BikerScoutAlexx Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 Hey guys, I'm looking at making my own cummerbund however I had a couple questions. Does anyone have a pattern for it? Aslo which materials are acceptable I've heard duck canvas? If some one could chime in would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chopper Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 Here's a good set of tips from a previous post about the bund pattern: On 7/24/2018 at 10:36 AM, BikerScout007 said: There was a pattern floating around here at one time, but it's probably very out of date. The cummerbund is fairly simple, it's just a long rectangle with no tapering. You want it to be between 8-10 inches high (10 inches at the absolute most), so that the pouches fit squarely on it with maybe a little bit of slack to tuck into your belt. The movie ones seemed to be about 8 inches high and stopped right at the belt. The length of it depends on your own size. In the center go six lines of stitching, 1 inch apart, to create the 5 raised ribs. You will want to put batting between the two layers of fabric to give them dimension. The closure is 2 inch velcro. The cummerbund must close right-over-left. That's really all there is to it. It's a very simple garment, which probably explains why there is no pattern for it As for the materials, Level 1 of the CRL only calls for "white fabric" for the bund and cod. However, Level 2 calls for smooth white cotton fabric. Polished cotton or mercerized cotton is preferred, but at a minimum, smooth white cotton fabric. Canvas or duck cloth is not permitted for the bund and cod. Your pouches should be made of canvas-type material (e.g., duck cloth). Hope that helps! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any known patterns for the cod piece that you are aware of? Otherwise that's perfect thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
