Jim,

I found a page that has sizing info here.

The pants that I make with standard 0.9 oz fabric are 7.25 - 7.5 ounces, with 3.5 ounces of down, are custom made to your size, and are $140.

Ben, Ben, Ben. You sure know how to tempt a guy. :) That's basically the same price as the Flash Pants, but with what sounds like a lot more insulation. What fill power of down are you using?

Thanks for the Flash Pants info,

HJ

Jim,

I do 800 fill as standard, but I can do 900 fill for an extra cost. The fill is almost as much as the WM Flight Pants for 0.5 ounces more than the Flash Pants.

Of course you can customize the amount of fill you get as well... $10 +/- per ounce (for 800 fill).

Ben:

I took a look at your website, but I didn't see anything related to pants. Is there a link you can give me where I can see photos or read up a bit? If not you can email me a at jimdotbarbouratgmaildotcom

A tempting trail that just dead ends? Did anyone try out the goosefeet pants? I find no mention of the product on their website.

I have a pair. They are well made, very light and quite warm. Not fashionable, that's for sure...

Ian,

I will do any custom piece of insulation clothing, as well as quilts. I can use any type of fabric that you desire (that is available for purchase). I don't advertise this on my website because I can only work on the weekends, and I have enough orders coming through already.

If you want anything done, please send me an email at goosefeet@hotmail.com.

Thanks,

Wow, thanks for the response on the necro post I did. Ben, e-mail inbound. I'm packing for a Weminuche trip, but I'll try to fit it in before I leave. No fashion statement expected on your product.
