    Can I have an OMG? I would venture a guess that a 17-35/36 would be in the right range since I’m about an inch shorter and used to wear 16-34 until I got too fat to wear a tie without going to a 17+. The concept of an homage reminds me of the time I had my sunglasses with me at an inside show and popped them on as he was doing the Roy Orbison tribute in [Circus On The Moon – “In dreams… I walk with you”]

    OMG! :)

    This is a great idea. Please put my name in the “completed shirt” group. If I tried to use a pattern,my shirt would end up looking like Theo Huxtable’s (The Cosby Show) home made shirt. 😆

    Thanks Highway 61 & MVF for an interesting topic.

    Update



    Nothing yet. Si PMd me earlier saying that he would be talking to Bruce soon :mrgreen: and would find out particulars for me then. I feel so special! 😳

    You know, I think that my “relationship” with Bruce borders right on that line between “Hey, MVF, it’s good to see you again” and “Oh my God, call security!!, She’s back !!! 😆

    I will keep ya’ll updated. Now that I’m back among the living, you will be getting tired of hearing from me so much!!!!,

    Paraphrasing a response from Bruce’s wife:

    She buys his shirts, all similar, yet most get returned as he’s very choosy. She actually has no idea about his sleeve length and neck width because he hasn’t bought a dress shirt in several decades (that she knows of).

    For that reason she’s suggested that she wouldn’t want anyone to go to the effort of making something that he probably wouldn’t need.

    Sorry!

    You guys are SO lucky


    I just spent over 30 minutes composing an indepth post, and then, poof!, it disappeared into space. 😮 Well, I ain’t gonna type it all again, so here is the condensed version 😆

    Dang, dang, dang!!! 😥 😥

    I still want to look into this project, even if Bruce won’t wear one of our ole shirts. I’m going to the craft and fabric store tomorrow to research materials needed for a shirt. I would really like to get some feedback from y’all about this. I know from the Hampton Bay Days T-shirt debacle that it is best to leave the Bruce merchandising to the professionals (Bryann, did you ever get rid of all those shirts, or are you still giving them out to Trick-or-Treaters?). But that doesn’t mean a few of us die-hard ( or just plain crazy 8-) ) fans can’t have a little fun. I’m not making a commitment that these shirts will happen, but I’d like to try. Would anybody else be interested? This would not be a commitment on your part, either. I just want to see if this idea is feasible. ;)

    I understand Bruce’s choosiness. He really needs something that is custom tailored. Getting in the way of that, however, is Bruce’s aversion to pretentiousness. But he shouldn’t expect to have such a unique and singular, yet extremely eclectic, taste in music and not to have that same approach to clothing. Music made for the masses, clothing off the rack: Neither is going to appeal to Bruce.

    But, you know…

    …and I bet we could get him to wear a custom made shirt if it had a small Oregon Ducks “O” on one of the cuffs or on the front of the shirt where the front pocket would be (I see a custom stage shirt as having no pockets).

    I might be mistaken, but I thought that his son, Russell, was on the track team at Oregon. (In New Orleans, during the JazzFest performance, Bruce points to someone in the audience and says, “And I like your hat: “Go, Ducks.”

    You are correct, Highway_61.

    MVF you could also do the Asheville Bulldog like I did for Abigail… ;)
