You guys must know what I am talking about. Yesterday I saw "The Return Of Luther Gillis" on Sleuth and in that episode (as well a SEVERAL others) he wears a kind of purple colored Rugby shirt with a white collar and a pocket on the stomach for your hands just like on a "hoodie" sweatshirt. Has anybody ever seen these for sale anywhere or even bothered looking? I would LOVE to buy one of these and it obviously doesn't NEED to be purple. Just that style is really pretty cool!

I think it's burgundy/wine coloured isn't it? Haven't seen it anywhere from memory as it's probably not something I was looking for. I'm going to keep an eye out from now on.

He had a pink one with white collar and button area (don't know what that's called) as well. I've never seen them anywhere either.

Well, Lets all team up and find some of these. I will make you all a deal, the first person to find one of these and email me the link to purchase them I will purchase one for you as well and have it shipped directly to you. My email is bthomas8@excite.com. I am deadly serious, find me the shirt and I will not only purchase one for me, but for you as well.

I am also working on something special for all of you on here with another board member. You will all know what I am talking about soon enough, and you will all be extremely thrilled. Team up to find me this shirt and keep your eyes open for an announcement!

Not purple and maybe not exactly what you're talking about (as I don't remember the shirt from that episode), but here's a striped rugby shirt that has that front "kangaroo" pocket:

Very good, the only thing is that I am looking for one that is a solid color or one color for body and sleeves and maybe white for just the collar. I should have been more specific, I don't want a whole bunch of logos on it and #'s on the back.... just plain jane like TM's. Thanks guys

There's heaps of places that sell rugby shirts but I'm having a tough time finding the damn kangaroo pocket on them.

Here is a couple of places selling the basic shirt. I'll keep looking though.

You know it's kind of funny, I Google searched Magnum P.I. rugby shirt and this page was the first result. Unfortunately, I am having the same dilemma, though I assume all others previously having posted here have given up; something I feel I will be inclined to do some days from now.

I had a red one in high school. Even if I still had it the shirt wouldn't fit anymore.

Found a few possibilities:

Hooded, with pockets and a small Cross of Lorraine in the top left corner:

or perhaps these from their site directly:

Hooded with pockets and different colours, but has image of the cast on front:

From a brief look though, I'd say your best bet of finding a similar sweatshirt would be on sites that stock US Football clothing/gear since that's what it was. Especially since you don't necessarily want any 'Magnum' fanfare on the shirt itself. Shouldn't be too hard you'd think...

I know right, but as far as "magnum fashion goes, it's very difficult to find accurate versions of what they wore, seeing as how it was so long ago. A real shame too, because some of that stuff is still relevant.

Can someone post a screen cap of the shirt? I'm having trouble picturing it in my mind.

That's a long sleeve polo he's wearing.

Hard to see... does that have the so-called kangaroo pocket? If so, I've never seen one like it before. If not, it's a pretty common shirt.

Pretty sure it's got that two handed pocket in the front. I haven't seen one for sale at any local retailers so I don't know how popular it is.
