Where to get various colored collapsible PC's?

[dfairleigh11 0]

Right now I've got an order in for a Mirage G4 and I tried to order it with a yellow pilot chute, but apparently Mirage only has black or white - I got black, and for now I'm cool with that, I'm just stoked I'm gonna have my own rig. But... ... I've got this smiley face theme going on with my rig, and eventually I'd like to get a yellow PC so I can put a smiley on it too
Anybody know who might sell those?

Jim Cazer would probably build you one.

I'm also trying to figure if it'd be a good idea to have the smiley printed (silk screened, I guess?) on the PC, or if it could be embroidered - would that affect the PC's volume or fabric integrity?

I suppose I should have asked this in the initial post... ...oh well.

Its your money in the end, but you do realize that the smiley face would never be visible, right?

In the air, I suppose that's true - but on the ground, etc? Not being argumentative, just trying to figure out if getting a custom PC done would be worth it.

Parachutes (and pilot chutes) can be printed with a dye sublimation process.

Except when packing during the time between when the canopy is placed on the ground and successfully bagged which will take a new jumper a relatively long time.

Cost should be pretty inconsequential compared to the $6K you'd spend on a new rig.

Jim Cazer made me a couple of custom PC's with my personal logo printed on them, one in blue, the other yellow. Took him about 3 weeks, and he's simply the nicest person you'd ever want to speak with.

LOL, I thought the same thing but the reason we do most things in life is to make ourselves happy, right! If he wants to get it done, what the hell. I have a smiley face altimeter that I like!

Nice alti!

Hell, I already spent $ to get smiley and frowny faces digitized for my cutaway and reserve handles (NTM the $6k for the rest of the rig)... ...what's another $80?

What's the best way to get in touch with Jim?

The folks at Sunrise (Wings) made me a specific color/size PC. No print, just solid color. Give Ankie a call... Great customer service.

If your dz sells gear, buy it from them. Keep your business local! They'll probably price match.
