Shoulder Gap Material

[pleasum]

I am at the point in my build where it's just details now. Can you guys suggest a specific type of fabric for the shoulder "gaps" on the top of the shoulders? I know it has to be white cotton, but......

 

Any help is really appreciated!!

If you use the same material as the pouches then you should be golden.

yep, like Chef said, same at the pouches/cummerbund.....If you used a more heavy weight material for your bund/pouches, a white cotton duck canvas in a lightweight should suffice

Interesting. I used 1" off-white 'braided elastic'.

Never thought of using duck canvas. That would be much more durable than cotton.

Thanks guys! I have also found it pays to have a good tailor for the things I can't do myself. The fabric my bund is made (a sort of white denim cotton) of isn't as easy to get as I thought it would be. She was able to "borrow" some from my bund for the shoulder bridge fabric. Funny how we have to learn as we go with so much of this. Studying this forum has been huge and you guys have all been a great help during my build. I am almost done. Just the holster on the boot and the belt and that's it!

 

Thanks for all the feedback guys.
