Hikuro1983 Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 I'm having some issues getting this particular bit figured out for my coveralls as it's pretty much the final step I need to finish. Is there any kind of pattern to go off of on this thing or what? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chopper Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 I don't have an exact pattern, but Mickey posted some detailed pictures here. Apologies if you're already seen the link. http://forum.501stpathfinders.com/index.php?/topic/19259-undersuit-mods/ I tested out any paper patterns I sketched by first by cutting them out of an old pair of jeans. That way I didn't waste the suede. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheesewhoopy Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 This is the pattern I use if that helps give you an idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read it, it just didn't help me so much in knowing the basic shape at all which was what I needed. 2 hours ago, cheesewhoopy said: This is the pattern I use if that helps give you an idea. And THAT is what I kind of wanted. Finding out the basic shape. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheesewhoopy Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 I’m pretty sure I still have the paper pattern I used. I can take some measurements if you’d like. It varies depending on your height, but might help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chopper Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 I knew there was a pattern referenced in an older thread -- check here for some additional pattern images: http://forum.501stpathfinders.com/index.php?/topic/15973-new-riding-patch-templates/&tab=comments#comment-143785 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hikuro1983 Posted September 23, 2018 Author Share Posted September 23, 2018 that works out, gives me a good idea where the placement needs to be and the shape. now the issue is getting off my butt and doing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank75139 Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 I have been working on these patches forever. Finally came up with a pattern that works. This is what they look like. Measurements will probably be different for everyone depending on leg size. These are like 18.5” at the widest, and 17.5” tall at the tip. I’ve got larger legs so these work. Basically I had my wife help and she used an old fabric and we kind of traced it out while it was on me then traced that onto the suede and cut it then hemmed the edges. Next I need to find a seamstress to sew it. My wife thinks it’s above her level and doesn’t want to mess it up.

BikerScout007 Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 In the film, the suede patches were 4 separate pieces. The pictures I posted here show how it was done: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would’ve saved me a lot of headache. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aliaz Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 The 4 piece solution works great! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
