UT Trooper Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 Are there local big box stores that would have the elastic bands and/or suede? If not, then I will go here for the suede: http://www.tandyleatherfactory.com/en-usd/search/searchresults/9122-21.aspx Not sure where to get the elastic online. Also, I removed the 4 pockets on the Red Kap Coveralls, but there appears to be a couple small pockets on the leg (I assume for a hammer?). Did you guys remove these as well? It looks tough as it is sewn into the main leg seam. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chunk Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 Yes remove the leg pocket. You will have to take a seam ripper & tear out both seams around the pocket & pull it out. Then reheam the opening. You can find all your elastic at any fabric store. You can normally buy by the foot or yard & comes in several sizes from 1/4"-2" For the larger 2" normally runs a couple buck a yard. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gato Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 Hobby Lobby or Joanne's Fabrics. I prefer Hobby Lobby. They usually have all I need. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scout.trooper Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 Joanne Fabrics for the elastic... I got some faux suede there as well. If you're looking for the real stuff, I heard that some people went to used clothing stores and bought a cheap jacket to cut apart. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
