At the Front Jump Suits

Gentlemen
Over the years the unit has somewhat standardized the source for our jump suits. Most members have purchased them from this source. In the past we have had a choice of either the more expensive US made ones or the imported ones. Both were of high quality. By purchasing from the same place we achieve a uniformity within the unit. Some units buy from multiple sources and it shows. I would like to see us continue this trend and stay away from the garbage that is out there. Not to say a source like WWII Impressions is garbage, they just look different. The Chinese and Honk Kong crap out there is just not worth it. Oh, it's easier to make a decision on which to get from At the Front. They discontinued the US made ones. Anybody get one of there new line of imported ones yet? Let us know.

I have just recently recieved a mailer from ATF featuring the newly contracted jumpsuits with a claim that follows: These are our best made, best materials and best fitting yet". As I am wearing mine out I will be looking into a replacement and anticipate an improved jumpsuit. Sarge,

Mine too. My 42's have maybe one more season left in them... And then I will retire them as a spare for new guys interested in joining.

I can't believe you wasted a post stating that tex.
You KNOW it is a pre-requisite that you have to be able to sew to get into the 505th...
