but haven't posted in probably two years. Hope there's no problem with
your records of vitals that you require for moderated forum, etc. Thanks.

Joe,
Opened box for Crusade jacket with some forboding because ordering
clothing online is not something I do easily. Software, okay, but clothing
is so personal. However, I am VERY impressed with the quality of material
(classy), design (simple but elegant), embroidery (tight, bright and
proportioned) and overall proportions and shape. As we used to say in the
automotive writing business (I have moved on . . .) about, oh, Audis and
Toyotas, for example: "outstanding fit and finish" .
That said, I couldn't help bring back an old but related topic, namely the
Babylon 5 jackets. May I suggest a re-release of the B5 crew jackets --
different enough to distinguish them from the real *crew* jackets but
similar enough (and as nice as the Crusade jackets) that they would be
extremely desirable, IMHO. I'd love to have one (maybe two: one to wear).
Puuulllleeeease?

I have to agree. I got mine a few weeks back and was very pleased with the
quality. The stitching on the Crusade logo is VERY nice and well done, very
good looking on the black wool. I've only worn it once so far, because I'm so
worried that I might damage it if I wear it too long. I'm actually curious on
how much the company that made them (Dazumerchandizing?) charged to make them,
because I belong to a local Miata club that could be interesting in getting
similar jackets made with the club logo on the back.

Thanks. You have to understand that what we did was to make the jackets
*identical in every way* with the ones we gave the cast and crew in workmanship
and quality. That's why it's kind of a big deal. It costs a hell of a lot to
get that quality, so there really ain't much profit in it, but if we were going
to do it, I wanted it done right.

We're planning those for the spring, again in a limited edition.
