For Sale: Repro winter AFV Crew Coveralls aka "Pixie or Zoot Suit"

[tankbarrell]

I finally have taken delivery of my suit, it having been sent to a different part of the country...... Fortunately to a friend so I collected at Beltring. As others have observed, the original sizes are not the same, I have an original size 6 which fits perfectly but Irfans size 6 is a little smaller but not enough to be a problem, especially if not used as an oversuit in the strictest sense.

However, a mate ordered a size 4 as his original size 3 is too tight in the body and the new size 4 is a very close match to his size 3 and therefore too small for him. Does anybody wish to buy it? It is a close match to an original 3 which is 5'7 to 5'8 tall, 36"-38" chest, 32"-34" waist and 31" leg. These sizes are over clothes so will fit a larger size.

He is asking what he paid, it is in the UK and available now.

Irfan is finishing off the last couple of re-dos for people that had mistakes in their custom orders.

I have your new interior straps. Send me your postal and I will get them off to you.

Had several cases of suits going to the wrong person.

We had one where irfan shipped three suits to Europe and was told only one was in the box. Box weighed 10 KG. But only one suit.....

Some others have been well made but wrong sizes. A bit of swapping around and I now have a couple of suits to sell....

What a headache!!!!

But, the denim sample is supposed to be in from the mill this week. Irfan will send me pics of it with my original samples in the pic to compare.

If this is correct, then we have to buy a roll of 2,000 meters/yards to get any.

But the plan is that WPG will buy the bulk of it.

When we confirm that the fabric is the right stuff, then we will publish new size charts and go from there.

Hi, guys from my group got their pixies in the mid of July. Nicely made, also the perfect fit. Very good quality.
Only one minus point is that they were delivered 3 months later than promised, so if anyone is going to order some, please count with this.
Thank you for your effort, Jim!

My friend still has his suit available to anyone who needs one, see post at the top of this page.

The suits are excellent but the option of sizing from the original military sizes is a misnomer, they are not made to the same sizes at all. You need to measure yourself and buy a bespoke suit or buy one at least one size larger than an original.

I suspect the sizes on the label have been followed, forgetting that it is meant to be an oversuit.
