At this late date, I realize that I never posted photos of the coat delivery.  Before I forget, if you’re interested in the technical end of it, to include an explanation of the quality and safety features we designed into each coat. see Design of the Child’s Coat -Apparel Manufacturing Boot Camp, Fall 2015.

As I was; the packaging and inventory control ended up being more work than we imagined.
