syllander Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 I have a tie pilot FS from WW that I had the legs taken in on. Guess removing the pockets would be pretty easy to do, so I could really just repurpose this suit, correct? Other then sourcing the suede and getting that stitched on, is there anything else I'd need to do for the undersuit to fit the part for scout? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmmtoastyboy Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 If you have the one pictured on the website, you have remove all the crazy pockets on the arms and legs. all you need to add is the suede mud flap, riding patch and the thigh straps. Save the pockets in case you need to add something else just in case. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stasz Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 Yes, you can use a pocket to make the mandarin collar neck flap closure which is also required. *edit - just realized if it's a TIE flight suit it probably already has that neck flap.

syllander Posted July 25, 2016 Author Share Posted July 25, 2016 The back of the neck is pointy on the Tie from WW. Not sure if this Ned's to be cut down or have the neck material replaced. Where do you guys get your suede from? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where do you guys get your suede from? Tandy Leather is a good source for suede. The TIE collar point might be a deal breaker for Lancer, but I doubt anyone would kick up a fuss over it for basic. Practically under the bucket, and black on black with the balaclava should make it very discreet. Might want to check with your GML though to be sure. That being said, I don't think it would be terribly difficult to lop it off and stitch 'er back up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
syllander Posted July 25, 2016 Author Share Posted July 25, 2016 That's kinda what I was thinking(lopping off part). I could get my tailor to straighten it out. Is there a pattern available for the thigh patch? Or do folks just wing it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
