Denim AFV crew suit order info
Hi folks - I call this a "heads-up" instead of "for sale" because I wanted to let you know that while I have seen the photo of the denim fabric, I have not yet seen Irfan's prototype suit yet.
The information in the order form is the prices and shipping. While I am good with ordering my own from him at this point, waiting to see the final version may be a good idea. Those of you that are happy with your Pixies may be confdent he will deliver a great denim suit. I would suggest that if you place your order, tell him to wait until we have accepted his prototype before building yours. Actually, the plan is for them to build a pile of set sizes and just pull a suit to fill an order. Anyway, That is what I am advising Irfan to do. Collect orders but wait to make until I have QA'd the sample suit first. Might make a nice Christmas present if you want to just get the order placed. I welcome any suggestions from the group on a way to improve this project. Thanks!!!

Good point. I would order to the high side of size. Denim - being all cotton - will shrink a bit. I don't know how this fabric will react, but in general it should fit quite loosely.
But to be safe, wash in cold water and air dry.

I have been asked about a khaki version of this AFV Crew suit.
I am a bit perplexed.... I don't have an original so I don't know what the difference is. (aside from color) If it is also denim, I have to say with the 3,000 meter minimum order we had to put into the mill, not likely to happen. If it was some kind of khaki cotton twill, it could be possible but I need to borrow/buy an original from someone. Jerry Lee of WPG was selling a khaki coverall (not the mechanics' coverall) but it seemed it was ex Indian Army? Anyone have better info? One to sell?

I am expecting one to QA in a week or two.
I recommend that people just get prepped to make an order with out sending money until we have proof that it is right.
