    The LTHForum Bowling Shirt-- starting at $29.95!*
    Kids' shirts just $24.95!

    Declare your allegiance to fine dining! Show the world you got class you ain't even used yet! Recognize fellow LTHers at 10, 20, maybe even 50 yards!

    The LTHForum Bowling Shirt features an authentically retro variation on our carhop-era argyle-diamonds logo, plus our mascot, The Wienie King, whose very personage sums up our site's split personality-- a natural-casing hot dog with a sophisticated French mustache!

    You'd expect to pay a million, a zillion, maybe even a kajillion dollars for a shirt like this in comfortable poly-cotton blend. But thanks to the technology of our friends at BowlingShirt.com/Cruisin' USA, you can have a fabulous shirt like this starting at $29.95! Or pay a little more and even get your name printed opposite the logo. (And while you're at their site, check out some of the other fun and cool stuff they have. As worn by Charlie Sheen and other midlevel celebrities!)

    Kids' sizes now available online too. The LTHForum Bowling Shirt is available now, in adult sizes from Small to 6XL and in kids' medium and large. Just click the link below to go directly to an ordering page.

    Click here to order now!

    * Sorry, I didn't realize when I first posted this that there is an understandable increase in price for sizes 3XL to 6XL, as some of you have probably already noticed. (It's another two bucks for each X over 2XL.) Still, such a deal for such lovely poly/cotton!

    Here's a closeup of the design (jaggy edges on the Wienie King will be smooth on your printed shirt):

    And when you get yours, why not post a picture in this thread? We'd love to see it!

    Cool shirt, but who died and made the Wienie King the mascot? Not that there is anything wrong with that.

    Fabulous! And two of these fabulous shirts are now on order, personalized for myself and Mrs. JimInLoganSquare. How well do mustard stains come out of the fabric? :P

    Uh... you didn't get the memo about the Wienie King?

    I dunno, it just needed more than three diamonds, but less than L-T-H-F-O-R-U-M. So the Wienie King was born!

    It comes in enough black for people who overwhelmingly wear black, yes. I checked.

    Glad to see they understand that some of us need larger than mere human standards... I ordered one in 3X but I'm hoping it's long enough for my 200cm height.

    And about it not being black enough? The white is important, for every mole, BBQ, manchamantela, EVOO, chili, pesto, foie gras etc. stain is a badge of courage!

    HI,

    Is this a limited time offer? I assume not, so I can buy one now and get a replacement in the future? I just wanna make sure I don't kick myself for ordering just one.

    I can't wait for the next LTHforum function with a fairly large representation wearing their bowling shirts. If we confounded people before who inquired how we all know each other and learned it was from the internet. Now we show up in our Mr. Wienie bowling shirts and they'll wonder if they happened upon a new cult.

    I'm ordering at least one, which I will wear with pride!

    Thank you!

    Regards,
    Cathy2

    They're made to order so in theory the offer runs forever. However, one never knows; if $29.95 buys you peace of mind, then buy two!

    Kids' medium and large are now available through the website, too. Also note the clarification above for sizes 3XL and up.

    I feel I personally am not cool enough for this shirt (no James Dean I, even if I were the right gender) but my kids are, so I will order one for each of them. Does LTH profit in some way by these sales? I hope so!

    Hmm... I ordered a 3X before that went up... the sale went through at $29.95, and I haven't heard anything from them that it's different. I guess I got lucky.

    "Little" Three Happiness -- i.e., G Wiv's favorite Chicago restaurant. LTH is our namesake because it is representative of the "little" incidents of dining happiness we encounter when we work a little harder or travel a little farther to find them.

    Cool, thanks.

    For a moment I thought this
    may be the restaurant that we
    were taken to on a fieldtrip about
    25 years ago when I was in elementary
    school. But, sadly, when Googled
    for pictures, it was not the place
    I recall.

    A couple of sizes were apparently out of stock until next week, so it depends on what you ordered. One of my four was out till then, too.

    Got mine today in the US mail.
    A 3X is just about right -- a little longer in the torso would be better, but overall it fits nicely.

    For those worried about the non-blackness, the entire back is black.
    There's a small bowling-pin applique on the left sleeve, and it's a nice light weight for today's sweltering heat.

    Bowling shirts arrived just after summer buzz cuts were obtained...

    Maybe we'll all wear them on the Indianapolathon, and thus blend in with all the other residents of Indiana, who will be wearing the matching outfits of the gospel singing groups they belong to.
