Stroker Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 Heresmy question I had a fellow scout commsion me a new set of pouches sized 6" x8" and around 2.25". The 6" x7" were a short even with my belt at my waist "belly button" I've checked threads and checked threads on this topic. Some say sizes accordingly to your sizes and some say 6x7 are the accurate size. I myself am a bit confused. So as it sets with my pouchs being 2" longer than they are wide will they pass Lancer? I have a very long torso so I thought I'd post this up and see what I got. This is one topic that I tend to get lost on. The crl says size them to you larger to larger small to smaller. So where do we set on a actually size? Do we go with longer ones for us taller folk or stick with the 6"x7"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BikerScout007 Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 This one IS tough. Most people's pouches look wrong to me, including my own which I think are slightly too big. A 2 inch difference between width and height seems a little extreme to me. Just to reiterate what you said, the pouch should fit between the bottom of your chest armor and the top of your belt WHEN THE BELT IS WORN ON YOUR WAIST. A lot of people don't know where their waist is, but if wear your belt over your belly button you're pretty much there. Let's look at some movie stills. A lot of times the pouch hangs over the belt a bit: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stroker Posted April 5, 2016 Author Share Posted April 5, 2016 See Mickey that's the problem I ran into and was one of the reason I held back on Lancer for so long. My current pouches are 6" x7" and around 2" thick. I tried and tried different things I dropped the chest which wasn't by much do to height. Still I had a huge gap between the belt and pouchs. You hit the nail on the head about how pouchs look. It drives me nuts! I've spent so much time researching the Biker scout till it's not funny. That's the last problem on my list and I have no clue as to how to make it look right. I can't go wider because I'm not that broad. So I'm stuck with a rectangl. Any more in put I'm all ears.

BikerScout007 Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 I'm guessing the movie pouches are 5x6x2. A lot of the scouts were not that tall. I met Dickey Beer and I'm a good 4 or 5 inches taller than he is. My current pouches I think are the same dimensions as yours and they just seem a little too long. Do you have any pics of you suited up that we can look at? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retrofire Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 This one boggles me too. I'm 5'9" and I have a shorter length between the bottom of my front armor and my belt so my pouches look a bit too small to me but yet the fit the gap. I too want a shot at Lancer but I think I'm going to need to have my pouches redone before I put in my request. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stroker Posted April 5, 2016 Author Share Posted April 5, 2016 Peter just get everything in order and go for it! I wish I wouldn't have got off track with my other costumes. I'm going and I'm gonna make it bottom line! Heres a pic. The top of the belts set over my belly button and the belt is even with the bottom of the bund. 6'5" 185 that's my stats.

BikerScout007 Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 Belt looks low to me though. Do you have one piece bund/cod? Or separated? Bund is probably too long Pouches look good to me! I think you just need to bring up your belt to meet them and you'll be spot on 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stroker Posted April 6, 2016 Author Share Posted April 6, 2016 Yes the bund was too long. It came way up on my chest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BikerScout007 Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 Yeah your pouches look good. I think the problem is the bund is too long. If you can pull up your belt to meet the bottom of the pouches you are all good. But if you have bund sticking out under the belt after doing that then yeah you need a shorter bund. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
