WENT TO THIER LAUREL STORE IN KEARNY NEW JERSEY A FEW YEARS AGO AND THEY WERE NOT THERE .. THERE HAS NOT BEEN ANY ADS FOR THEM IN ANY OF THE FIRE CIRCLES.AND WITH THE COPY WRITING OF FDNY, ALOT OF COMPANIES THAT MADE UP FDNY STUFF HAVE BEEN FORCED TO STOP USING THOSE MAGIC LETTERS. THE ONLY AUTHORIZED STORE IS THE FIRE ZONE ON 34 W 51ST IN MANHATTEN . GO TO WWW.FDNYFIREZONE.ORG. I HAVE SEVERAL BUFFS FROM NJ CHECKING INTO CLEMCO ,WILL GET BACK

I checked with clemco GTI, they are still in business however they no longer do any shirts with any of the rigs on them. Do any of you guys have any other ideas?.

CLEMCO IS NOT DOING THOSE GREAT SHIRTS ANYMORE, IF YOU HAVE NO LUCK AT FIRE ZONE TRY THE ENGINE AND LADDER COMPANY ITSELF, THEY ARE THE ONLY ONES THAT CAN DO THE TEES USING THOSE MAGIC LETTERS F.D.N.Y.

Rich is right, try the units themselves. Often they will order extra and may or may not be willing to sell them to the public.
As for ASIWear, we do not sell any of the shirts that we make. All the shirts are sold to the respective deparments and they sell them as they see fit. I know because I work for them. F**Y has really been cracking down on the use of those letters. Several of the companies in the city have stopped using them on their own shirts due to backlash.

Well i finally just e-mailed the fire factory directly. I thaught that they may have some shirts available or maybe they can point me in the right direction.

Todd,
Most likely that is the reason. I was speaking to Tommy from Clemco at the W. Paterson show. He stated that they are even giving people a hard time whose shirts state NYFD.
If you don't have a license from F**Y, to use or sell, they will be going after you. They investigated us, and since we were not selling directly to the public, they had no issue with us.
