... 'cause I got my Leica t-shirt in the mail yesterday! Slashed the sleeves off and now I'm the bad-ass photog I always wanted to be.

They're available on eBay, if the rest of you want to join the cool club.
 
Sadly not: just white script on black. But my Ms don't have the dot, either.
 
Well, I love the idea of a shirt with the leica red dot, so i might make one :cool: (if i do, I'll post a picture of it.) But then I still need a Leica, to complete the cool look.

I've changed my mind, I'm going to make a fed-2 shirt, that's way cooler (and i avoid the possible copyright problems). On the Front it will say fed-2 in cyrillic, but I'l have to come up with a good te'xt for the back. If someone has an idea, just post it.

And many thanx to mercifull to have a camera-shirt.

You mean after you've slashed the sleeves? Are they in user condition? Any haze or cleaning scratches?
 
Sorry, no retro-used ones, only new. I used the sleeves to polish my cherry-red Doc Martens last night.

Ohhh, will it be 100% yak hair, or a 50/50 blend?
 
Wayne, that slogan is just perfect!!! :)

Langdon, If I they have T-shirts of Yak-hair, I'll use those (but don't they have those in every sore? :p )

Now, if someone can help me with enlarging this logo approx 20 times:
 
I don't mean to be a party-pooper, but FED are the initials of Felix Edmondovich Dzerzhinsky. He was the founder of the CHEKA, the Soviet secret police, more recently known as the KGB. Now, having a FED camera is by no means an endorsement of the brutal enforcement arm of the Soviet state. But putting those initials on a T-shirt might be taken the wrong way by anyone who knows Soviet history, or whose family suffered because of it.

That would make the "From Russia With Love" rather interesting, eh?

You are completly right, but I don't see a problem using the initials of Iron Felix on a shirt, but I think nobody (except maybe some weird rangefinder-fan (those are very rare in Belgium)) will make the link to Felix E. Dzerzhinsky. And a lot of people wear shirts from Nike or adidas or... and those companies are also the cause of a lot of problems nowadays.

And I don't think you're a party-pooper, a discussion is always good amusement IMHO.

Yes indeed, some ironical humor for all the FSU-camera-fans of the world :D

I've just had another idea for the back of the shirt: "Rangefinder-users of the world unite!" (This one isn't as good as "from russia with love")

Joris,

Actually, to be really cool, you have to put black gaffer's tape on the red dot on your shirt ;-)

That way, the ladies can tell you are a pro :D
