My wife got back yesterday with a new Ninja suit - it appears to now be a cotton/polyester blend rather than just polyester. Feels a lot more like the BA first ones. Is this recent?

Yes it is and they have also shrunk - a medium suited me well now I feel trussed up [:0].

They needed to shrink. My large will fit the whole of Hull it in, and I fit quite comfortably in the small Luke got (the last time I wore small I was about 8[:I])

A (small) step in the right direction, but will they - I wonder - continue to launder and redistribute them?

Now I know it's grim in Hull and that food parcels don't always get their, but there's no need to brag about your size [:X].

[:?]They've allways been a polycotton blend (more poly than cotton 65% poly 35% cotton).The BA First ones are pure cotton and much nicer against the skin. No blue sparks from them either.

That would explain why I electrocute the cat when wearing one of my suits.

So what is this, the 3rd generation of ninja suits ?

Is this a sign of improvements being made to the UC cabin ?

New ones will be 4th gen,started with all grey ones then the purple and grey,then black ninja suits.The new BA ones with the yellow detailing are very long lasting and seem to hold their shape better than previous ones.

So are you meant to give these back or do you keep them?

the consensus is, if you want one, you can keep it.... Save VS washing them...... [:w]

I really don't see what the problem is with them being used, laundered, and re-used until someone either a) takes it away or b) it is by some measure 'wornout' and is retired from service.

Hotel bedlinen, bathrobes and towels aren't thrown away after each use, and they have been in direct contact with the user's skin.

As long as it's cleaned properly between each use, I don't see how a sleep suit is that different?
