WPG Indy Shirt review

[COWBOY]

Anyone tried a What Price Indy shirt?

[pitfallharry]

I haven't but if they're the same ones I'm thinking of I've heard nothing but bad things about the way these shirts fit.

[indianadirk]

You shouldnt comment on this unless you own one Harry;) I think its not helpfull for Cowboy to just tell him what you've heard

[pitfallharry]

A lot of people comment on what they don't own, Dirk......Just because I don't own one doesn't mean I can't comment on something.

A short search of the "other site" on these shirts would show that a lot of people that do own them say they "balloon out" at the bottom and that's even when they've bought them a size smaller than they usually wear.

[COWBOY]

So, would it fit him better-




Or me?




Maybe both of us ;D ;D ;D

[Ragingblues]

I have never owned one either, but have seen many on people and heard there cries of "way too big" once they got it. I would NOT recommend getting one of these shirts at all. Unless you are prepared to gain ALOT of weight, it will never fit you properly.

If you don't want to buy the actual Indy shirt, the Noel Howard, because of price..... I would wait on Marc's new Adventurebilt Indy shirt (or whatever it will be called). I'm not sure how long it will be until they are shipping, but they beat the Wested shirt hands down. That used to be the second best option, but will now be slipping to the 3rd spot with Marc's new offering.

In fact, if Marc is successful in getting that last of his tiny details worked into the design, the only thing different from his shirt and the Noel Howard will be the price.

Thanks Ken, I figured as much.......To be continued.

What's the big deal with passing on second hand information about a product, as long as you clearly state it as such?

I've heard from MANY different folks that the fit of the WPG shirt tends to be VERY baggy (same goes for the Todd's shirt, as I believe they are the same) though I will also say the I haven't ever owned one.

Grimace would probably be much happier with the WPG shirt, from what I've heard, though. ;D

[pitfallharry]

Yeah, I'm actually thinking about picking up a WPG shirt because I'm going camping and I need a tent! ;D

Actually, the only bad thing I've heard about the shirts is the fit. As far as the quality and the construction go I've never heard anything bad...

I'm seriously looking into getting one of Marc's shirts. It looks really good. Yes, me the KING of the "close-enough" shirts is actually thinking about picking a SA shirt up.

Has Marc settled on a regular price for those yet?

[GCR]

I've got one of Marc's shirts ordered, but I'm not sure what I paid for it, to be honest...

I do know it was less than what I paid for my MBA shirt...almost 10 years ago. ;D

I want to say it was around 70 bucks or so. Marc has the most recent price listed in his AB Shirt thread, if you're curious.

The WPG shirt is all kinds of huge, and the fabric is slightly less comfortable that cheap hotel sheets.

I bought one a little small thinking it would solve the fit problem. It didn't. Here I am wearing a WPG shirt OVER my Wested. Yes, the body is THAT big, and because it's the proportions that are screwy you couldn't even try to shrink it to size. It's as if WPG put a size medium collar and sleeves on a XXXL body. It's THAT out of proportion.



So take it from someone that owned one, it is a waste of money.

[COWBOY]

Whoa Nelly! Thanks. That settles that!

[Ragingblues]

WinstonWolf..... that's hilarious and depressing at the same time! ;D ;D

I'm sorry to hear that you spent money for a shirt and wound up with a tent. But, seeing you wear that thing OVER a leather jacket is really funny as well. You were even able to button the first button under the collar one!

Oh well..... this should seal the deal for anyone considering once of those shirts..... ever. Thanks for sharing!

Ken

[winstonwolf359]

But what's really funny, is I can't button the top collar button at all, and can barely button the sleeve buttons. Like I said, I got one that was smaller than I needed 'cause I heard they ran a little big. ;D

[Ragingblues]

Yikes.... makes you wonder who they modeled these sizes after anyway.

Ken

[pitfallharry]

So how much do those shirts run anyway? I thought maybe I'd pick one up because it might be cheaper than spending money on a tent! ;D
