Last-moment-Halloween-costume-filter: where can I buy (today) a Superman t-shirt in Cambridge, MA?

Putting a Halloween costume at the last moment, and in dire need of a Superman t-shirt (standard blue shirt with the Superman logo in the middle). On the very off chance that there is some Cambridge local that is familiar with the stores in this area - is there any place I can get this today?

Best answer: Million Year Picnic? New England Comics? They both carry t-shirts, although you probably should call first, unless it's really easy for you to get to Harvard Square. Alternately, Newbury Comics maybe has something of that ilk?

The Garment District, maybe? though they may be sold out of a lot of things at this point. BUT I think they also can make t-shirts for you onsite.

Another option might be Hootenanny's in Harvard Square? (perhaps call ahead)

Superman's shirt had long sleeves, remember. Given red and yellow fabric (buy three cheap shirts), scissors and some thread... you could probably hack one in a couple hours.

Also, Hallowe'en was yesterday. :)

Definitely call Newbury Comics. I was in the one in Fresh Pond yesterday and they had a good deal of stuff... around 6pm.

Response by poster: Found it at one of the comic book stores in the square. Thanks, all!
