| December is Filled With Surprise! | 
Regardless
of where you live or what is that is going on around you, there are
certain times of the year which are filled with surprises. December, in
many cultures, is one of those times! We, at AbbyShot, wish you and
yours the merriest of Christmases, or holiday of your choosing! We hope
that each of you enjoys the spirit of the season and brings in the New
Year with a whoop and a holler! We promise, on our end, to extend those
times of surprise for you throughout the year in 2012!

 We
have retired our wonderful Vereen Jacket, but we couldn't let it go
without including this fantastic shot of Gerard wearing his jacket and
including his wonderful evaluation! "Right from the moment I opened the box, I could sense that familiar smell and I knew right away, there's no mistake this is real leather
indeed. I was impressed with the texture and the feel of the leather.
It looks rugged and has a "worn out" feel to it, and this is the way I
like it. Now, I'm well aware that you've mentioned on your website that genuine leather garments
will have naturally occurring, slight variations in markings, grain,
texture and dye color. I'm glad mine came out the way it is, and I
wouldn't have it any other way.
Now, I'm sure we're
both aware of the existence of other replica wolverine jackets out
there, but to me yours is the only one worthy of my money. For me, I
know when I'm placing my hard earned cash with you, I'm getting stellar
customer service, quality, and craftsmanship. It's the small details
that count, and I could tell that the person who worked on mine really
put his / her heart into it. It shows from the consistently neat and
evenly distanced stitching on every surface. Looks like it's made to
stand the test of time as well. I'd say it was very well worth the
price.
All in all, I am genuinely satisfied and if there was a 'Lexus' of screen-accurate clothing, you would be that 'Lexus'." We're so very glad you are so happy with your purchase, Gerard and we have passed along your comments! Thank you.
David said "Always happy to help out a great company like ya'll." when we asked him if we would be able to post a picture of him wearing his new Captain Jack Harkness Coat in our newsletter. "I
purchased the Jack coat as a cosplay/Halloween costume prop and
couldn't be happier with the final product that I received. Attached are
a couple of pictures of the mostly completed costume. Will definitely
be recommending AbbyShot to my friends and family for costume pieces." We are glad your costume worked out well for you, David! It certainly looks great on you! The best part is, you can wear this "costume" all year round and continue to feel as powerful as Captain Jack!

| AbbyShot Feature Focus: Dante Coat! |
 As with Julia's love of the Leather Enigma, Adam's love of our Kingdom Hoodie and Rita's love of our Tenth Doctor's Coat, Brenda, our Business Developer, has a favourite of her own. She is enamoured with Dante's coat! Brenda writes,"Wow!
Picking a favourite is like asking me to pick my favourite child! It
all depends on the time of day (parents might understand that)! I
can tell you, however, that I love the Dante Coat....all of them! The detailing on them is phenomenal!
The pleather is great for cosplay as it is lighter in weight,
especially the red pleather, and you can't beat leather for a timeless
coat! The nubuck on the black leather
coat is a fantastic option as is the textured red pleather. The duality
of the red leathers is great & the plain black pleather includes
detailing, but is more understated! Fraternal Quadruplets! I love them
all!" Which product do you love most?

| Gorilla: AbbyShot Ships to Japan! |  As
you already know, we love to work with our customers, whether they are
buying just one item or several. It has been a lot of fun working with Gorilla, a Flight & Riders Jacket company in Tokyo, Japan. We have worked with them to resize the Max Jacket so that it fits the Japanese population, as well as to develop a Goose Jacket and badge. They also sell the Max Badges and Gloves. "GORILLA
is a retailer of selected Leather jackets = Flight jackets &
Motorcycle jackets, and other tough apparel and gear in Tokyo, Japan. We have original brand appareal "Gorillian Gorillas" and "MFP".
We carry all of apparel and gear available for domestic and overseas sale to customers. You can purchase all of apparel and gear easily and safely by using PayPal payment." We
have thoroughly enjoyed working with the staff at Gorilla so that their
customers can enjoy the power behind the wonderful jackets!

Cool Gadgets: ZionEyes & Zippo Handwarmers!
|
 "The latest and coolest device to enter the market this week is ZionEyes, a pair of embedded-camera
eyeglasses, called Eyez. This device contains a small camera situated
to the left of pretty much normal-looking eyeglass lenses, along with
support for Bluetooth and WiFi module, which is embedded in the ear piece located just next to it."
Okay, so really, these would be pretty dang cool to own! Imagine all
the fun you could have with these, not only during the holidays, but all
year long! Thanks for the great find, Adam! 
Another item which came highly recommended as a useful gadget is the Zippo Handwarmer! Brayden told us he kept one in the pocket of his Silent Bob's Coat! Cool idea (or is that really a hot idea?)!
