Armor or Other Soft Parts?

[Kegluneq]

I am currently working on my Jumpsuit (Kolossus Workwear, pics and review when done) and am planning my next steps.  From what I've read the boots should be an inch or so below the knee armor and the cummerbund should fill the area between the chest armor and the belt, and the cod piece below of course.

So going off of that info should I get my hard armor pieces ordered and completed first before tackling the other soft parts?

In part 3 he states that the ideal measurement is from the bottom of your foot to an inch below the knee armor. So I should get my jumpsuit done, my (knee) armor set and then do the boots?

Short answer, yes. Measuring the soft parts off the hard ones is ideal. That way you know how wide and long different parts need to be to fit your body.

Also note for the boot tutorial linked above, please use white thread for the stitching, not brown.

Agreed with the above. The jumpsuit can be done and even the flak vest and cummerbund but the boots you should wait for until you actually get the armour. At the most, you could do the toe covering for the boots and save the barrel/upper until you get your armour fitted.

Typical measurements for the 'bund are from your nipple to the top of your hipbone (while seated). Flak vest sleeves can always be taken in and adjusted once you get your shoulder bells.

I just edited the tutorial to make a note of this.
