The girlfriend is searching for a Lotus Baby T (?) fitted T-shirt. I reckon "Baby T" is the name of a particular style of shirt. Is there anyone that makes Lotus apparel? Thanks in advance!

Finding baby gear that's customized is a nightmare.

Since the baby will outgrow it in months anyways, do what I did...for a friend, I simply printed iron-on tranfers on my puter printer and ironed them onto white or cream colored baby clothes. You can do a good job.

For something more upscale, check out an embroidery shop and have them do the logo onto a plain baby T.

I think "Baby T" actually refers to those type of tight fitting T-shirts that show Mid-drift (in the Britney Spears sort of way) and would accentuate the letters L and S if the word Lotus where printed on the front...

(You can tell me if I explained that in a relatively non sexist way, Kylie...)

Either way, finding suitable Lotus garb is difficult. Sometimes it is easier to just look for the "Team Lotus" stuff from prior F1 days. Interesting note that a lot of "Team Lotus" stuff is Hilfiger due to sponsorship - good quality!

Yip you hit the nail on the head there Ernest Shows the assets off nicely

Do you have "ESPRIT" branded clothes over there? Your girlfriend might know? We have a semi up market chain clothing label for girls, guys and now some baby clothes. I know the Australians have it. Well you could get this labelled garment and get it embrioded at the local shop something personalised to your car. It already has esprit on it so you can design something around it.

I have a black "baby-T" with gold embriodery saying "1989 Lotus Esprit Turbo" and underneath the Lotus logo. It really looks good and knowbody else has one. Am planning on getting a jacket done as well.
Ya might even see a pic of me in it one day

Among other things, I have a clothing factory as well.

If there's enough interest, I can make whatever clothing items people want (baby t's, t's, jumpers, caps, etc) with Lotus logo's, slogans, you name it.

Who knows, might be a new business venture
