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

[Remko]

Hi,

Two years ago i recieved my AFV Coverall from Irfan.

I've worn it on several days, 4 in total and love it, it fits, is warm and a perfect match to an original as i saw several today at our annual liberation day event.

Sadly i have 2 problems with it.

1. The snap on the right leg top pocket came out of the fabrock of the pocket (still attached to the pocket cover)

2. The snap on the right leg lower pocket broke out of the fabric of the pocket (still attached to the pocket cover)

These lower parts of the snapper are not reinforced in the pocket as for the pocket cover is a 2 layer fabric.

Does anyone else have these problems as well?
?

Hi folks.

I think the cost of sending me the suit and back for me to fix far outweighs the cost of getting a local tailor shop or auto upholsterer to set a new snap.

I would ask that you find a local shop to repair the snap and then send me the invoice to pay you back.

I agree... I told Irfan early on about the need to have the snaps pushed through the additional square of fabric. It like someone added the pattern part correctly, but the "stud setter guy" didn't realize what they were for.

So, international postage costs being what they are, lets say the fix is to go to a local shop that you would take any similar problem to and have them fix it and then send me the amount and I will paypal it back to you.
