Well, I have been all over the UK and I have several thoughts on what AbbyShot should create next. I thought that by planting a few seeds here I could get them to give the various coats some thought. (This particular seed is a bit of a riddle, so that should drive them right around the bend!) That will make it seem as if it was all their idea. Of course some of these coats have become popular choices from some of the postings I have seen, so that is a good thing. The more people who submit suggestions, the better the chance a design has of being replicated the AbbyShot way! So, perhaps we can work together. I spent a bit longer in the UK than I had intended, but I do have some wonderful ideas from here. I am off to the continent now to continue with my investigation. If you think of something you would like me to bring forward to those at AbbyShot HQ, please let me know via my email address. I can't always get to a computer when I would like. 

If you have any ideas you would like to see me investigate, please be sure to share your thoughts by jumping on the waiting list, or by sending me your thoughts here on the Blog, on Twitter or on the AbbyShot Facebook Page.  

Yours,

Eon

Take a Pill!

Inspired by Kaneda, the leader of the "Capsule Gang", our red leather rebel jacket is a crowd pleaser from way back! Unfortunately, like Akira himself, all good things must come to an end. And so, with some regret, we are only taking orders for this jacket until December 31, 2011. After that we will be retiring this design in order to bring you new products to complete your wardrobe! 


If you are a lover of all things anime, this classic Pill Jacket is worth owning! Not only does it have one of the most recognizable symbols for anime on the back, but it is also a beautifully crafted design created with attention to detail and high quality workmanship. The leather used is soft and pliable. The coat's design is roomy and its snapped cuffs and collar, as well as elastic at the waist, keep out the elements! This is not just a cosplay jacket, but is also a leather jacket to be able to be worn for years to come!


If the Pill Jacket is to be a gift, please allow 4-6 weeks for delivery, and during the busy holiday season you may want to allot for a bit of a buffer. This jacket is available as part of our Abby-Layaway Plan as well. 

The Wednesday Uplink: The Case of the Extra Stripe--Solved

After exhaustive research in and out of various museums around the United Kingdom, and help from various AbbyShot fans, I believe we have solved the riddle of the fourth stripe. I would like to thank Robert Marks for his confirmation on the fact that the difference between three stripes and four stripes on the epaulettes simply comes down to a matter of rank. In the Royal Air Force if a person had three stripes on his epaulettes he had the designation of Wing Commander. Four stripes on the epaulettes denoted the ranking of Captain. After studying the scripts surrounding the change I have concluded that the costume department realized the error and simply quietly corrected this when Captain Jack Harkness was reintroduced into the story.

My sleuthing in the United Kingdom is drawing to a close. I have some exciting final destinations to check out and, with the  help of many AbbyShot fans I have a few potential products to plant at Headquarters. If you have suggestions on where else my travels may take me, please be sure to contact me through email, or by sending me your thoughts here on the Blog, on Twitter or on the AbbyShot Facebook Page. Until then, happy sleuthing!

Yours,

Eon

The Doctor and The Captain...Their Story

We haven't yet seen interaction between the Eleventh Doctor and Captain Jack as of yet, and we are all dying to do that. We think it would be very cool if people wanted to create their own stories.  You could make it about when they first connect (reconnect, depending upon how you look at it), or about a particular adventure they are on.

You can write a play or a make a comic strip. You can act in your own movie, wearing officially licensed clothing, if you like ;) Write a short story or write an epic poem.  Whatever your choice. We'll make a compilation of items then and whoever contributes will get a copy of them.

So, if you have ever wanted to write your own Doctor Who episode, now is your chance!!

Sett stones found by the Tower of London

I apologize for missing last week's posting, but my travels have taken me to some extraordinary places (more on that in another post) where I have been delving into many mysteries. Unfortunately the places I visited did not have access to the "outside" world.
However, this week I have been covering the cobblestones in the United Kingdom. I am currently in London and will be making my way northwest. I am in an internet cafe and see that AbbyShot has not yet cracked the case of the fourth stripe on the Captain Jack Harkness Coat. So, I am off to solve the riddle! But before I go I will be checking out more design ideas along the cobblestones of London of olde! After that my travels will take me under water...

Remember, if you would like to get hold of me, that I am available at my email address. If you want to stir things up at AbbyShot, then please feel free to post to me here or as per usual on the Blog, on Twitter or on the AbbyShot Facebook Page. I'd love to see where you send me next!

Yours,

Eon

AbbyShot Says Thank You to Our Fans

Yes, the rumours are true! We have finally released the Eleventh Doctor's Jacket and Bow Tie! After working for months with the BBC, fine tuning every aspect of the design (and teasing you about it almost every step of the way), we have created a replica of the Eleventh Doctor's Jacket. The BBC has also officially licensed this version of the jacket, along with our burgundy bow tie (just one of the many the Doctor wears).  For a limited time you are able to purchase an Eleventh Doctor's Jacket and you will receive a FREE Eleventh Doctor's Bow Tie as well!  

So thank you, Doctor Who fans.  And thank you, AbbyShot fans for being the best in all of fandom. You allow us to love our jobs by being who you are and allowing us to create quality garments, all the while having fun doing it. What other job allows you to watch Doctor Who as part of your routine!
