a few thoughts....interesting news from Drew today....around 2016 and due to attrition, retirement, etc., maybe there were 2-3 leather tech personnel remaining so G&B stopped producing some styles of jackets and moved their leather sewing operations to Mexico.

I spoke with Drew and left a message for Dan who is head of sales concerning standardized sizing, 36, 38, 40, etc. and mentioned the possibility of getting a list together of possible orders. Drew suggested that we should speak to Dan and that such a list might prompt G&B to train the Mexico workers to make the Expedition....speculation, but the fact that the jacket could be produced in Mexico may result in a price break,. They no longer stock/use lamb.

I mentioned several thoughts....standardized sizing, periodic production runs, thin-pliable goatskin ala Raiders, Mexico price break, etc.

Who is interested in a run of the Expedition jacket?

If we get a list together, we can approach them with some interest....and get them interested, what do you think?

If you're going to start some kind of list, I suggest using the Crescent Moon Emporium section to judge interest.
