    Where can I get an Orange Lame???

    I'm dead serious about this and I want it now!!! Can anyone help? Are there metallic, conductive fabric paints or dyes that don't interfere?

    Sorry, I can't really help but you could try dropping Allstar GER an e-mail and ask? I know they do orange masks (not the same as a lamé, I know...) that are very popular in Holland -- perhaps they could arrange something?

    Orange is a cool colour, good luck!

    The Fencing Post does enblazing so you could get it from them. It's stainless steel from linea but you would have to drop like 200 for it. It was in American Fencing if you want to see it.

    I know a guy who has an Uhlmann lame that's orange/peach/salmonish, so I would suggest Uhlmann.

    Yuppers.

    With sleeves in sabre and without in foil.

    Obviously foil has the better style and looks.

    Next time you are driving thru highway construction you could ask the flagman where your state dept. of transportation get theirs. ( Sorry, couldn't get that image out of my mind.)

    Great Idea

    I applaud your idea--I think the colleges should have colored uniforms--so Penn could have red and blue sleeves, princeton orange and black, harvard red and black, etc.

    Duke has blue lames.

    I think it'd get pretty silly looking if everyone went all out, though.

    Fabric dyes color the textile threads, not the metal. The only problem is that dyes like RIT instruct you to dye in hot water, which isn't good for lamés...

    Sorry. It can't be done.

    Or more accurately, it can be done but it may not be good for the lame.

    Don't listen to Inq. He's trying to sabotage the effort!

    Why don't you go play with your visor mask and leave the poor foilist alone?
