BrewDiver Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 so apparently i cant sew very well, would the ribbed sleeves sewed onto the undersuit pass muster or does it HAVE to be separate, i know for lancer it does but i'm not going for lancer.

I'm just a newbie, so take what I say worth a grain of salt, but SWP claims to be 501st approved and he's got the vest sewn into the jumpsuit. Like you said, that wouldn't be Lancer approved, but from what I understand, it does fulfill basic requirements for 501st. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrewDiver Posted December 15, 2012 Author Share Posted December 15, 2012 what i'm most curious about is can i get away with just the sleeves or does the whole vest need to be sewn in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BenPass Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 That one I'm not sure about. Sorry Like I said, I'm very new, and haven't figured that much out yet. From the pics of SWP, it looks like it's just vest sleeves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Griffin-X Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 SWP is a member of this forum and does provide a suit with the vest built-in. Although not accurate, there are a few topics on this subject, check them out (search for flak vest). The best option is to have a separate flak vest, and it's not really that hard to make. I made mine using a t-shirt as a template, and added the ribbed sleeves. There are also some reputable sellers here that make awesome, accurate vests.

4505Marcel Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 I answered this in anouther thread, to have an accurate vest it needs to have a wide neck line and seperate rear 2" velcro closure which, by just having sleeves on the flight suit wouldnt be accurate enough in my eyes. If asked my opinion I would turn a costume made in this way down for clearance 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Voorhees Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 I am a GML for my garrison. Just the sleeves sewn onto a jumpsuit, i would not clear. The suit mentioned above, has the entire vest look built into the jumpsuit i believe, and if that is the case, for standard clearance, i would allow that.
