Squall Jacket Release Coming VERY Soon!
Squall Jacket coming VERY soon!Our highly-anticipated Final Fantasy inspired leather jacket, as worn by Squall Leonhart himself, is ALMOST ready for a full release! Due to some unforeseen delays we were forced to push back the release, but now our model and our photoshoot are all lined up for next week and we couldn't be more excited! Don't forget, we've also got a "secret" accessory to go along with this jacket that fans have probably guessed already. The retail price of this full leather jacket is $229.00 USD and we'll be sending out a press release very soon to let you know when you'll be able to buy one for yourself!
Candy One and AbbyShot Set to Take Over Tokyo!
AbbyShot's Elric Coat in TokyoIt's been two months since AbbyShot Clothiers ventured to the Tokyo Anime Fair, and we're so happy to report that great news continues to roll in from this amazing trip! As you saw in our April newsletter, AbbyShot has begun a partnership in Tokyo with the cosplay retailer Candy One, and they are working very hard to bring our beautiful AbbyShot garments to Japanese fans! They will be selling both through their website AND their shop in the busy district of Nakano. Please check out their excellent AbbyShot Coming Soon Page (in Japanese) and soon you'll be able to order from their Japanese site!

Our AbbyShot Blog has been packed full of anime goodness this past month as well, with an epic four-part report on AbbyShot at the Tokyo Anime Fair! Don't worry, there are LOTS of cool pictures (like the awesome Japanese Elric to the right) in there for those who prefer to skim through! You'll notice as well from our most recent Japan-related post that we now have a video up on YouTube from Tokyo. Yes, it's a video of our AbbyShot Booth at the Tokyo Anime Fair, making it easier than ever to imagine you were there with us!
Show Your AbbyShot Love on YouTube!
As you've seen from our Japan video in the previous article, AbbyShot has now entered the wonderful world of YouTube! We'll certainly be using our own newfound video editing skills much more in the future (especially when showing off a cool new product!) but what we really need on YouTube should be obvious: YOU!

AbbyShot needs your videos!

Show us a cool shot of your AbbyShot coat in motion, give us your honest opinion with a video testimonial, or just have fun with an AbbyShot product (like these guys did when a Kingdom Hoodie starred in their fake movie trailer called Maiden of Death). It's all up to you! If we like your video (and I'm sure we will) you'll instantly be among friends on our "Favorites List" under our own AbbyShot YouTube account. Be a part of the AbbyShot YouTube Community today!
Doug's Australian Mad Max Tour!
Doug in AustraliaOne of our customers had an opportunity to travel to Australia and meet up with a bunch of Mad Max fans to go on a road tour of various Mad Max film locations.  Of course, he wore his AbbyShot Mad Max jacket everywhere he went!  He sent us a quick writeup of his trip and included some photos he took while there.  Check them out on our blog!  Mad Max jacket tours Australia filming locations

Some of you may have noticed that we are getting low on sizes of this design.  The popularity of the Mad Max Jacket is obvious to us!  We are going to be restocking our inventory soon (just in time for Summer!), so if you've been wanting one and we haven't had your size, just send us your chest measurement and you will be put on a special Mad Max Jacket update list!  When the new stock is available, you'll be notified right away!
Featured Site: Filmjackets.com
A new site has hit the internet, Filmjackets.com bills itself as a one-stop source for fans who want to quickly find the film jacket(s) they've been searching for.  They list jackets by source and for each film or TV jacket, they list companies that make this design.  They try to list the original creators of different film jackets, especially if they are selling that design to the public.  They also list companies like AbbyShot though who are selling replicas of various film jackets.  Check out their listing.

Despite being extremely new, filmjackets.com already has a fair amount of info about different film jackets.  They even have a community forum for fans to discuss things about jackets or the site.  We're still exploring what the site has to offer, but already it looks like it's going to grow into a very good online resource for fans.
This newsletter is a short one, however there are still opportunities for you to get involved.  You can send us videos, (or post them to your own YouTube account and send us the link), you can comment on several of our blog posts, and you can check out a new fan site for movie jackets.  Our next newsletter is already being planned and we can't wait for the news it will contain to become a reality!  A lot of things that people have been anxiously awaiting will finally be revealed!  Stay tuned to see what's new at AbbyShot!

Sincerely,

The AbbyShot Team,
