Tight-wad,
Nice clone of the JRB Sleeves....Glad you were so inspired....
They really are useful items... Have you tried them as sleep socks yet?

Yeah I am not really down with the green color either...I probably wont make mine purple though...(but awesome job tight-wad...I plan to use that PDF of your instructions to make my own).
I finally got my shipment from featherind.com. Some donations from friends and family made order 2lbs of 800+ white goose down possible!. DIY projects here I come!
Man, that bag of down was huge! I will post pictures...

I just got an email from Bryan Pryde from featherind.com. I'll save the bandwidth and not post the attached price and quality sheets, but if you want them I'll be happy to email them; just shoot me a PM if you want it.
Here is the body of the email. I bet we could get a killer deal on bulk; can you imagine a 20 lb bag of down?
"Dear Grant,
Thank you for your inquiry.
Yes, sorry about our web site. We are revising and redoing our web site at this time.
We are a processor of goose and duck down and feathers and sell in bulk by the bag (about 30 lb lbs for feathers and feather and down blends, 20 lbs for down) and charge by the lb. If we sell less than a full bag we add a 20% surcharge on the price per lb. The minimum we sell is 2 lbs, of any quality and the minimum dollar value is $35.00. Attached are fill power ratings as well.
I have attached a price list for your perusal. Prices are in Canadian dollars. These are "list" prices and do not include any volume or payment discounts. All our offers are FOB Toronto, so freight charges are dependent upon the size of the order and method of shipping. Normally for small orders, we suggest by Fed Express parcel post delivery.
If you require any more information or would like to place an order, please return to us. In the meantime, you can visit us at our web site which you may find very informative. I have attached a link to our site.

Kind Regards, Bryan Pryde GM"

Thank you. Since I've never seen a pair of the JRB sleeves other than 2 pictures, I don't know that they are a close clone, but they seem to meet my expectations.
Nope - haven't had them long enough, and the weather hasn't been cold enough, to really try them out. I do know they are HOT in the house! And, if you have ever been around my feet at the end of the day, I don't think you would want me to put them anywhere near to something that will be worn mostly close to your nose!
