Happy World Outlander Day!

On June 1st of each year, millions of fans celebrate and honor Herself, Diana Gabaldon and the Outlander Universe she created.  This year, AbbyShot (a Canadian clothing company featured on the Outlander Inspired Merchandise Around The Web page), has done something special to mark the occasion.  

It’s important to know that they were approached by Sony directly and asked to create replicas as well as inspired pieces from the show. They aligned themselves with the very mill in Scotland who created the registered tartans for the show and now their products are in 17 castles and heritage shops across Scotland alone (not to mention retail outlets in the US, Canada, Germany, Switzerland & soon to be New Zealand).

And lucky for us, they are diehard Outlander fans!

OMG I think I’m in lurv:

An historically accurate design from the18th-century that is fully lined with corded buttonholes & seams for extra strength and durability. This coat has its own history in itself and was once worn by Laird Brian Fraser! It is a fully skirted, genuine distressed leather coat with 40 Antiqued brass buttons that would draw admiration from any bystander.

Returning to Lallybroch just became a whole lot easier! AbbyShot is also releasing pre-orders at the same time, on their Jamie Fraser’s Leather Belt which is best worn with their Handmade Jamie Fraser’s Leather Sporran.

I attended the world premiere screening of Outlander last night in San Diego, CA (at SDCC) and I just want to reassure anyone who might still be worrit about Sam being a convincing Jamie- dinna fash!

Even though I trusted Ron Moore & his production team, there was, yes, still a teeny-tiny part of me that wasn’t sure if I’d be able to reconcile Sam with the Jamie I held in my mind’s eye, when I read the books.

Well.

From the very first second “Jamie” appeared in the episode, I was sold. As in DONE. A goner. I wasn’t watching Sam Heughan on screen, I was seeing Jamie. MY Jamie.

And it wasn’t about nitpicking physical features—Sam just embodied Jamie. Or maybe channeled is a better word…

Have nae doot, you willna be disappointed.
