A quick note:

Titan has recently raised their prices AGAIN on all items & according to the company website: Stock sizes are taking 6-8 weeks to ship and custom orders are taking 8-10 weeks.

My items are in stock NOW and if you buy them they will be shipped either the same day you pay (if you pay before 3 PM E.S.T) or the next business day by Priority mail with delivery confirmation AND a tracking #! On average, you will have your item in 2-4 days.

Please note: The buyer is responsible for choosing the correct size. I will not accept returns or exchanges anymore due to the time and hassle involved so make SURE you pick the right size. Info on how to measure correctly is listed below.

I called Titan today to confirm how much these shirts cost new. A 2-Ply Custom Katana costs $291.00 which includes the Custom (Lowered) Scooped Neck plus another 50 for the Grid Stitching on the Chest & Arms and then of course Shipping and Handling! It's slightly south of 375 bux total! Yeah, this is a SERIOUS Bench shirt!

I haven't had a huge amount of 2-Ply Katana's in stock (since they are so expensive) but I've had more than a few. This is the ONLY Straight Sleeve version I have ever had so it's a rare shirt indeed! Every other one has been the A/S versions!

2-Ply Titan Katana S/S (Straight Sleeve) Bench Press shirt Size 50 Black with Custom Grid Stitched Chest Plate & Sleeves in "Lightly Used" condition.

Some minor spray paint mist is noted for complete accuracy. I guess the original owner was painting something and paint mist got on the shirt. No biggie but worth a mention. (See pic #3.)

Custom 2-Ply Katana S/S (Straight Sleeve) Bench Shirt

$291.00

Quick Overview

Designed for Flat Back benchers the Katana S/S Custom 2-Ply features our improved IPF approved Collar design, though it's 2- Ply power makes it for unlimited competition only. It's wider, heavier, and cut lower for greatly improved performance. The new lower cut neck reduces likelihood of the shirt riding up and putting pressure on the neck while the increased width and thickness of the Collar acts as an energy band to create more resistance and store more energy. These two simple changes produce a huge improvement in performance. Rounding out the Katana is our patent pending torque sleeve design combined with our new NXG Super Plus material. This new material is 26% thicker and stronger than the older NXG+ material. The result is double-ply super power for an unlimited world. The Katana will take your benches to new heights!

"The real deal" : The Titan Katana Bench Shirt is a stock single-ply Titan Katana with a scooped and reinforced neckline. Adding a scoop neck to a shirt or reinforcing the neck are common alterations to make to shirts, especially in multi-ply feds where a 2 ply shirt becomes 4 ply at the neck.

It is far less common to make these alterations in single ply because a scoop neck is mimicking jacking the shirt down, and “reinforcing” the neckline would make the shirt 2 ply at the neckline…but… despite this Titan has not only done this for you with the Titan Katana Bench Shirt but it is also legal in single ply feds. Most lifters who have had a Titan Katana love their 2 ply Katana because it is essentially giving you twice the strength of a regular Titan Katana, which is the sleeves, and adding a knarly chest plate to it.

If you know how to use a Titan Katana already then a Titan 2 ply Katana is the next logical step…if however you have a hard time getting the Titan Katana to work then the Titan 2 ply Katana will only compound your frustration. Most elite level single ply athletes use a Titan 2 ply Katana now because it offers maximum stopping power and rebound in a single ply shirt.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A great deal for someone who wants one of these shirts to add pounds to your bench press. Titan 2 Ply Katana S/S Bench shirts can add 100-250 pounds to your Bench Press depending on how good you are at using one. Using a 2-Ply will most likely add well over 200 pounds to your bench press once you master it.

Buy it Now at a very reasonable $300.00.

New Customized 2-Ply Katana shirts used to cost $291.00 from Titan plus an additional 50 bux for the Grid stitching on the Chest & sleeves PLUS $32.41 Shipping for a grand total of $373.41 so this should be a very good deal for those that want a shirt but don't want to pay full retail price and have to wait 2 months!
