Having only had Tru-Spec suits this far, can anyone tell me how a Nomex size relates to a Tru-Spec? I've always done a XL Long TruSpec, as I like it a bit baggy, so I went with a 44L on my order. Wondering if a Nomex is truly comparable, or if I should edit my order before it's too late.

I was a March preorder from Magnoli, so chances are he might be working on mine already... My name patch showed up in his early test shot.

What I dont understand with those charts... is this an error or is the tallness on 44R and 44L really higher than on 46R and 46L ?!? So because I am 1,99m I should buy 44L instead of 46L ???

I have a couple Nomex suits I've found at shops over the years. Trying to do the imperial > metric here, but I'm roughly 1.8/1.9m or 6'2" so you'd be, roughly, 6'5"? I bought a 48L and it fits perfectly. If you're taller than me, you might want to look at 50L even. I'm a pretty average build and weight for a man my size so the waist and chest are fine for me.

Unfortunately Magnoli only offers up to 46L and this one is even shorter than 44L if the Chart is correct :(
I already own a 44L second hand Nomex and its a very tight fit around the waist and at my… crown jewels ;)

They state that they can do custom sizes beyond what you see on their chart. Have your measurements taken somewhere, and message Magnoli with them. Trust me, when you're spending this amount on a custom-made suit, you want it to be perfect.

Has anyone ordered and received one of these yet? According to FB they’re good to go for ordering. Any feedback is appreciated.

Ordered yes, revived no. I’d preordered in March, and contacted them last week for a status update. They said mine should be ready in 2-3 weeks

Mike, Awesome, thanks!! I recently purchased a G&B but the fabric doesn’t “do it” for me. Wanted to make sure these guys are legit before dropping another 2 bills. 🤘

I'm certainly pleased by the photos of the prototypes... Just waiting to see how it fits at this point, especially before pulling the trigger on a gray version. :)

Got the same email last night! Hopefully things are finally about to start shipping!

I got the same email my friends. Hope they get it out soon, because if the GB1 is at good as the photos I may have to get a grey one as well...

I'm in the exact same boat... just waiting to make sure it fits correctly :)

I’m looking forward to seeing the final images on these and some user reviews once you guys get them. Definitely been eyeing at least a GB1 suit but wanted to see the final product before taking the plunge to replace my original.

I'm hoping more people will be able to receive one of these because of Afterlife's delay. If I had the money I'd buy all three.

I'M SO EXCITED. I just really, really hope I got my measurements right. I'm super paranoid I got something wrong, even though I'm sure it'll be fine.

Some updated images from Magnoli.
Shiny brass zippers, corrected cuff closure and a pen pocket on the lower right leg pocket.

Apparently they're also officially starting to ship now.

Given that you have a 2-page, full-hero pack build thread, I'm a rather surprised that you haven't been onboard with these suits from the beginning. Even before the accuracy refinements, these suits were easily going to be the most accurate ever reproduced. The price point is especially outstanding when you think about the work and research that went into them, as well as the fact that an equivalent suit from G&B would be even more expensive, and not nearly as accurate.

I’m just trying to play it cool :lol:. I’ve been very excited to see these since the start (I’m actually the 2nd post in this thread haha). As soon as I heard GB1 in ripstop I was sold. The thing that held me back from initially pre-ordering was my finances being focused on procuring parts for that hero build. Now that I’ve got almost everything for that in hand I can pivot and pick up one or two of these!

Nothing yet for me.
The last update I had was the one saying to expect it to be despatched in 2-3 weeks.
It's a couple of days beyond that mark so hopefully soon.

Right on, I figured if either of you received yours you’d post but I saw we were getting close to the 1 month mark since you got the other notifications so thought I’d ask. I’m anxious to see the final product!
