Default Repro Denim AFV Crew Suits and Repro Tan Pixies

Hi folks!

Looks like we have a winner! I just got in the third prototype and I am tickled to death.

I will take a series of side by side comparison pics tonight and post as a Face Book album, along with comments and post link here.

Now that there is something worth ordering, I will sort out the size chart. These also can be made to measure, so you tall or wide guys are in luck.

Stay tuned...

Done....heads-up in that you're advertising for the manufacturer where interested members may order directly? (Or for sale as in that you are offering them for sale yourself?)

Anyway, they look good - the MLU community and beyond must be thankful to you for sorting this out!

Cheers,
Hanno

Thanks for sorting the header!
I am not a sutler/businessman.

I am expecting people to send the order and payment directly to the maker. He may sit on that until he gets a minimum number - 40 - ordered. With DHL tracking and Paypal fund protection, I hope everyone will be cool with that. Plan B is to collect money from everyone and the orders, and then send Irfan a whopping money transfer.

So many orders would be in Europe that I want to see them go directly to the person, but might be a bit cheaper if someone in a club took delivery for their mates.

Likely I will get all the orders from my 15 Recce club.

Default Fantastic job Jim.......

Thanks for your time and patience.

A point of interest...... what size is the battle dress you are wearing compared to the size of the AFV suit you are wearing????

Waiting in the side lines for the ordering process.

Hi Bob!
I am wearing a Replica BD from WPG after outgrowing my original size 16s.

The jacket fits over my 44 chest and 38 waist ( but 44" belly)
BD trousers are for a 38" waist.

That help?

Jim

Default Thanks Jim....

........ so was your coverall AFV suit made to exact measurements you took and can we compare between your BD sizes and the AFV final size...?

any idea how the maker will ask for measurements ....normal size and he will scale up for the AFV suit or are we to supply measurements taken over jackets and pants????

Cheers

Bob C
