No problem, it's my pleasure!Laohu wrote:Thank you vhul for taking the time to post here . I am sure I will enjoy the shirt looking forward to getting warm weather around here so I can enjoy itvhui wrote:Glad to hear that the shirt arrived safely!Laohu wrote:My shirt arrived today ! Was a day later then to USPS said it would be . Arrived in a white priority mail envolope that I am sure you all have seen before . Inside the envelope the shirt was in a clear plastic bag . The first thing I noticed after removing the shirt from the bag was how much thinner the silk was then my Tommy Bahama shirts. Putting the shirt on I found it to be a little large but not so large as to send it back . I ordered up a size I find that sometimes shirts like this run small but I think that the Avanti shirts are going to run closer to size then some other brands . So if you are ordering I would just order the size you normally ware . Looking at myself in the mirror I could not even see the pocket on the shirt it was a perfect match . The plams matched up pretty good at the buttons . The red was a nice color not as bright as I thought it would be .
Most of Avanti's shirts are made of 100% Crepe de Chine silk. The silk used on the shirts are made of reeled (filament) silk, which is of the highest quality of all silk. The most commonly-used silk is spun silk, basically the waste from reeling process or cocoons that were not reelable.
Many associate heavy weight or feel with quality, when in most cases, it is quite the opposite. Momme weight describes the weight of 100 yards of silk, 45 inches wide, in pounds. If a fabric is listed with a momme weight of 8mm, it means that 100 yards of the fabric weighs 8 pounds. Our silk is 16mm (momme), which is pretty much the highest momme weight that is used on clothing before it gets heavy enough for bedding. Don't let the "thinness" fool you!

The promo video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AUzWemcYmgg) for episode 15, "Day the Past Came Back" just came out and, wow...I probably spent several hours total over the last two days trying to find this shirt, when I accidentally stumbled upon the maker's website when an unrelated shirt caught my eye in Google Images.
(side note: the website SpoilerTV had the video up before CBS, but the CBS version has had the narration re-recorded with a deeper voice!)

Now, I decided to peruse this company's other shirts when I happily ran across another unidentified shirt that had been bugging me for days as well--this one from the episode "Day of the Viper" :

Re: Where to find new red shirt?
The last two shirts are not the traditional cut of Aloha shirts. Look more like what I've heard referred to as a "camp shirt." Whatever that is

Oh, look. Minimag with a scowl on his face. But this time his exposed skin is soooo shiny.

Oh, please, can you reboot haters limit your vial to just some threads.
It gets a bit annoying seeing you trolling up EVERY topic and spill your hate there.
Thank you!

Re: Where to find new red shirt?
This thread is about the shirts and not about your opinionated „observations“
And argueying in that manner makes you even more look like a troll.

Re: Where to find new red shirt?
Great job finding them Keiko . I guess they are going to keep you busy finding shirts . They seem to being doing new ones for each episode . Hope no one is trying to collect them all going to cost a small fortune

People gotta chill.


Knocking my rubber chicken or my sloppy habits is within the rules, but you're attacking my character. I would like to think you don't mean that.

Bondtoys, I don't think it's worth your while. "Don't feed the troll," etc., etc. He doesn't watch the reboot and his "observations" are clearly meant to provoke.Bondtoys.de wrote:This thread is about the shirts and not about your opinionated „observations“

FYI, I have watched many episodes and I keep asking myself if they will get any better.sandbiscuits wrote:Bondtoys, I don't think it's worth your while.

Anyway, the promo pics from episode 16 are out (well, they look like screen caps instead of true promo pics) and you can see another Avanti shirt (Hula Moon) and a shirt from Pacific Legend:

And because one of my hobbies is identifying clothing from TV shows and movies, I'm working on a list of all the other clothing and accessories Magnum wears in the new series. Maybe I should make a separate thread for that later.
I received my blue Habiscus shirt by Pacific legend . I ordered from a company called Aloha outlet .it arrived a day earlier than they said it would arrive . Sizing I think might run Just a little small but not much . I dont think I will know for sure until the shirt is washed . This shirt has a nice look to it but it is not silk “ the price reflects that “and the cotton is a little stiff and needs to be worn to be broken in . I am happy with the way Aloha outlet handled the order first they do not charge for shipping .Second if you need to exchange they will pay for shipping for the return. They also inclose a post card that says Mahalo with the order to let you know they appreciate your business .
