For Sale: Repro winter AFV Crew Coveralls aka "Pixie or Zoot Suit"

[Jordan Baker]

I've sent the screen grab onto Irfan himself.

That is iffy.... It does look like a hat he makes. His primary product is hats of all countries, so it could be. I didn't get one, but I probably would have opened it.

But I am also suspicious of just about any "link" that I wasn't expecting to get.

Let's see what he responds to.

I don't think anyone these days is offended if someone asks if a message is legitimate.

I've not had that message but then I've not had anything back from Irfan after his 'thanks for payment' email of the 27th of February. I've not been chasing him, it's only been a few weeks but he hasn't answered my recent (10 days ago) request for an update.

Previous emails were answered promptly. How have others found a time frame from payment to delivery?

Spoke to him two days ago, he had his FB account hacked, he has a new account now under Irfan Ali Gondal.

I just had a FB Messenger chat with Irfan.

He and his brother are the ones sewing the tank suits. He has his shop worked making a couple of large orders for Jerry Lee ( What Price Glory).

He says he is shipping three suits a week.

He also says he expects to complete the delivery in 80 days from the date Rinkum got his.

He has had some labels made up to resemble the wartime labels but he took to heart my caution to add something modern to the labels so people don't accuse him of selling fake originals. He added the modern company name.

Any without labels, let me know and i will send you a label for your size to add, if you choose.

Irfan has not yet registered for MLU, but I have encouraged him to, if only to post in the For Sale section, or respond to questions on the suits and possible future projects.

FYI - Denim tank suits. - Jerry Lee of WPG is interested in a lot of the excess yardage we will have to have made, but he is not interested in the AFV suits. He says the volume is not significant enough for him, so he is helping me.

I am about to do something brash and try to sutler under the brand "B/|\O" "Burrill Ordnance" for a few AFV related items. This does not include the denim tank suit project! I said I would get that going as a fellow hobbyist and not put any kind of mark up on it. We all pay the same to Irfan for them,

But after that, I will see if I can make a bit of dosh from some other projects. I will clearly mark those so you know there is some profit being made.

All the best,
Jim
