Customer E-mails: April 2010 Edition

This month we bring you some cinematic photos from customers who took their AbbyShot garments out into the world for some new adventures (and have the pictures to prove it!).

First up we have Tim from the UK who you may recognize from the new model photo on the Foxhound Coat Group Buy that started last week!

These awesome shots were taken by photographer James Williams on the beach in Lulworth, Dorset as James recounted in an article about the Foxhound photos on his Too Many Chefs Blog.

Now let's hear what Tim has to say about his Foxhound Coat:

"I have been back and forth on the AbbyShot website for a few years after finding the original matrix coat. At the time I couldn't afford one. Things changed when I saw that they maybe making the Foxhound coat that has been worn by such people as Liquid Snake throughout Metal Gear Solid and also turned up at the end of MGS4.

On receiving my garment I was most pleased. The level of quality is higher than some of my tailored suits! It fits very well and is very comfortable, I always get a few comments when I am out and about in it.

Thanks to all the staff at AbbyShot for making some of the best clothing about, I could easily see myself ordering more things off them in the future."

Thanks for the great photos Tim and James! If you're a fellow MGS fan without a Foxhound Coat yet - be sure to check out our Foxhound Coat Group Buy before May 23rd!

Next we have Tal from the US who suited up in a full Motoko Kusanagi costume, topped off by the leather GIG Shrug of course! Here's the first e-mail we received from Tal about her shrug:

"Hey just wanted to drop a line and say my jacket arrived last night and it is absolutely gorgeous!!

I cannot wait to wear it with my costume!"

- Tal, USA

And not long afterwards, these awesome photos arrived, looking like they came off the set of a live-action Ghost in the Shell film!

Thanks so much to Tim and Tal for the amazing customer photos! We hope to see your photos here next month, so please don't forget to email them in to us: info[at]abbyshot.com!

GIG Shrug Makes Appearance on Red Carpet!

What an exciting time we have had these past several days at AbbyShot! Not only did we have a great time at our local SciFi on the Rock convention, but we also had some wonderful national exposure as Fashionista Jeanne Beker sported our GIG shrug on the red carpet at the Junos Sunday night!

Our very own Aimee was right there when Jeanne was sporting her shrug and when asked what she was wearing with it, she told Aimee she was wearing Armani! Just goes to show that AbbyShot apparel will go with just about any ensemble! Terry Rice, the photographer of this shot, heard Jeanne telling everyone how AbbyShot had made her shrug! Thanks for helping us to spread the word, Jeanne!

So, I bet you are all wondering how Jeanne managed to snag such a phenomenal product. Well, it happened in 2007 when Jeanne was visiting Newfoundland. There was a fashion show that Sheilagh Guy Murphy put off in Jeanne's honour. Well, the shrug was part of that show and she fell in love with it and Newfoundland designers in general...so much so that she returned to Newfoundland for the fundraising fashion show featuring local talent called "Fashion That Rocks".

Who wouldn't love the GIG with its fantastic stage presence and beautifully constructed, soft, supple lambskin? In any event, Jeanne has had her shrug ever since then, which only goes to prove that AbbyShot makes clothes that transcend time!
