neoakaj Posted July 23, 2013 Share 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chex Posted July 24, 2013 Share 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think my suede is going to be below the half way mark on my thigh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crikk Posted July 24, 2013 Share 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neoakaj Posted July 24, 2013 Author Share Posted July 24, 2013 I have modded the collar yes. It was after the pictures where taken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Griffin-X Posted July 24, 2013 Share 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neoakaj Posted July 25, 2013 Author Share 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest hel0wrench Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 I thought so, but I wanted to make sure. Where might I go to pick one of those up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
