    it's been quite a while now, have you had any notification of when it will be dispatched. when you do get it could you maybe compare it to a very cool shirt:)

    arent shirts VeryCool only only they are made in Japan? cause shirts made in thailand and singapore may sell the same shirt with same code but different material which makes it not VeryCool..

    so even though a shirt is produced in the same place, is the same colours as another shirt but it is made from a different material depending on where it will be distributed:confused:

    Well they might make different shirts to appeal to different markets. People who live in less economically developed, or newly industrialising, countries may not want to pay do much for a badminton shirt. Whereas in a more economically developed country such as the UK people are willing to spend more on a shirt.

    It is the same reason that Yonex do not sell the shirts with bright patterns in Western countries. In Europe and America people tend to regard simple patterns as more appealing and sophisticated, whilst in Asia people like bright vibrant colours. If you asked most Europeans they would think the bright designs to be tacky. I think the only reason Europeans and Americans bring these shirts over from Asia is for the novelty factor, which wouldn't exist if the shirts were widely available.

    I've never bought a Yonex shirt but the I've seen Korean sites with shirts like the 1484 which described a shirt made of Coolmax so that isn't VeryCool even though the 1484 is listed as VeryCool on shuttlehouse.

    I ahve no idea...

    as far as I am aware they're reading their mail once a week....correspondation was very slow....

    so far I tried ordering the 1479-yellow...wich was eitehr out fo production or out of stock...they asked if I maybe wnated the 1479 in grey or blue...I repleid yes....they email the week after saying it's out of production....

    I guess I've tried ordering a shirt 5 times...the site states they've got it all...but I'm not to happy with them...bbesports replied daily...badmintonmaster replies in 4~5 days mostly, btw B-master probably has more shirts than he has listed on the site..just mail them...he replied he actually had a 1477....

    good luck!

    super fast reply by BBE, they are professional business guy, however, unfortunately they dont have my request. I requested 1484 (Red) and 1222 (White). Wait for B-master then.
