I think this is a splendid idea. I have to ask someone who has kids
where one goes to get uniform shirts made. I myself have a Yankees
blouse from a play I did (yes, Paul!) where I played a Yankee
catcher. I kind of cherish it, as a memento from the days of the
S.S. Kungsholm, but it's not durable and it lacks the Comanche
panache.

Time to find one of those moldy old places that make baseball gear to
order.... Surely they cannot all have gone out of business ( ... the
way hat-blockers have in NYC. It's true. You can't get a good hat
blocked any more. It became too unprofitable. Those who are
interested in hopeless trades and professions are hereby referred to
the pages of "Julius Knipl, Real Estate Photographer," a strip
collected in book form about times gone by in a nameless city that
has a more-than-passing resemblance to NY in its better days, which
were probably in the 1940s and early 50s.).

Suggestions for shirt vendors very welcome here.
