I doubt they're cast-offs, they're being sold by "EMA Textiles Ltd". Maybe EMA supply the polos for the show, though? They're pretty nice polos tbh, so I can see why people would want to buy them - especially if they're in ... mint condition 8-)

They only have really small sizes. My guess is that the BETM company bought all the ones big enough to fit a Billy. They also have the "Stars Look Down" shirt.

Oh, right! '18 months - 2 years' old size shirts cannot be cast offs... unless they're hatching and raising baby Billies :-)

does anyone know if one can still buy them since the seller is "away until may 2013" but never returned? I'd love to get one or 2, doesn't matter if they're tiny.
