drache Posted October 9, 2016 Share Posted October 9, 2016 Had my first outing with my new armor at NYCC this weekend. Had a great time. Crew from the Empire City Garrison was there - they were awesome. One observation - my cummerbund started out tight - but got looser during the day (from heat and movement) - I felt like most of the afternoon I had to pull it up. Anyone use suspenders / make suspenders with their cummberbund as a solution? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PropReplicator2 Posted October 9, 2016 Share Posted October 9, 2016 I use 2 long elastic strings. Another idea could be using thin suspenders from Walmart or something affixed to the inside of your scout chest armor.

Canterbury Tail Posted October 9, 2016 Share Posted October 9, 2016 Some put velcro on the inside of their cummerbund and attach it to their flight suit. Not yet finished by uniform but this feels like it should help, especially if you have things in your pouches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried that and it tends to rip off if you carry anything heavy in your Cummberband pockets such as a bulky phone or change:(...

tk1234 Posted October 9, 2016 Share Posted October 9, 2016 Sew in two 1" black cotton webbing to the top of the CB. The vest hides the webbing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StoutScout Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 I just added a part to my build thread that shows what I'm doing to prevent the sag. I haven't trooped with this setup yet, but walking around the house it seems to stay put. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southscout Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 I have two pieces of velcro on the front of the vest, and two pieces on the back. The bund stays put without any issues. Skickat från min Nexus 6P via Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dart Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 My 'bund is sewn to my vest. No problems there. I also have a velcro tab that sticks to the inside of the chest armour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
