Flak Vest how long is too long

[M.J]

Hi ya Guys and Girls,

 

I have a trooper waiting for approval, and was told his flak vest sleeves are too long, he is short lad.

 

Unsure I looked at others on the forum and I couldn't see much difference.

 

So you could you give me a hand tell me how much this sleeves need to be taken up.

 

Please note in the photo his right bell is stuck on up.. so go by his left sleeve

 

Cheers ..and thank you for looking

ps yeah we know about the strips on the boots

A good rule of thumb is "just past" the bottom of the shoulder bell... No more than an inch

Yup

 

Those sleeves could easily lose an inch in length. It's not a big deal, just roll them up inside the sleeve and stitch it. Easy.

Thanks Guys!

You could also loose a tiny bit of the flare also, to get the sleeves a little bit more fitted. Again an easy inside out stitch

If you go by this photo I'd say they're close to screen accurate.

 

I do agree that they need to be tightened up though.
