Default Repro Denim AFV Crew Suits and Repro Tan Pixies

Hi folks,
Starting a new thread on the coverall project.

Here is a link for my FB photo album showing the difference between my original Pixie and the prototype sent to me by Irfan in Pakistan.

Hopefully you can launch it from here.

The denim sample is in one pic that shows a piece run through the washer and dryer by me, laid next to the raw sample, laid over an original NOS item of wartime Green Denim

In the pics, the original is always on the left in the image, with the test sample on the right. OG-L for original, TG-R for Test Garment on the right side.

The sample is too brown for me to accept, but at least it shows the weaving and weight Irfan can get. He is going to a mill this week to take my sample of original fabric to be woven for me. I will have to buy some 200 yards. That will make up about 40 tank suits.

Stay tuned.

Appreciate any comments, suggestions or concerns.
