Congratulations and defenitiv a very helpfull thread for beginners like me.

Next step while waiting for a smaller overall, i ordered a probe of suede. It feels very soft and flexible and i hope you can see the texture. Now i will wait to get the overall in my hands and be able to measure the size of the suede pattens. to be continued ...

Just a question for my understanding ... The CRL says: - shoulder bridge covers are made (can be) of white cotton webbing - under arm straps are made from white cotton webbing - dropbox straps are made of white cotton webbing - pouches are white or ... but if the pouches are off white, the dropbox straps have to match and must be dyed. So, if i go all white i am good to go? Cheers Wolfgang

Next step, after cutting out the zipper ... and by the way thank you @Chopper for the hint, the zippers were easier to cut out as i thought ... get the suede black ... first layer ... dry over night and tomorrow they get a second layer. To be continued ...

Saturday i ordered the suit and while i have to wait, i grab the gloves ... funfact ... they got a hidden pocket on the inner side ... and look what i found ... no ... they were not Spock´s ... rainprotection for the gloves. Back to topic ... i cut out the inner lining and cut off the buckles over the hand. I know, i have to get rid of the least red fabric in the glove but that won´t be a problem, but ... befor i cut the glove in to pieces ... just cut the zipper out, or open the sewing, take the zipper out and sew the triangle piece of leather properly in place? to be continued ...

A little bit late, but congratulations Alexandra!

Hello, my name is Wolfgang and the title tells it, this will be maybe a longtime project, because i like to do most of the softparts on my own. At the beginning of september, the armor and helmet will be ordered, but for now ... this pair fits perfect on my hands. to be continued ...

Congratulations Frank.
