You may have heard that the ventile fabric was designed under Churchill's directions when RAF pilots who were shot down over the English Channel were only surviving for minutes due to the extremely cold waters. Ventile retains warmth and keeps out cold/moisture to such a degree that the survival rate rose considerably. At any rate, both Barbour and Billingham use this material and Billingham makes the photovest which is distributed by Leica. Available in Large and x-large - price $295. + $10 shipping - Regards, Rose & Jay Deutsch, Leica Gallery (tel: 212-777-3051 / Fax:212-777-6960.)
