Lozenge t-shirt

[Jimmy]

Does anyone know of an online site that sells t-shirts with a lozenge pattern printed on them?  I've done a bit of searching and have not been able to find any. 

[Thumbs up]

There is a good business idea there!

Great idea, but there will always be someone who will say "The colours are wrong!"

Zazzle has some lozenge items, and they would probably do a t-shirt.

Zappos used to have some really cool high top tennis shoes in a lozenge pattern.

I thought of that a few years ago but haven't seen any for sale . let us know.I also though a silk tie with silk screened upper 5 color would be great. A tiny black cross in the center would be even nicer

Gotta have that lozenge necktie!  The colors actually look pretty good.

Cheers,

Thanks for the link - cool stuff! But I would wear my Tarnstoff shirt only together with some PC-10 pants!

When I envisioned the 5 color upper tie I thought larger scale with bigger swatches of color. That looks like 1/48 scale lol

They do have some nice propeller t-shirts.

Hey, maybe I just solved the question, what to get dad for father's day.

They have a cool looking Sopwith shirt as well.

hmmm,
yes, the Sopwith Shirt looks cool, but if somebody would wear something like this here in Germany...

..., people, very probabely including me, would take this person for a right wing extremist and would avoid him or her. Might be different in other countries, might be possible to wear such things just for fun, aesthetical reasons, the vintage look, but here it would be taken for quite a bad taste.

Borsos,

Sad to hear that, sort of like the same "political correctness" the prevents WWII aircraft in your country to have the swastikas shown in the museums and on kits.  You might be able to wear the WWI stuff INSIDE at a model show without too much of an adverse reaction, after all  modelers strive for accuracy in building our little historical replicas.

Hi Ed,
oh dear, the old swastika question, many of my fellow modellers here are annoyed that they mustn't show their Bf 109s or so with swastikas in public. It's a highly proplematic issue here. I for myself do not want to get political here, but I don't want to avoid this issue neither because I started it somehow.
I think, it could be a solution to tell a short story from my past. I was quite early fascinated by military modelling, looked at every war photo I could find and spend my pocket money for Airfix, Matchbox or Revell tanks and planes and painted them with any colors I had on hand. And of course I added these swastikas because I had seen them in the history books from my fathers book shelf. I was ten or so years old, of course I could read, I just didn't want to read that boring adult's stuff in these books, I only wanted to see the photos and build my models like these pictures looked.
My father didn't like my hobby very much but when he saw my little Messerschmitts and Stukas with swastikas, He didn't show me or grumbled. One Saturday he took me in his car and we went down to Dachau, which was about 150 km away from where we lived. He visited the former Concentration Camp and its museum there with me. "The men with the swastikas did this. And therefore I don't want any swatikas in our home", was one of the few sentences he talked when we were there. I can say that this was the most impressive, the most shocking history lession I ever had in my life. As a son, of course, I didn't always agree with my father, but in this very point I did and do it still today. I didn't stop modelling, but I never ever painted a swastika on my models.

WW1 modelling doesn't have these problems for luck (yes I know, there were many planes with personal swastika markings, on both sides of the front as a good luck symbol. But I don't want to build them because for me it never can become anything else but the symbol of the monsters that did what I saw in Dachau when I was a child). But I wouldn't wear these "Deutsches Reich 1914" shirts neither. I am quite happy with our modern democracy and that old Willie is gone forever...
Kind regards
Borsos

Need a 'like' button for your comment Borsos. I agree with your sentiments. Respect!

There was a company here in Kentucky producing lozenge fabric for full size repro a/c, and they also sold t-shirts, but sadly they went belly up a few years ago.   I had some friends get shirts from them, but I missed out.
