I've spent most of my time on this blog looking for new Napoleon designs, but recently the time came for me to return to an old favourite. This t-shirt was the first Napoleon shirt I ever bought, and was the inspiration for this site. It's made by founditemclothing.com, which operates out of Portland, Oregon, and mainly sells replicas of t-shirts that have been featured in either TV shows, movies or music videos. The company came into existence when its founder couldn't find an "I Love Toxic Waste" t-shirt, as seen in the movie Real Genius, and promptly had one designed specially for him.So after ordering several new Napoleon t-shirts, I decided the time had come to replace my original t-shirt (or at least buy an identical shirt to hang alongside it in my wardrobe), and back in November, I placed my order (same system, sames price: $21.95, though the international shipping cost had risen from $3.95 in 2006 to $10.95 in 2009). Sure enough, after less than two weeks, the new shirt arrived, and was everything I had hoped it'd be - the same as the last one! No changes, just a much newer, richer blue American Apparel t-shirt, with a pristine white "Napoleon" emblazoned on the front.
Now the only question that remains is whether or not to expand my search to include t-shirts about other great historical figures, starting with this Found Item beauty:
This one's also based on a shirt worn by Murdock from The A-Team, and it looks pretty good, though it's currently out of stock. Handily, Found Item provide a link to their Spreadshirt Shop, where you can create your own Alexander shirt using their design, though if I'm going to do that I might just tailor myself a new scorching red Napoleon shirt instead...
Total cost: $21.95 + $10.95 for international posting = $31.95
Delivery time: Less than 14 days, from USA to Europe.
Verdict: Just as perfect as it was in 2006.
