Not seeing any Belgian Blue in a medium. Been wearing my Belgian Blue Antero 2 for at least 8 seasons...still looks new. Hoping that's a website error....

sorry about that. we put some of these in leadville retail shop of long time friend after production was completed. i just looked into it and either they all ended up at Tim's shop in Leadville or we ran out of belgian blue cutting medium last and never had many to begin with. I am not sure of the answer as we are not running as tight an inventory ship as many.

let me make a call

^ not getting him on cell. shop transitioning from ski to fly shop...i will stay on this till i have an answer...

**MyNameIsAugustWest** · 04-28-2023, 03:26 PM

^Thanks M!

Will definitely buy if you can find one.

**eskido** · 04-28-2023, 03:31 PM

Hell yes, ordered!!

thanks Micol!!

**SoVT Joey** · 04-28-2023, 04:35 PM

Hell yes to a desert camo.

**Viva** · 04-28-2023, 05:25 PM

I'm also looking at the Belgian Blue in medium.

Dammit! I was just passing through Leadville.

I actually was able to buy some stuff from Malazana (sp?) without an appointment- well I made one in shop and they bumped it three months forward to the day I was there. That was very sweet of them.

And here I thought we could take up bow hunting turkeys together.

**halliday** · 04-29-2023, 07:46 AM

Desert camo and ice blue. What the hell, you only live once.

**bigwaterbird** · 04-29-2023, 12:01 PM

Crimson in the cart as we speak...any chance you'll be getting any more stickers made up?

**Micol** · 04-29-2023, 01:50 PM

Just got my Hard Brest and for me (6', 175#) the medium is an absolutely perfect fit. Big enough I can wear it over a hoody, but not so loose it's baggy. Just exactly the right size. Lots of thoughtful touches on it like all FRS products. I'm stoked. Thanks Micol! It also happens to be sprinkling here today and it is the perfect thing to throw on.
