Forest Ranger Posted May 9, 2016 Author Share Posted May 9, 2016 Gonna go back with elastic on the undersides, armor's a little too tight to get on, and off with cotton webbing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Griffin-X Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 Gonna go back with elastic on the undersides, armor's a little too tight to get on, and off with cotton webbing. Yeah, I know how that feels! And the bund looks great! Chef makes good stuff! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retrofire Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 I sewed elastic to both side of my cotton webbing straps to give the front and back pieces a bit of "flex". You can only see the cotton between the plates but there's elastic where it attaches to the armor. The bund and cod look great! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forest Ranger Posted May 16, 2016 Author Share Posted May 16, 2016 What "obvious adjustments"? I need to mess with my cod piece, and trim my belt in the back so my TD hides the velcro, other than that I might just be OCD. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
