Death Recon Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 Ok so here's the deal, I decided before working on my DMP's I would take a stab at my tan CadPat first, just so I wouldn't mess up the DMP's... So take this for what it is, just referance at this point. I took a bottom pocket from the tunic and made an triangular flap to go across the front like a mandarin collar... It closes with a simple Velcro: Closed And finally to show its good and high enough, a pic with the helmet... Anyways hope someone finds this useful Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chilledmilk Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 looks good, im liking that better then the ascot might have to convert mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chex Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 I would think you would want that a little tighter on your neck though, or at least be a little more form fitting. That might hit a snag with getting approved. But since I know nothing about KTs, I'll let Nate or Matt chime in lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grumpy Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 "Chime-chime" Yeah, a little more fitting around the neck, and not so high. You'll have a black balaclava underneath, anyway. It does look good, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chilledmilk Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 look into the way the US does their combat collar on ACU that might be perfect height Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Death Recon Posted March 5, 2013 Author Share Posted March 5, 2013 Good thing about Velcro is that it can go tighter or looser. It can be much more form fitting, but I don't like things so tight around the neck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Death Recon Posted March 6, 2013 Author Share Posted March 6, 2013 Ok so here the 99% finished BDU tunic... I took the collar and folded it inwards by a lil less then half, then sewed it together... Added some ribbed stitching for ridgedness: Then added a Chinese style closer flap to go across the throat: Here's the finished look: Hope this is "tight" enough for you guys LoL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sair Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 Nice work. Thanks for the pics. Just getting started with my Kashyyyk and was wondering about the neck conversion. Folding and ribbing the collar is a great idea. Looks like it worked well. Cheers, Sair Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
