Shimano Australia has some really cool looking shirts, hats, beanies, etc.

Is their a reason that Shimano US carries almost nothing as far as clothing? I would be willing to do some free advertising for Shimano but I have been unable to find anywhere on the web that is selling the Shimano Australia clothing. Help?

how about some CORE tourney shirts like these Steez ones?

Those look like shimano bike shirts.

Australia has odd import/export laws. We will not bring in their products due to these laws.

We are looking into the clothing market and I really hope we at least offer a T-Shirt.

I feel your pain and I am on the accessory team more than you realize. We have several requests and I am not sure if/when we will have shirts.

Along with my Shimano reel collection I have a fishing shirt such as pictured on those hook setting, fish fighting, bent back models you used to use in the early 1980s, and a nice sweatshirt that you also offered 15-20 years ago. Shimano American Corp. has been in the clothing business before.

I also have a Bantam cooler that I can use to carry my beer, if I really want to look like a reel old geezer.

Yes we did offer clothing. At some point before I started we left the clothing behind. Maybe sales related? I'm not sure but I will find out when I get back into the office.

get them from Japan although they are not the same as the Australian ones. They are a pretty penny though.

The sizing in Japan is different than here. Double check before you order anything. An XL over there is similar to a M or L.

I loved the old simple white T's with the blue shimano log0s they use to offer through the Shimano Club. (no longer in op). The last 2 I purchased were $10 bucks each.
