Stream Designs Fly Vest?

Does anybody know if these are still made? I did a search and saw where a couple had sold recently on ebay. I have one that my wife bought me back in the early 90's. Still in good shape but a bit tight on me now. Wonder how that happened?

Anyway I wouldn't mind getting another one. They were a good all round functional vest.

Warren, I found that too, but according to the note on their home page, the guy that runs the site has been ill and the site is not in operation and when you click on the "order form" link it says website is down.

If you are not going to use it any longer, I would be interested in owning it.
If interested in selling please let me know.
Would depend on size of course.

Thanks!

Bobby, it's a size medium and still fits but is a bit snug to the point that I only can wear as long as I don't need to over a jacket. If I decide to sell it I'll let you know. By the way, mine was made in the USA. I did find out that the company was sold in 1981 and from that point on they were made somewhere over seas.

Have you ever thought about taking it to a tailor and having it sized up. Sounds like all that would be needed is to add a little material on the sides. In the Military our weight would fluctuate and our dress uniforms had be tailored up about every other year to fit proper.

You would be surprised what a good tailor can do...

I have thought about that. I can wear it as long as I don't need to wear a jacket under it.
