Cool!

Very cool!

CONGRATULATIONS!!! That's a big feather in the boss' cap, and I hope is the beginning of a long and fruitful relationship.

Good Stuff. Congratulations to the sitemeister.

Interesting, now can we get something in Rhodesian cammie, PLEASE?

First camo that is coming out is Lizzard Pattern. Expect to see it in our Field Jacket shortly. I just saw the pattern at our factory and it looks great! A near perfect match to the original.

Great News!
Well deserved with all your hard work!!!

Where is the clothing going to be made ? America or elsewhere ?

Thanks , Jack

Will ya CONSIDER Rhodesian? best bush pattern ever made, IMHO...

Congrats

The clothing is made overseas.

Rhodesian is on the short list of retro patterns we are considering. We want to see how well received the Lizard Pattern is before going forward with more versions.

Thank you all for the support!

Will be interested to see these firsthand but please do consider short inseam trousers.
Just got a pair of 5.11 HRT's in a short inseam and they frankly will be hard to beat. Best trousers I own.
I paid well over what I wanted to but they were the only non BDU/ACU tac. pants I could find offered in a short inseam. I tried and sent back 3 different brands because they just didn't fit well even if I'd have altered them (pockets to low on the leg, baggy seat)

I am really glad to see the wide selection of Glove Sizes. Too many brands have just S-M-L but you have a fantastic selection.

The CCS Ring looks useful too.

Now where do we find them and How much money?
