Looking good!!

Erik, also with the faux leather, (I have the same on mine), once cut it will have to be folded, so when you are doing your patches for your pants they just cant be sewn on, you'll have to fold then sew, ironing then pinning helps. You can pre sew as long as you sew on the same line so there is no double stitches. When its either Leather or pig skin (my favourite) no need to hem just cut into shape and sew on. You can sew Pig Skin and suede with a leather needle, pig skin is more forgiving if you didnt buy one. I've had my faux leather for over 10 years and still going strong, its just tricky to sew on.

Hello Erik, Welcome to Pathfinders, if you get stuck building your soft parts please show us, we will be able to assist to the best of our ability.

Hi ya Paul, Being the young lady, she can also have a two piece undersuit.

Hi ya Kirsten, Oh this brings me back, it can be quite a mine field fitting armor to a smaller frame. I agree with Retrofire, before cutting and moulding start on the vest and Cummerbund, these will change the fitting of the armour. Your front chest piece looks good the back piece is a smidge low, the back neck line is a little low than one would want and you can see there are not yet matching. Though before adjustments, get those soft parts up and running. I concur with the bell, it is a tad large and the arm piece, I like how you've marked it out, go by the old saying "less is more" don't be afraid to mould it in, if you haven't done it before I would suggest hot water, mould the arm parts to your body only so slightly.

Good to hear. There are a couple of different ways, I have a strapping system. Others do the vest/ overalls / chest Armor with Velcro. The strapping is over the shoulders, this gives the bun movement with you and is also adjustable, using less Velcro.

Glad Chris is helping with the strapping. You’ll need to bring the bun up, is it attached anywhere? Basically to keep it up. Otherwise it will drop drown when least expect it.

Hi ya Drew again, glad you got the photos up . As I mentioned your drop box fabric is elastic, you’ll find it easier to replace and sit better with webbing, mentioned places you can find these and Chris has offered some for you, the photos in Knightfall the elastic is pulling and you can see there hooked and stretched. You’ll will notice the swap over and will look more towards the movie scout.

Hello Drew, Welcome to Pathfinders A potential Knightfaller. Looking forward to watching your build. Any Questions please reach out

Ahh thats good! Basically its hidden. Thank you for clarifying. The name of the seam has eluded me. I'll remember it when I'm in the shower.... and forget again.

Coughs! I'm a lady. Two piece suit, mens shirt and cargo pants both altered. We are hitting 40 atm Lachy, drink plenty of water. Nothing wrong with having two under suits, btw the two piece isnt as thick as the over alls.

You can bring down the "quality "I think thats what they call it, by running them though social media. Do you know how to attach with the button on the right side "other Media" 🙂

Hi ya Melanie, Not quite sure what you meant about the seam's on the cummberbun and where it is. Would love to see photos, before I can advise. Btw good job on the vest and overalls, I did do a two piece, nothing stopping you making one for those long trooping days also you can use lighter fabric.

loving the detail, thank you for sharing your build with us.

Hi ya Dom, With my flack vests I didn't have a seam, its a little more work though I found it neater, it doesn't mention this on the CRL so its more to what you prefer. Sewing the leather to the flight suit, yes you can use a sewing machine, it is a little tricky to manoeuvre the machine around. Remember the black elastic to pop that in.
