FoxTrooper Posted March 9, 2014 Posted March 9, 2014 So yesterday I recieved my scout cummerbund in the mail. Unfortunatly it is too tight. It keeps my chest from expanding too much when I inhale. Therefore, the bund needs some loosening up. Any ideas how?
Heavy Posted March 9, 2014 Posted March 9, 2014 Did you get some spare fabric with it ? if you did, you can make an expanding piece and move the velcro a bit by first removing the velcro, sewing the expanding piece on and then sew the velcro again...

No, I didn't. Is that what I should do? Also I would like there to be a way to put it on without undoing it, so I wouldn't need assistance.
4505Marcel Posted March 9, 2014 Posted March 9, 2014 I tend to put my bund on back wards, do it up and then rotate it whilst it's on. I need no assistance what so ever with the scout 4
Heavy Posted March 9, 2014 Posted March 9, 2014 Guess so, if you want to be able to breathe I do it also like Marcel and then just turn the bund around.... same way with the belt and to fasten the TD. 1

I tried the technique, and it works! But still need to loosen it up (especially the chest area).
Chef Posted March 10, 2014 Posted March 10, 2014 Loosening them is very difficult without adding in a stack of extra stitch lines (which isn't right). If you've had it made to your sizes, and it's not correct, I suggest you speak to who ever made it and see what they can do. 1

I'll tell him more once he's around.
M.J Posted March 11, 2014 Posted March 11, 2014 If the add on is the size of velcro, just unpicking and adding will be hidden by the new Velcro...fingers Crossed Jonathan.
