Just received a SECOND email from the Lands End folks who have stated that my email was sent directly to the Corporate Relations Office for consideration. Maybe we're making some inroads. I replied that if the decision were made to keep some of the items from the W & G catalog, to consider the bush poplin safari shirt, balloon shirt, the field pants and the A-2 flight jacket in the short list, as these were the items that made W & G famous and everyone else is duplicating. If you'll remember, it was W & G who was reponsible for the Indy bag too during WWII, so they have a lot to do with our hobby besides the clothing that everyone is duplicating. We'll see. Regards.
