Strider Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 That looks great and I think it's as good as you can possibly get it until we know which material they used inside. IMO they used a straight cut which only appeared curved because it was slightly bend. Unfortunately none of the materials I've experimented with so far (buckram, foam, plastic, etc.) were able to do the trick. Cheers 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought otherwise until I made several. It was an interesting experiment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bikerscout73 Posted September 15, 2016 Share Posted September 15, 2016 I think your old pouches look more proportional to your body the new look really small 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobik96 Posted April 2, 2017 Author Share Posted April 2, 2017 I slipped back into OCD mode and remade my pouches again. They went from too large then too small. These are in between. 5 1/2 x 6 x 2. I'm happy with them but think maybe 5 1/2 x 6 x 2 1/2. Would be better LOL. Yes my belt slid down about an inch. I'm replacing belt Velcro today. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M.J Posted April 3, 2017 Share Posted April 3, 2017 Jason, Well done... I have been making quite a few with the New Cod Piece. I'm loving the fact its not attached so you can experiment. Pockets are my Achilles heel, a love hate relationship. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobik96 Posted April 4, 2017 Author Share Posted April 4, 2017 Thanks! They are tricky. I made several errors along the way, like twice closing the Velcro up inside the pocket flap. Fortunately I made the pouch and flap separate pieces. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retrofire Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 Jason I really like how you sized the pouches to your body type. Did you base your initial measurement on the pouch template here or did you make your own? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M.J Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 Jason that dam Velcro...yeah it does do ya head in making sure its the right way around before sewing the thing together. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mostly did that so that if I messed it up I didn't have to make the whole thing again. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
