Well, you learn something new every day. You know why I went with the cotton-poly Dual-duty stuff?

.....'cause Frostline includes it with all their kits!.......or used to, anyway.

I "cut my teeth" on several Frostline kits, including a nice mountain parka. There used to be a Frostline store in Denver (many years ago) that would have outlet-type deals on kits.

Is Frostline still around?

They provided a great niche of high quality materials kits before outdoor gear was so readily available at the highly discounted prices of today. The catch was, you had to sew it yourself or find someone to sew it for you. I think I re-did the zipper in my mountain parka about a dozen times before I was satisfied with it!
Thanks Alan, for a nostalgic memory!

Frostline technically still exists but the company changed hands in 2000 and if you do the substantial amount of work needed to chase them down, according to this website:

you'll get their last catalog, published in 2001. I think they're basically kaput, which is very much too bad.
