So here we are, one year after the IC for GMK
Windbreaker. After seeing the way people were interested in
the set, I really wanted to figure out a way to make it
happen. Unfortunately between things like Covid, massive
queues, etc. etc., going through GMK just didn’t seem to be
the best path forward for this keyset. So GMK’s out, I have
no faith in being able to dyesub this properly, many other
manus make me nervous about matching so many custom colors
when they’re so new, and some manus’ process is simply
incompatible with “handarbeit” style color blocking (e.g.
JTK shoots all their alphas at once, so you’d need full sets
of alphas for every color”).
So that brings us to this:
DCS Windbreaker. I’m opting for cherry-style legends,
because while I appreciate the historic value of the Gorton
ones, I think they’re simply too thin for the already
pitiful contrast on some of the caps.

Expect pictures soon, but for all but the

Does
anyone know who to ask to get custom Starter jackets made?
Asking for a friend.
FAQ
Why GMK?
Why Not?
How
expensive will this be?
If you have to ask..
What
will MOQs be?
Since a lot of the colors aren’t featured
in base, I’m pretty sure the child kits will be 250 each.
Them’s the breaks!
Hey how did you write an FAQ if no
one has seen this and had questions to ask, let alone ask
them frequently?
Woah this is getting too meta, enough
questions
Thanks to Jacobsmirror for the inspiration,
