Simple things like aluminium flashing are very hard to obtain if you live in the eu; your often better off buying ti. A service offering overseas shipment of aluminium flashing would be very welcome. I know it is dirt cheap in the US, but costs $70 to buy and send to the UK. It might be a good idea to supply what the other suppliers don't, like the much sought after DX40. A little harder to source, but equally sought after would be some 140 denier dyneema gridstop! First rule of business: give the myogers what they want. I have also seen a site mentioning a precut down jacket kit that is no longer available. I think this is a great idea; you just can't get a pattern for a good sew through down jacket anywhere. A sew through down jacket would be simple, light and unique (in so far as nobody else sells anything like it). Something like the Mont bell ultralight 7d jacket, but with hydrophobic down. It would be nice if the pattern were available seperately for those who want a custom build.
