neoakaj Posted July 23, 2013 Posted July 23, 2013 Here is my soft armor that I have been working with so far Its a Redkap suit with pockets removed. The balaclava does not have any brand names or lables on it. The gloves are, I believe, SA. Ignore the black boots. I am also building a Shadow Scout. Any advice? I have also obtained the suede needed for the riding patch. I just need to sew it on.
Chex Posted July 24, 2013 Posted July 24, 2013 Good start. I'd honestly recommend an UA balaclava though. For the suede, don't go all the way down to the knees with it like I see others do.

I have the UA one as well. I just need to find it.... its stored away with all my backpacking stuff. I think my suede is going to be below the half way mark on my thigh.
Crikk Posted July 24, 2013 Posted July 24, 2013 Did you modify the collar with a velcro flap? Also I took the legs in about an inch on mine as they were too loose/baggy.
neoakaj Posted July 24, 2013 Author Posted July 24, 2013 I have modded the collar yes. It was after the pictures where taken
Griffin-X Posted July 24, 2013 Posted July 24, 2013 I have modded the collar yes. It was after the pictures where taken Try the balaclava on the inside of the collar.
neoakaj Posted July 25, 2013 Author Posted July 25, 2013 Try the balaclava on the inside of the collar. Will do on my next set of pics. I will also have the suede patch, elastic, and flap finished up by Sunday. Any other thoughts on what to do next? I am openning a thread on the armor section for my hard armor build... Once I am able to start.

neoakaj Posted August 6, 2013 Author Posted August 6, 2013 Is the UA in reference to under the soft armor? Yes
Guest hel0wrench Posted August 6, 2013 Posted August 6, 2013 I thought so, but I wanted to make sure. Where might I go to pick one of those up?
Chunk Posted August 18, 2013 Posted August 18, 2013 Go to eBay. They have generic UA for half the price. On my phone so i cant give the link. But i did post it under someone elses link "balaclava" Under $15, free shipping
