I just picked up a black set of coveralls from SEARs, and some old felt from goodwill. Cheap.

GOOD NEWS : My Bucket is 90% done, and looks awesome. BAD NEWS : Ran into a snag with the SC TD and Don Jarr Greebs. It looks like the Indention running along the back of the TD is smaller for SC then others. The Don Jarr greebs look good, but they are to wide to fit the TD. SOOOOO, im thinking i need to cut the Greebs down to fit, or should i cut out some of the TD to fit the full size greebs? Anyone else run into this problem?

I am wondering how the good admiral fit his big forearms through those sleeves in the morning.

Just bought one! Think it said he has 6 left now

Thought i would drop in an update... Ive been busy with school and the girlfriend i havent had much time to get to it. On top of that we have a broken sewing machine. But my Belt is nearing completion. QUESTION! does the rear strap and buckle on the thigh box have to be a certain length?... Like the buckle can be situated anywhere along the rear strap as long as the box is at the appropriate position?

The photos have been showing up for me since i first saw the post a few days ago.

Ah make me one!

Ordering it today then. Thanks

related question! What all does the KS construction entail before i also buy one? I saw pics of pasting and clamping another bucket... This is my first build and im kind of doubting my abilities at the moment.

How much did you guys give for your KS buckets?

Im in the same boat... Just got mine and dont know where to jump in lol.

In addition to me being in Hawaii, that also counts for shipping over the weekend, and going to the wrong sort facility on the other side of the island.

Just got it in. Way faster than i thought... Bout 6 days and I live in Hawaii. Now I just need to figure out where to start. My Boots are basically done, i just need to sew stitching into the bone shaped flap and glue it on. One more adjustment to my Cummerbund so it fits me normally. And need to sew the suede onto my coveralls. Still Need : Gloves, Vest, and Bucket.

How long does it typically take Lonewolf to reply and ship you one of these? Im still waiting for a reply.

Im 6'3" as well and also working on my boots. I added an extra two inches to the shaft part in height. When i have my knee pieces to wear with it i will trim it down and sew the top to what looks right.

After some failed attempts at trying to buy coveralls with a $30 shipping charge i just went in to sears and picked up a cheap one. However i found out Hawaii does not have any stores that sell Suede or Faux suede... but a quick trip to the womens section in goodwill fixed that problem for $6.

For reference... Pockets come off easily... But the coveralls will not hold black dye... It must be the Polyester. Look like i am buying a suit afterall

Yea i was wondering if i should take the ones off that will have armor covering. I was worried about pockets to carry my things, but now i figure my pouches will work fine. Is there any trick to turn the collar into a mandarin collar? not to skilled with sewing but wanna give it a go.

Aaah! i knew it sounded it too easy

Aloha guys, While I'm waiting for my SC kit to arrive i decided to work on my boots and under suit. I was looking at a lot of coveralls and race suites when i remembered i still have some old uniforms from when i was in the service. The Navy issued coveralls seem perfect, and mine have been worn in and feel like PJs. I wanted to Dye them black and sew on the suede pieces. But what about the pockets? They aren't zipper pockets, just chest, front, and butt pockets. Do they need to come off? ALSO! I have a good pair of boots from my tour with the Army (yes i got around) They have the tan soles so they should be good too yea?
