Heads Up: Denim Tank Suit news

[Jim Burrill]

Here are pics of Irfan's suit I took today. https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?...1&l=7017d79e2d


I will try posting the link you all can use to see the album.

First pic is of the colors I have for his denim, original 50s denim, and a very washed and an unwashed Das Adler denim.

I find our production of the denim slightly olive compared to the 50s fabric which has been washed quite a bit. While it is different to the eye, I think it is still in keeping with wartime production. I had an original 44 dated denim jacket that was more olive/brown than the 50s stuff I also had at the time.

I would say it is good to go.

The two size labels are both from Das Adler's repros, but shown as datapoints. Irfan is currently working on a size chart that I haven't yet seen.

WIll post as soon as we have that finalized.

The attached document should have the size and order details.

Jim is doing a shrink test with a finished garment but this is what Irfan posted back in answer to the question: "It will not more shrink because I already washed all denim before making suits".

I've ordered but will refrain from anything but cold water washing and air drying until we hear real world results on hot water affecting them. Unless I end up needing it smaller but won't know that for a few more months I guess.

Have to hand it to him, his quality is rather good, and a competitive price no less !

So when is he doing a good repro Dennison smock Jim ?

Just wondering if anyone else was thinking of getting a pair from down under?

[Jordan Baker]

Jim. Anymore on your wash test?

I'd like to order a couple to have for this upcoming season but want to make sure the sizing is all down
