Shirts

Get your piece of nostalgia! Many people missed out last year by not ordering their top in advance. So secure yours now by sending Shona an email (shona@supremetradingcompany.com) with your size requirements and quantity by the 25th September. Please note that only a few surplus tops will be available for sale at the festival, since it is a limited edition type item.

You do not need to pay when you order, but if you do you can save yourself some money! Both mens and ladies tops will be £22 at the festival (pre-ordered or not), or £20 if you pay by the 30th September. Advance Payment is accepted by paypal (to the same email above) or by UK Cheque. Please make cheques out to "Pinstripe and Polkadot" and post to 16a Goldolphin Road, London, W12 8JE. Please do not post cash.

Design Features
The photos below show the style and colour of this years designs. Of course, both the shirts and wrap top will have embroidered logos, on the ladies right and the mens left pocket (so no nipple rub!). The logo matches the contrast colour. The fabric content is cotton with a small lycra content, so that it will stretch a little when you dance. They will machine wash and need a warm iron. Ladies, your wrap top is from an original pattern and has been tried and tested for dancing. It sits on the waist and the ruffled sleeve is loose so it allows you to lift your arms without showing your belly!

       
       

Mens Size Selection
Although the shirt has a bit of give in it, it is still not as stretchy as a t.shirt. If in any doubt, please get out a tape measure and measure one of your favourite shirts across the chest (just under the armpits, with the buttons done up) and compare with the size chart below. If you tend to go out a bit around the middle, or if you like your shirts very baggy, please take this into account. The shirts are straight down, so you might decide you need a larger size based on your belly measurement!

Ladies Size Selection
Being a wrap top with a wee bit of stretch means that you can get it fitting just how you like it. If you are a lucky girl with extra in your front balboa bumps you might feel more comfortable with a larger size (and therefore more cleavage coverage) or with a vest top underneath. Because it is a wrap top, please pay more attention to your bust size than waist size in the charts below.

The size guide below will help you select your size. A bit stuck? flick shona an email for help.
