@StubbsUK 👆🤷‍♂️

I did a thing with the fine fellows at Do Not Scratch Your Eyes if you fancy a listen…

The sizing chart is the same for the 60’s ones (same manufacturer) & they were a “true fit” - by that I mean I ordered an XL 44” & the width of the shirt was 22” if that helps. So find a t shirt you are comfortable with, measure it & order the one closest to that size would be my tip 👍🏻

Clearly that’s what we’re hoping 👍

Understood…just to explain, it’s time-consuming and disproportionately expensive to get a sample made up & as this is aimed at raising money for a great cause (& the same supplier did a terrific job with the 60’s style shirts) we decided to offer it up & see who fancied one. It will be more like a modern-day shirt than the 60’s ones as the fabric is aiming to replicate that early 70’s switch to polyester. My original version of this shirt was the first “nylon” shirt I ever had but it didn’t have the number on as printing techniques weren’t as advanced back then. We will carry *some* stock on this one as we suspect folks might fancy one for a Christmas present but it helps us to help Tony if we can get a good number of pre-orders.

Hornet related commentary, predictions, speculation here please…

My maternal grandparents ran a grocers shop in Padiham. My grandad would give me a fresh tea cake, warm from the baker’s wooden delivery tray, together with a slab of Lancashire crumbly of such magnitude merely lifting it to my mouth would today be deemed as aerobic exercise, in order to keep me quiet. How that shop ever made a profit when I ate most of the cheese counter is a mystery…
