"default" in C for about 1.5-2y -- I like those as cable/adaptor/usb-sticks compartments

No Rimowas for me obviously

Neither on the outbound flight to IAD nor on the inbound flight from IAH.

Isnt quite a while ago LVMH already announced they had stopped partnering with airlines making Rimowa ? And the last Rimowa kit was the red one on BR that stopped in November.

Especially the red one was just used by BR as their last Rimowa.

It seems at first it was cancelled, but LH branded Rimowa luggage is back in the Worldshop, even with the new design: https://www.worldshop.eu/de/category...Marken_RIMOWA_

I thought all Rimowa kits was made by hk base Formia from the beginning ?

Spiriant provided the Rimowa kits for BR & LH. Formia was involved in the production for those and also did the final provisioning for TG.

Dark brown Van Laack kit in F (matches the pajamas, I guess). Nothing to get too excited about.

Very weak offering, compared to LX, Zimmerli PJ’s are excellent. ^

From the labels:
VL (brown): 60% cotton, 40% polyester
Zimmerli: 100% cotton.

Don't know about the older grey ones (LH); gave that PJ to father.

The older grey/olive ones are 65 polyester, 35 cotton. They are terrible and don‘t stretch at all.

My favorite combination right now are brown VL pants and Zimmerli shirt. VL shirt has uncomfortable around the neck and arms are way too short.

I really liked the blue VL I received last September, but I agree, they aren't as pleasant as the LX Zimmerli ones. I was really lucky on a flight to DXB and received the old dark grey/black Zimmerli ones with the collar, which I find to be better than the dark blue version we currently have. I think those aren't around anymore now...

Tbh I would switch it around worldclubber, I find the VL pants to be a little to uncomfortable, but like the top (as it has a collar and I really like collars).
