Proof is in the actual sample.
My source just told me he has a cloth mill that will make up a roll of denim to be an exact match for the sample I sent him.
In the past, that has been the problem as a mill in China 5 years ago would do it for a 1,000 meter minimum. This new source said they would do a 300, maybe a 200 yard/meter order to our specs.
I will be sent fabric samples and cost by DHL courier end of next week, along with a prototype made from wrong fabric to test construction and fit.
Not to rain on Dustan's parade, but if we can nail the right fabric, I may be able to get Jerry Lee to buy a larger roll to make up the working jacket and pants out of the right fabric for a change. Might make our tank suits cheaper.
So far, he is talking in the US 120$ range for the unlined AFV Crew Suit.
Will keep you all posted.
