we considers an ecommerce site to get this started but really we are ready to go with production with the jackets if we have the numbers.  each one of you will go through the same experience for us to get your sizings and pocket/tech requirements and everyone will get a mini blog (part of the global network) to aide you in your output, blogging and will assist you in global reach by seo as your activities from the web can be collected in this space too (it's powered by posterous)

we was going to sit on the jackets and wait to the time is right, but you know - the time is never right, you just have to do it and get it going.  i'm open to questions, feedback and we will update this soon with a request form for letting us know what types of kit you carry on you so we can start to build a database of sizings for the pocket dimensions for your kit.

we recommend that you visit a tailor or have a person locally measure you as best as you can to get a fantastic fitting garment.  we will do a video of how to do this so you can get the best result from us.
