Squall Jacket Release a Success!
AbbyShot's Squall JacketFinal Fantasy fans wanted the most accurate Squall Jacket ever made, so AbbyShot delivered! You'll think Squall Leonhart himself was at our photo shoot when you see the amazing pictures of this new leather jacket!

Don't forget that the special release price of $229 USD is quickly ending.  There are only three weeks left before July 5th when the Squall Jacket goes up to the regular price of $249 USD.  If you want to take advantage of this special offer, then your time is limited.  Place your Squall Jacket order today!
Squall Makes a Splash on Fansites Worldwide!
So the amazing, mind-blowing, "better than you've ever imagined" Squall Jacket has hit fan news sites across the net! While it seems that web writers have a love / hate relationship with the character of Squall from Final Fantasy VIII, everyone agrees that AbbyShot has made the best replica of his jacket ever seen online!

First the news hit video game site SiliconEra.com, followed quickly by the excellent site Kotaku.com. There was even a French site called InpactVirtuel.com that got in on the action! Of course, we can't forget that our Squall press release was also published on the Anime News Network.

It has certainly been one of our best releases with lots of interesting press coverage. Thanks so much to those sites and to our new readers who came to see the Squall Jacket!
Manufactured Right Here Exhibition
AbbyShot sewing a coat at the Made Right Here ExhibitionAs readers of our blog already know, AbbyShot was a huge hit at a local Trade Show called "Manufactured Right Here". We took the show's name VERY literally and actually brought a sewing machine along to make a few coats right there on the spot! The whole exhibition was designed to showcase industries in Newfoundland, Canada, but AbbyShot was clearly the star as you can see from this article in our local paper "The Telegram". AbbyShot's high quality takes people's breath away at shows like this, and we were very happy to meet many local fans! Check out our original Blog Post for more on this great event!
 
AbbyShot's YouTube Birthday Contest
It's time to take AbbyShot's YouTube community into high gear for our upcoming birthday celebrations! AbbyShot will be turning FIVE years old on July 18th, 2007! Feel free to start bombarding us with birthday gifts and well wishes. Just kidding - we'd rather give a birthday gift to YOU!

Show some love to AbbyShot on YouTube before July 18th and you could win 100 US bucks worth of everyone's favourite currency: AbbyCash Gift Certificates!  Just make a video and mention AbbyShot.com in there SOMEWHERE, SOMEHOW. If you're a previous customer, you can include your awesome AbbyShot coat in your very own starring role. You don't have to be a customer though, just as long as AbbyShot.com is mentioned somewhere!

Our only restriction is: keep it clean! No profanity or nudity please. We'd like to show some videos to our grannies at our birthday party, we don't want to cause any heart attacks. Just have fun with it! The deadline for submitting your video is July 18th (our birthday!), just upload it to YouTube and e-mail us the link at info@abbyshot.com. We'll pick the coolest, most creative video and announce the lucky winner of $100 US dollars of AbbyCash in our August Newsletter! Good luck!
Suggestions Box
Two suggested designs for JuneMovie and Anime fans send us great ideas every day! You never know when a suggestion will become the next AbbyShot product. Let us know what you think of these recent ideas.

Doctor Who
There have been many different versions of the Doctor Who character over the years, each one lending their own style to the character's appearance, personality and dress. The latest is no exception.  Here is a picture of his tan coloured trench. Would you be interested? Let us know!

My Chemical Romance
This band's lead singer Gerard Way wears an interesting jacket with a lot of flair. We received a suggestion from a visitor and they were convinced that fans and non-fans alike would want to own it. What do you think?
Black Is Back For Jet And Rocketeer
There's only one thing that would make the Rocketeer and Jet Jackets even cooler: black leather!  Motorcycle season is upon us and nothing would look better on your back than a black aviator-style jacket from AbbyShot.  You've been begging us to bring black leather back to our Jet and Rocketeer jackets, so here it is!

Warning! Legalese begins now: This custom option is available by request only. Please note that a black version becomes a custom order and is therefore not eligible for the set size exchange policy. Email us at info@abbyshot.com to request this custom option for your next Jet or Rocketeer Jacket.

One of our customers let slip that he was the new lead singer for the heavy metal band Overlorde.  So of course, we just had to promote his band!  We're told that the tracks online right now are featuring their previous singer and that future tracks will feature our friend, the awesome new lead singer.  Either way, if you're a fan of old school heavy metal, these guys know their stuff!  Check them out!
That's it for our June 2007 Newsletter.  The biggest news of course is the success of the Squall release.  In case the other news items made it slip your mind, don't forget that our special release price expires July 5th.  If you want in on that sweet deal, then get moving on the Squall Jacket!
 
Sincerely,
