  • Custom Federal Blouse Flannel Just Arrived!

    Folks,

    I know it seems like I'm hitting you with more and more announcements, but I had a lot of irons in the fire and when they all get hot at the same time you've got no choice but to grab them all!



    The latest (and by far coolest) new product we have just received is our federal fatigue blouse flannel. We had this flannel custom woven and finished by one of the premier woolen mills in the country, who has been supplying the authentic end of the hobby the best blouse flannel available since the mid 90s. The flannel is the same color as our previous (now famous) vibrant indigo blue cloth, but is much better finished and will not shrink under normal use.


    Cost is $25/yard plus shipping. As you can see, we are well stocked!

    Also, this shipment finally gives me a chance to finally begin a process that is relatively unheard of in this business. Today we are beginning a fatigue blouse recall. More information can be found here: http://www.wwandcompany.com/coatrecall.html

    This gist of it is that for awhile the material we had been using for our coats was not properly finished and was unfortunately shrinking beyond what is considered reasonable under very little strain. Rather than allow what I consider to be shoddy workmanship leave this workshop unchecked, I am going to make things right, and offer new blouses at severely discounted prices to anyone who was affected by this situation.

    At any rate, I am very excited to begin working with my new flannel, I have a customer patiently waiting for an SA blouse so I think it's time I cut into this material!

    Best Regards,

    Dan and co.

    I can't help but ask..

    For those items passing from the hands of those who take you up on your recall.. What do you plan on doing with the 'shrunk' Federal blouses? Will you be cutting deals at all? I am in need and I wear a size 40-42.. I'll take a shrunk size 44+ anyday. I'm not ready to purchase just yet but year's end could prove otherwise..

    Just sayin.. Only askin..

      Jon,

      I'm not sure if I understand your question exactly, but perhaps this excerpt from my page will explain:

      "WHAT TO DO WITH YOUR OLD COAT:
      It is yours, you don't have to send it back. You can sell it, throw it in the loaner box, or even donate it to a non-profit organization, such as David Slay's excellent Vicksburg youth program, and take the tax deduction! Heck, cut it up and use it as a lining on an overcoat!"

      In short, we are not taking back any old sack coats, they are the original customer's to do with whatever they wish.


      Best,

        Dan

        You answered my question. I look forward to perhaps getting a good deal on a Wambaugh/White Federal jacket this winter. Winter my friends.. that means that no PMs to my box are neccessary till then, though I am in need and would have appreciated any I would have recieved.

        Thanks,

          Dan,

          For those of us uninitiated, do you have an idea on the weight of the fabric?

            Tom,

            It is an 8 oz flannel, to original specs.

                  Sign me up for four yards!

                  PLUS, if anyone wants to get rid of a pre-shrunk coat, I take a 48 regular...I'll take a 50 or a 52 any day!
