Update -
We have the minimum order number reached. Irfan bought enough material to make 50+/- suits. I know the actual paid orders are somewhere between 40-50, so if you haven't ordered, best to at least send in the form to hold one.

Any suits leftover will be made as a size 6 and size 7 and I will flog them on ebay. Those will go for what the market brings, but no less than what the original price was.

Next project is the Denim AFV Crewsuits!

Same as with the Pixies... the costs are set by Irfan and I am just a buyer like everyone else.

But full disclosure - I have three other projects planned with Irfan that I hope to make money on. For those, I will not pin like the "group project" but have a go at being a sutler.

Projects are the fiber Bren ammo boxes and the 6-pocket bags that go inside. ( for the Mk2 Carriers) and the tool roll for the BESA MG.

Hopefully I won't flounder with the project!

Thanks to all of you that have supported the Pixie suit project, and I hope you stay with me on the denim AFV Crew suit!

I'm passing on the Pixie suit, but most certainly will be buying at least one Denim Crewsuit. Please keep us posted and we'll spread the word here and elsewhere.

Thanks,
Hanno

Bump -
Reminder that time to get an order in is runninf out. End of March to get an order in, then he starts cutting fabric.

Denim - I have to order 1,000 yards to get the mill to weave the right stuff. I should be getting a couple of yards as samples end of April.

Will send swatches to whomever sends me a return envelope and stamp.

Just spoken to Irfan myself as I feared the goal posts had been moved.
Now quoting middle of April for the suits.

Needed to get around 50 suits ordered to do the production run, so from what I read and talked to Jim about it had to be moved a little to the right so more orders could come in, but I assume it is on the move now, maybe Jim can kick in when he gets up today..
