Default It died on the vine.......

Numbers were collected and measurements for size submitted BUT nothing more was heard.

Still seems to be some interested buyers out there but finding a reliable source for both the fabrication and the material seems to be problematic......

Personally I would take 2 or 3 if the prices seemed fair......

I remember the experience of Stew Loy with having some cargo covers done for the C / F15a and the issue was to get enough buyers put some deposit forward to cover the cost of buying/importing the minimum raw material...... and we were talking only one size.....with the coverall we are faced with various sizes... short and tall..... European versus NA sizes....

Then you need someone who can do or has access to professional seamstresses which are a dying breed today..... then shipping becomes an issue unless done bulk from Europe to NA or Australia.

What Price Glory, a USA based, uniform reproducers has some very light fabric coverall but more suitable to tropical climate than NA and European motor pools.

Any wild ideas welcomed.
