| Thats because it just went on the market. There was a little bit about it in one of the threads, I think it was in the AF uniform thread.

It will come in standard and long lengths for people over 6 ft (there seem to be a lot of really tall people over there!)
It will be available soon ish ie before the nationals at the same price as Atlanta. | Here you go.

| Yes, but the Absolute signature sounds like it's made from what might be a stretchier material. They're definitely not quite the same, and while the 360 Team stretches, it's not by any great amount like something made from Nylon. At the price tag they want, I'd hope the Absolute stretches well.

| What's to account for the huge price difference (well over $100) between these and the Sydney range? Is it just the Transpor lining? If so, that'd be some expensive lining. | |

| I second the above sentiment. I get the impression that the Sydney is lighter weight but I could be wrong.

| The fabric is different, and the Sydney fabric is I believe one of the most expensive out there. |

| It's supposed to be the stretchiest FIE uniform out there, as well.

| Sydney (soon to be London) is the stretchiest, thinnest, whitest and most breathable available anywhere. it is also about twice the price of other stretch FIE cloth.
The cloth of the Team range has a good level of stretch but it is hard to quantify against other jackets. | |

| Since the Team is relatively thin and light, it should be rather cool, right? Also, how smooth is the fabric? I got the chance to check it out at the Portland NAC, but I'm drawing a blank now.
I need new knickers, and I'm considering them.
I'm also curious about how Leon Paul gear is cut. Whether it's generous or tight, etc.

| Hey Alex, any word on the availability of the London/Sydney range? I know previously you had said that you'd only be able to supply them in the Spring, has that run already passed? Also, any idea of an ETA on the new facelift for the outfit, and if that will mean any adjustment to the price?

| Because I can. Seriously, they're really nice, and it's obvious just by looking at them.
