Hi Dusan,

There is interest from our group in the Netherlands for these overalls as well.
Please keep us updated and ask if it is possible to have some made in time for Normandy. Thank you!

Cheers,

Likewise here in the UK, cost and dispatch times permitting (and how accurate they are)

Hi all,
spoke to Daniel on Saturday and he confirmed that he will make the overalls this summer. He was not sure when as according to him it was also a matter of funds. He will start with most usual sizes and leave any odd ones last. He said he has denim for about 50 overalls left. I will sum up the interest so far so he has better idea of the possible order situation and favourite sizes.
Well, from what he said I would not rely on him for the Normandy schedule Marc.

Default Tank overalls

Guys, I have good news. Just talked to Daniel and he should be starting production in about two weeks. He will start with popular sizes, I will look through what everyone wished here.
I asked him to make some real figure picture with the overall on which he promised to send over this weekend so I will put them here.
I am just thinking that there might be someone who gives it a try first to tells the rest of you what the quality is and how it feels like.

Default Thanks for the encouraging news.

Your renewed efforts are appreciated.

Daniel may want to review what had already been submitted for size and consider going for the larger "normal" sizes as we are all very well fed!!!!!

I am also still interested - but would like to see a sample of the material planned to be used to ensure this is correct.

Can you ask Daniel if he would be happy to provide a small piece - he must have some off-cuts which he cannot use and which he could send over.

Many thanks

Tim

Hi guys,

Daniel sent me few pictures of his the overall put on.
Tim, it will be no problem to post the sample, I think I have you address in a PM you sent me last year? You can tell others what the denim is like.
