denim Shirts Denim Shirts: At the Saratoga World Fantasy last fall many attendees commented on the Calgary World Fantasy logo denim shirts some of us were wearing and asked if they would be available this year's convention. While that had not been the intention, there was sufficient interest to encourage us to process pre-orders of the shirts for those interested.

The shirts are long sleeve, based on a North American men’s size (XS - 4XL), and come in either black or blue. Womens sized are avaliable as well, but can only be ordered in Dark blue and light blue denim. Click "here" to see an image of a shirt.

The deadline for orders is September 1, 2008. Pre-ordered shirts will avaliable at registration for pick-up. All shirts must be pre-ordered. There will be no extra shirts available at the convention.

The price per shirt is $45 US. Payment must received prior to the September 1, 2008 deadline and can be sent by mail (check or credit card information) or via our on-line Paypal.*
