th to January 3rd, getting back to regular working hours on January 4th, 2010.
We'll still be reviewing orders and checking emails and phone messages throughout the next week, so if you have an urgent question or request we'll certainly get back to you as soon as possible!
We hope you take a nice break this holiday season as well - it's time for family, friends, food, and most of all - fun!

Customer E-mails - December 2009 Edition
Here at AbbyShot it’s not just the winter winds that are blowing us away, it's also the amazing customer emails we receive. We said it before, and we'll say it again: OUR CUSTOMERS ROCK!
Our first customer email is from a true Mad Max fan AND AbbyShot fan. Here's what Curtis had to say about his Mad Max gear:
Did you ever just want to hug a jacket?
When I first saw “Mad Max” in 1980, I was blown away. I’d never been a car guy but MM made me at least appreciate the beauty of a muscle car. (I was always a bike guy and MM was a delicious smorgasbord.) But what I really fell in love with was the MFP uniform. Highway cops in black leather? That was one of the most inspired costuming choices I’d ever seen in a movie.
As you know, we’ve had to wait forever (OK, almost 30 years) to have accurate replica clothing available. And yeah, I’m 44 years old now, but dammit—I deserve to have my MFP uniform! Word on the Mad Max Movies forum was that the AbbyShot jacket was not only the most accurate replica available, but also a nice jacket for everyday wear.
I was scheduled to attend the Road Warrior Weekend Event 2009 and wanted to “represent” with the other MFP
officers, so I dutifully saved my allowance and ordered a jacket.
..when it arrived, it was like Christmas. I slowly opened the box, took out the jacket, and put it on. It’s a good thing my wife was at work, because I actually cackled with glee. The fit and finish are excellent. The leather is smooth and supple, requiring no break-in, and gives off that pleasing aroma.

This next customer almost sounds like an AbbyShot employee: he overlooked no detail when reviewing his new Jenova Trench!
I put the coat on, looked at myself on the mirror, and wow .. the length of the overall coat, the shoulder measurement, the length of the arm, the waist, the collar .. it fits like a glove.
I tried to put my hands inside the outside pockets as well, and the location of these pockets couldn't be more perfect. The outside pockets are discreetly integrated too. And then there's that nice smell ...
Looks like the wizards of Abbyshot have done it again this time,
and I think you guys should be listed as one of our national treasures. I'd like to thank all crew members for making this custom order of mine happened, and I wish you all best of luck in 2010 and years to come.
Cheers,
Gerald,

AbbyShot Before Christmas!
'Twas many nights before Christmas, and all through AbbyShot,
ALL the "creatures" were stirring, as our shipping list was... a lot!
The Kingdom Hoodies were laid out on the shelving with care.
Hoodie customers: Your future hoodie just might be there!
Erin nestles those hoodies all snug in bags for shipping,
Then our UPS man skips through the door (well, not quite "skipping"!)
Meanwhile brave Mark is outside shoveling the snow,
And his new Kingdom Hoodie blocks out cold winds that blow!
Back inside the shop Rita moves boxes all around,
New coats shipping everywhere (from cities to towns).
Enigmas, Jenovas, GIG Shrugs, and even Mad Max Jackets,
If you want it for Christmas, Amy and our shipping team will pack it!
And we can't forget Mal's Browncoat from the 'verse of Serenity.
Here's a sneak peek at the hangtag - one word describes it: SHINY!
We'll end this poem now (we're at work for a reason!),
But first: "Merry Christmas to all and to all a great season!"
