I'm love my MUSA Mitts, and it was disappointing to see that they are 
likely going to be discontinued. I use them every day to commute in New 
York. Amazingly, they're all I need down to about 20–25 degrees F.  

It occurred to me that MUSA mitts seem simple enough construction-wise that 
they could make good sew-it-yourself kits, wherein RBW would sell pre-cut 
fabric with black thread and a segment of bungee cord, with instructions. 
People would be free to tweak the template to customize fit. I made a 
comment to this effect on Grant's Blahg post about them 
<https://www.rivbike.com/blogs/peeking-through-the-knothole/halfmitts-are-essential>
. 

I admit the idea is far fetched, and maybe even dumb! However, its not 
without precedent. Sew-it-yourself kits had a moment in the 70s/80s in the 
outdoor sports market (i.e.; Frostline Kits 
<http://www.oregonphotos.com/Frostline1.html>). 

But just out of pure curiosity, I wanted to put it to the group. Would you 
buy em? Would you sew them? Would they be more viable, business-wise?
