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.
