I have an Alice bag for my M gear which I rather like. Do you have a brochure or other way of sending the specs on the vest - especially number, size, and location of pockets? If so can you send one to me? My address is: Tom Kline P. O. Box 1949 Cordova, AK 99574 TIA Tom >We carry Billingham vests - made in England out of ventile (pure cotton all= - - >weather fabric).
