Default Wonderful news.

Yes would love to see the color of the khaki denim next to the green.

I think I can have pictures of a set of coveralls and measurements for a the khaki model for your tailor friend.

Default Denim Tank Suit

Original wartime and post-WWII denim tank suits used to be available to purchase in the UK in the 1980s.

I photographed my brother-in-law striking a wartime pose with mine in the late 1980s.

Default postage

I am sorry for taking time. Here are some basic postage figures to get the idea of delivery costs. The coverall weights 2,1kg. The post delivers parcels up to 30kg.

Postage for 1 coverall:
USA surface 461,-CZK = +/- 19USD DHL Service 50,40 USD
Canada surface 500CZK = +/-25,50 CND
UK surface 523CZK = +/-14,1GBP PPL service 29,50GBP
I can look up different weight rates shall you need to combine postage or want more pieces.

Economy parcel to USA 30kg = 117,80USD i.e for 14 coveralls

Nobody´s so far sent the sizes they want. The sooner we get the idea of the order size structure the sooner Daniel can optimise the first batch and deliver. Measure yourself up according to the diagram I put here to avoid different styles of measuring and pick your size. Only if your figure is odd and cannot find a suitable size contact me with measurements (these would take longer as it would require new patterns made)

Dusan one of my guys had a question about the measuring chart. Are the measurements listed on the chart the actual size of the suit or are they maximum measurements of the person ordering?

I also gave my guys till the end of next week for them to return their needed sizes. I will forward the list to you when I have it.

Thanks for helping us with this!

Eric, the sizes in the chart are actual sizes of the suit, taken from seams and ends. The best would be to take on a suit and compare the figures. Note these are in centimeters.

Duson,

Thanks for posting this. I will send measurements shortly.

With many tall people in Holland you should be able to sell large sizes here as the wartime clothing often is too small.

Regards
Hanno
