Maybe that's an easier approach. Do you have an approximation as to how much of the pig suede I should get? I understand that depends entirely on body type etc,, but a somewhat close to how much would be great to know

Ok, that's good to know. Extra fabric indeed! As for the mudflap, I got the idea an hour ago or so, that maybe I could use a pillowcase or something similar and modify a bit. Or do I overthink how to make that? Yes, I am all over the place with my questions lol

It's amazing to get these kind of pointers from you guys, thank you so much Chef! Now I at least have some semblence of an idea about what to look for. About the coverall itself, and right now I'm wondering about the main zipper in the front. Does it need to be covered up with a flap, like the RedKap is, or does it matter if it is visible?

Yes, the hip pocket I've noticed, and it should be able to remove it with a seam ripper. But what about the normal front pockets? Do you usually just let them be, or are there any requirements as for hiding/removing those as well?

I will try that then, thank you! Could you do me the favor of just looking over this coverall to see if it's usable? I'll have to remove the pockets and so on, The store that sells this is within walking distance from where I live, so then I could get started within a couple of days, rather than wait for an order from amazon http://www.biltema.no/no/Bygg/Arbeidsklar-og-verneutstyr/Arbeidsklar/Industri-service-og-transport/Kjeledress-2000038292/

Thank you for all feedback guys. As you mentioned Retrofire, at the moment I too lack the courage lol. Well, off to googling sewing machines. Can any machine sew leather by the way? Is it for the main part the needle and/or thread that depends, or does the machine itself matter for this task? Edit: Also, I see quite a posts about the RedKap coverall. Does anyone have experience with Dickies coverall? From the pictures on amazon, the Dickies one looks more close fitting, so I was just wondering if anyone had any input on that

This may be a dead topic by now, but it still saved me from doing something I rather shouldn't

Hey guys! I am making a Biker Scout, and I have a couple of questions. Any and all help are greatly apprechiated First and foremost; I do not own a sewing machine. I've come to understand that is a disadvantage. At the time I don't really know anyone nearby who can help me out with this. I do understand that (theoretically at least) everything can be made using needle and thread, but that seems a bit excessive considering the time some of the parts would probably take. So, my questions are as follows Which of the soft parts can be made using needle and thread, without using 80-90 hours? Does anyone have experience with the cost of using a seamstress? I live in Norway, so if any fellow norwegians have gotten any of their parts made in this fashion, I'd love some feedback on this Also, any tips you can give me along the way are greatly apprechiated. And TBH sorely needed I'm guessing quite a few of you guys has learnt some nifty tricks of the trade along your way More questions will come sometime in the future. Thank you in advance for any help you can give me! Cheers -Morten

So not a secret member of the royal family, hence the "we"? Looking forward to see the results of the new molds

Great to be here! I'm from a little intersection in the road up in Troms county, but been living in Bodø for almost 10 years now

Thank you Aliaz

Hey Strider, awesome armor! Got a couple of questions regarding what you make, costs etc, so could I send you a pm?

This is amazing to have, thank you

I have a feeling it will take some time, part because of economics, and in part because the significant lack of skill in crafting stuff. BUT, I'm looking forward to learning tons of tricks of the trade, and generally improving my skill with this sort of thing

Hello Progress Flight Suit - Started Gloves - Not ordered Vest - Not started Cummerbund - Not started Balaclava - Not started/ordered Boots - Not started/ordered Armor - Not started/ordered Helmet - Not started/ordered Time to get crackin'. For now I'm doing some research on how-to, as well as listing what tools I need for this project, where to find materials and so on. The first steps will most likely be to get the flight suit and maybe the gloves for starters, then maybe get on to creating the boots if I manage the suit well enough. The end result I'm aiming for is a weathered Lancer Scout. I will try to update now and again, when I have som actual news. Any and all advice from my fellow Pathfinders are very much apprechiated :-) - Morten Edit Due to quite a bit of reading and some pointers, I've have to rethink where to buy the armor/helmet
