If you can't make it to SHOT Show, you can find out more about the new Elite Series here. |

First POST! IBTL! |
|
|
Yep + 1 IBTL! |

|
Now that is the first time I've heard Ichiro Nagata's work called gay. Regardless, I'll be at SHOT. I hope many of you can stop by the booth.

+1 Correct spelling in this situation is "Ghey" |

He's for real. There were some positive posts about this line of clothing on the 10-8 forum, but this stuff has not been released to public yet. Nothing wrong with some competition for 5-11.
When is this stuff going to be available to the public? ps-Geez take it easy you guys. |
|
Sorry! Yes I hate freeloading trolls that advertise their shit and make no other posts! |

|
Well that's just Tacjaptically fabulous ! |
|
|
For what it's worth, the clothing isn't sold by us directly to the public. It will be sold by the dealers that carry it after the SHOT Show launch. I just wanted to give everyone here an invite to the booth at SHOT to see the clothing.
Aimless Site Staff - thanks for the support. I'm hoping we will start shipping to the dealers mid March. |
|
Lock it just to appease the inmates! |
|
|
Tough crowd. A guy has to start posting sometime. I'm here to answer questions if anyone has any. I'm not a troll.
|
|
Gee and I passed up that career in corrections for this!
The clothes aren't even on the market yet, let the gentleman answer some questions-consider it an experiment. Okay, so why should I buy these over 5.11 tacticals? What do the back pockets look like? A more conservative looking rear pocket would make these not shout "I'm undercover, or pretending to be!" as loudly as 5.11s. |

I’m not going to bash the folks at 5.11 Tactical. They took the Royal Robbins 5.11 pant and created a whole line, which was a good thing. With Woolrich, they have a sound reputation for producing high quality, long lasting clothing. I still have shirts and jackets from my father and grandfather that are from Woolrich. That’s one of the reasons we went to Woolrich to produce the Elite Series. They have also been producing clothing for the US military continually going back to the Civil War. Even now, they are producing the new ACU digital pant for the Army.
The rear pockets on the pant were changed after our pre-production pants went out to our “beta-testers”. The angle on the rear pocket is scalloped in order to make it easier to access gear in the pockets. There are also pockets for carrying a wallet or ID that are positioned about the same as the pockets on a pair of jeans. Why buy an Elite product? The fit, the construction, and the fabric are some of the reasons. The features are another. |
|
The folks in our photo shoot are not models. Two are police officers and one is the owner of Tango Down. They are the real deal. |
|
|
so true. |
|
|
I'll be at the SHOT Show.
I'll try to stop by and say hello. Welcome to the board. |
|
Can you confirm the rumor that Chuck Norris will be at your booth?
Welcome to the ETA: dang beat the spelling nazis |
|
Do you need anyone to test them in the third world? Please let me know, I'd be glad to provide you with an objective analysis of the garment's performance in less than ideal situations.
|
|
We are going to be distributing the Elite Series line of tactical clothing that Woolrich is producing for us. |

CHLmama – thank you
1Gunner – nice padlock Old_Painless – excellent, hope to see you there. Thank you Papertargets – don’t worry, it only itches on Fridays hat Wingnut116ACW – send me an email with your contact info and sizes. Once we receive the production clothing, I’ll get a set of samples for you to try out. TrijiCog – some of the accessories are made here in the US. The shirts, pants, shorts, etc., are either made in India or China, at facilities Woolrich supervises over. We can also have the clothing made here in the US to be Berry Amendment Compliant, but the downside with that is the price. |
|
The first colors we are introducing for the pants and vest are khaki and black. For the shirts the colors are khaki, black, sage, and navy blue. By mid-year we will be adding additional colors to the lineup as well as new shirts and pants.

Is that flashlight really mounted on top of the handgurd, in front of the optic?
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Let me guess, that's one of the new 6-sided offset tactical handguards, right? Wish you luck. I have an old Woolrich wool shirt from 1980 that still looks new. Itchy as hell but it's 1/4" thick wool. Their latest stuff hasn't been the same quality (or cost). |
