I agree with Dennis' math, we're in a Millenia outer shell, higher end gear and I think we're over $1,800 a set for coat and trousers. If added a few more options, we could easily be in $2,000 gear.
I see that Lion got the Chicago contract, personally (I don't sell the gear, so this isn't as biased I suppose), but I know of at least three brands that I'd rather wear. I wonder what the contract called for, what kind of competitive evaluation there was, etc.
And for those of you that don't think there is a big difference in who makes the gear, send me an e-mail. We'll have a nice talk about one particular manufacturer's stuff that I'd just assume be rid of, but is new enough that I have to keep it around. I'd rather issue some stuff we bought in '99 over this crap we bought in '02 when I have a newbie that needs gear until he comes off probation and we buy him new.
Oh, and by the way - I hear Dennis is loaded, drives an Escalade with phat rims and kickin' sound system. He's da bomb. <img src='http://www.firepics.net/groupboards/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='
