It’s an exciting day today, my flak vest and flight suit from chef’s creations came in and I’m pretty pumped. I feel like they fit like a glove and are super comfy. Does anyone see any red flags with them. Hopefully I will get suited up with armor some time this week and post some pics so you can get a better look at the lay out.

I didn’t end up using this set up because the sleeve of the CP boot is so rigid, but I used it on my old boots for my first biker scout and it worked amazing for holding up the weight of the blaster in the holster. It’s just simply an aluminum flat bar, bent to go under the foot and acts as a splint to support the weight on the sleeve. Added a bit of Velcro to the sleeve and flat bar and it’s works like a charm. Like I said, it’s not needed in the CP boots though. It’s always nice to have though cause they might start to droop after some wear and tear. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

So after the mods on the sleeve part of the boot, it ended up being more cleaned up and tight but CP put some sort of hard liner in the sleeve to give it rigidity I am assuming, maybe to help support the holster, I’m not sure. It made it have a weird imprint on the side when the boot is not being worn. You don’t see it as much when they are on though and I think the liner is a generic size to fill out the area on an average sized pair but since Am a bit taller with longer legs, the extra 1.5 inches shows more. That same liner was also making the sleeve part hard so there wasn’t any play or slack in it. It’s more of a personal preference, but I don’t like the boots looking like two tubes on my legs. Makes them look like rain boots, lol. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Thanks brother, I appreciate the kind words. It actually turned out to be a fun project. I knew I had to take it slowly or else I would have stressed out but it was not too bad. I did some more work on it yesterday and will update with pics here in a min.

So after a little break to finish up some projects for my kids, I finally got some time with my wife to work on the boots. If I knew then what I know now, I’m not sure if I would have got these boots cause I put a lot of work into them just to give them a better looking shape and have them not look so loose. I do love that the have authentic soles and also that they are made of leather and are reinforced though so there are a lot of pros to them as well. I started by removing the liner,padding, leg strap and stitching from the inside. Then I had to remove the hook side Velcro and add more of a triangular shape piece of Velcro so that I can pull it tight in the heel so it’s not loose. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Lol, I guess that happens to a lot of us with age:)

Thanks brotha, I really appreciate it. I actually just went over to his Etsy page and saw them. Definitely quality stuff. They look great.

Thanks fir the heads up brotha. I’m gonna check him out, not that I need to spend any more money..... just curious:)

Lol, yeah I recognized his face from that YouTube video on the costume overview he did last year, I couldn’t put anyone else together though, lol. Either way it was a fun time and I wish I could have spent more time on with you all

Lol, you guys can just get plaques made and have them on the table in front of you like a principal, lol. or maybe a piece of paper.... or just intro yourselves like an AA meeting:)

Yeah it was nice seeing real faces, I wish I new which face belonged to which detachment handle, but the mystery continues:), lol

It was cool seeing everyone, I got on for a bit before the kids woke up. I chimed in a few times until I realized I was on mute, lol. I felt like an idiot but was relieved that people were not ignoring me on purpose:) lol

I’m not familiar with hellhounds, what all do they produce?

I might be out for tomorrow guys and gals, I spent all day today at a local armor party and promised my kids some one on one tomorrow so we will have to see how it goes but I hope everyone has fun.

Ok cool, I wasn’t sure if it was some new cool way of doing it. Some times accidental rigging up of stuff produces awesome new ways to do things.

Sounds good man, looking forward to seeing more updates:)

Looks like you are coming along pretty good. Your padding in your bucket looks Interesting.

Sounds like it was dummy proof for guys like me:) genius

Such an exciting time brother, great job. You will most likely remember this day for the rest of your life, so enjoy it:)

I got a noob question, do we just click on the link on Sunday morning after 9am and it will take us to the chat?

I’m glad brotha, I mean it makes perfect sense, lol

They are in the mountains and didn’t have any service, duh:), lol

Holy cow did you just quote Snatch???? I think you just became my new best friend:) I’m going to favorite you Etsy page so that I have it for the future. Let me see how this 3D print treats me.

Dang brotha, where where you in my life two weeks ago. I was scavenging the Internet for a non 3D printed DLT and could not find one so I bought 3D kit. It’s a really good kit, but I prefer something casted
