Sounds like good stuff but:

"The announcement comes the day after DuPont said it has expanded Nomex production at a Spanish production facility."  :x

Are you sure the suits are to be made in Spain?  From that name I'd think it's shorthand for "Made in Northern Mexico"  (NoMex, get it?)

Jon;

Ho ho ho.... :-D

I'm sure the basic fabric is made in Spain but the suits will be made wherever they are being made now.
