PhreeZone 20 #2 September 22, 2003 I've heard the suits are shipping from Croatia this weeks and will be delivered from Deland after then. I'm waiting on my S3 too. My Classic2 has barely been holding my cravings off. 25 flights since WFFC while waiting on the s3... get here already!

speedformula 0 #3 September 23, 2003 wow, i'd be totally impressed if the suits show up at your door in 6 -8 weeks, I'm under the impression Birdman inc is pretty loaded with orders. I always wondered how come they dont make them here in the US. Keeping it real 22x7 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TomAiello 26 #5 September 23, 2003 Quotecheaper labor overseas. It might also have to do with putting manufacturing somewhere that the chief designer can oversee it. Since he lives in Europe, it does make a certain amount of sense to do the sewing there.-- Tom Aiello Tom@SnakeRiverBASE.com SnakeRiverBASE.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
