Adie, thanks for the compliment! For the needle, I used a standard denim/leather needle (I don't remember the number), and I used upholstery thread to give the stitches a thicker look.

I'm still lurking around... :)

That's exactly what I was afraid of.

Robert, thanks for the information and input. When was the CRL updated on the 501st website? And was this new information ever posted in TDH? I'm simply trying to see where I missed the notification...

This is the exact reason I've halted production until I get clarification (hopefully with screen shots or exhibit stills)!

Yeah, I saw that, that's why I'm bringing it up. Was there a thread anywhere on TDH that explained the change? This small change will automatically disqualify ALL of the potential tier 2 Fetts who bought vests or neckseals from me in the last decade.

I, too, would wait a few more days. I'm not sure where La Mesa is, but if it's on a different continent than the UK, that could be the cause for a little delay.

I'm also wondering how the current status compares with this same time last year. Could it be a seasonal thing? We always expect an influx of new members right after DragoCon and around Halloween, right?
