mikemakesmovies Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 So I'm gearing up to start my scout and I'm going to be shooting for lancer. I was planning on getting a redkap suit and then modifying it, however, I have a particularly small build but it also somewhat tall. So in order to make it semi fitted I would need to bring it in a bunch and it's enough to cause some sewing issues that I won't have the skill to problem solve like other parts. I have a grey redkap for an abandoned mando that I test fitted again today but really baggy. I can get dickies work pants that would be my size and if they needed fitting would be much easier than a one piece suit but if for lancer it needs to be a one-piece I'll go that route.

Chopper Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 Hey dude, for Lancer you will definitely need a one piece coverall. Have you looked into local tailors to try and get some quotes on alterations? You could also throw the coveralls on and show us some photos first, so we can provide some additional guidance. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikemakesmovies Posted July 24, 2018 Author Share Posted July 24, 2018 Once I get the black flight suit in I'll post some pics. I was able to find it in a better size so hopefully, that'll help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrPoopie Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 I have a 2 piece and made Lancer without any issues. It's all about how everything is constructed and held together. My pants are higher and go to mid stomach and have suspenders attached to keep them from falling. My jacket also comes all the way down and is held in place and covered correctly by the bund and vest. The original reason for the 2 piece was also because I'm very slender and just under 6 foot. This means the coveralls never fit my size and were either way too baggy or too small. I wasn't even able to get the shoulder on with the overalls that were my size. This led to cutting everything in half and altering it to fit my build. I honestly wouldn't recommend this to anyone who doesn't do their own sewing or have someone personal who will sew it for them. It took a lot of on/off and remeasuring to get everything right. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
