Went into see Kev today. He said I had just missed TeeDee. Kev said he will have some piccies up on the website shortly of the production process. TeeDee PM'd me to say he might go in for a second fitting tomorrow/Sat or Monday. I hope that after a period of quietness things will leap forward.
As soon as I know TeeDee has had the jem encrusted buttons added, the mink fur lining, the doe-skin elbow patches, the gold collar flashes and the pink umbrella holder are done then I'll let you know

and where the axe in your profile pic would end up, would be too obvious too
Ooooooooooooooo!
Now if you did that...we may never get to No2
Or at the very least you would have to take over the GB whilst I took my turn in hospital!

I'm too tired to posty a long reply as i've been up now for 30 hours , needless to say i've been in , got measured and tested with my smock by the little old lady Kev keeps handcuffed to a radiator down in the sub-basement , I've offered to go back in to Exeter for a retry as soon as Kev gives me the Nod , which MAY be Sat or Mon depending on how much they get done.
Please bear in mind ( me getting a tad defensive, on someone else behalf ) Endicotts is a Army surplus shop 1st and foremost , I can't think of any other Surplus shop that would give this sort of custom bespoke project the possibilty of happening , let alone the time and attention to detail that this will require from Kev and his staff.
As mentioned a couple of times here so far , the test smocks ARE the most important ones and WILL take some trial and error to get right. Everyone WILL benefit from this time and experimentation that is being done NOW.
Kev said today that between His smock ( already made ) and when mine is produced ( in works now ) that this will provide the baseline for the other smocks to be rolled out akin to a manufacturing line.
Also mentioned a couple times so far are comments that these smocks are worth a wait and soemone has mentioned being willing to wait for a year to recieved theirs. While i dont think a year is very likely at all , I do think that if we can all maintain some patience the end results will far,far outstrip the time waited.
1st post on this subject was by LBL kicking the idea off on the 12-12-2009 , todays date is 14-01-2010, so just over a month from conception , interest , R & D , to initital manufacture , all done via the lovely internet forum, not in person face-to-face. ( With pesky Christmas and New Year period inbetween ) I don't think thats very shabby at all?
Apologies if this comes over a little overly defensive , i'm just trying to breathe some reality back into expectations and timeframe. Its happening, Its happening Now and soon , very soon everyone will get what they desire... I'm getting in there to do my bit when work allows and Kevs has got his Smock Goblin locked,loaded and ready to sew.
As for being a "Test Dummy" i'm suitably qualified , i've been banging my thick Troglodyte head against solid brick walls as far back as i can remember.
So please, patience , its a virtue innit?!
####EDIT#### Post was actually quite long. Sorry!!

i know what a no 2 is, i dont want to live long enough to find out what a no 8 is and i wonder if that axe will be needed for it LBL....
But isnt it fun waiting for the phone call from kev and what we will all end up with because i keep changing my options on a daily basis, so it will kind of be a lottery when it does C O M E ...(and no jokes about that being a no 8)

Thanks for the update TD.
It's really appreciated the work you LBL and Kev are doing to get this right for everyone :You_Rock_

Thanks Steve ,
To be fair I'm just the chunky arsed mannequin , real hats off should go to Kev and Mark ( LBL ) for doing it and making it happen. As mentioned i really can't think of ANY other surplus shop that would entertain such a madcap scheme;-
RING-RING,RING-RING "Endicotts....Hello Mark,.. you've got an idea, have you ?? Lets hearr it then........ Bespoke wool blanket smocks with a range of Options for 50 people?!!......... Yep, no problem. Bring it on ~"
What was clearly conveyed to me from his enthusiasm and interest into getting this RIGHT was that Kev ( Endicotts ) really want to nail this project for all the right reasons.
Going off to bed now, toodle-pip chaps.
