Apart from looking pretty boring as a jacket, how can you not 'retro-fit' an item which is 'zipped-in'?

Seems a bit daft not to build in a zip so x, y or z can be added at a later stage if the wearer desires .. Err, that 'after sales market' = hooge profit margins!!!!, way in excess of the original item... thanks to those very same add-ons.

Just about every government supplier knows how to extort the most, err I mean adapt their offering to procurement requirements and protocols. In response to, and to get the most out of blatant procurement stupidity...


Why would you not give people an easy opportunity to boost your company's coffers???
