Cummerbund material

[zarintyr]

I found 2 different kinds. Off white and white. Says 100% cotton. Called sail cloth in translation. Would this cloth be accepted by 501st. Japanese is called ãƒãƒ³ãƒ—.

I found a tailor to make it for 90$

[Guest Forrest Patrol]

You can use either color, not sure about Sail cloth. Most use Duck cloth, I'm think you said you found some before.

May be important to read about the off white cummerbund, pouches and drop box straps

 

Belt and Detonator

For 501st approval:

So probably the white. The stuff I found before was too light. I read that duck cloth is used for handbags, sneakers etc. I think it's the right stuff

[Dart]

Yup. You can use a heavier cotton twill, duck cloth or canvas for the cummerbund. Just make sure it's white. The only off-white stuff (optional) are the pouches and webbing (chest-back, hip boxes, top of shoulder).

[zarintyr]

Thanks. I will hunt down the measurements and copy a pattern and take it to the tailor guy. 90$ (better than 170$)

let me know if you can see these.

[Guest Forrest Patrol]

Yes

 

If you use the IMG url, you can post pics directly

 

 

Can't tell much from pics, if it is a good thick material then should be OK. Does it actually say it is duck cloth on the label?

[zarintyr]

I shine the translation and said ãƒãƒ³ãƒ—. Translation says canvas cloth

[Guest Forrest Patrol]

Yup. You can use a heavier cotton twill, duck cloth or canvas for the cummerbund.

 

Dart says yes, canvas is OK

[zarintyr]

sweet! so i need two big rectangle pieces with thin batting in between and do the same for the cod piece..and wala?

 

Is canvas lancer approved?

[Guest Forrest Patrol]

Well the set said it included soft parts. They took my measurements but no bund

 

I didn't want to highjack Mon Cal Wait Time so I'll ask you here about KS cummerbund not received. Have you still got their PDF with prices? I got mine in 2011 so I can't remember prices but I think I paid about £670 GBP for ready made armour, helmet, gun & cummerbund. What did you pay?

[zarintyr]

I paid around 800 ish. $
