Bob Fortuna Posted January 9, 2020 Posted January 9, 2020 I can't seem to find any vendors for the flak vest part of the soft goods. Any ideas where I can find one? Preferably in the United States. 1 Quote

Bob Fortuna Posted January 9, 2020 Author Posted January 9, 2020 I would do that if I had a sewing machine and the know how. Quote

Chopper Posted January 9, 2020 Posted January 9, 2020 Steph Mortimer makes them using the t-shirt method and is in the US. Otherwise, not a whole lot of US-based options. https://m.facebook.com/groups/1517600621664236?group_view_referrer=profile_browser While not in the US, there's KriptonTop on Etsy. He makes really nice flak vests. Just make absolutely sure to select FedEx shipping. https://www.etsy.com/listing/251067728/star-wars-biker-scout-trooper-vest-flak?ref=shop_home_active_1&crt=1 1 Quote
ScottF Posted January 9, 2020 Posted January 9, 2020 KriptonTop on Etsy sells all soft parts. I got my flak vest from there. Shipping was expensive but it looks great. 1 Quote
mmmtoastyboy Posted January 9, 2020 Posted January 9, 2020 Yikes, don't pay that much for the vest. Find an armor party and see if someone can bring a sewing machine and follow that shirt tutorial. 1 Quote
Bob Fortuna Posted January 9, 2020 Author Posted January 9, 2020 I am going to look into a budget sewing machine and probably do the t-shirt method. Quote
mmmtoastyboy Posted January 9, 2020 Posted January 9, 2020 Mine cost less than $100. I use it a lot. 1 Quote
nsbuff28 Posted January 9, 2020 Posted January 9, 2020 So I did the t-shirt method and once I had it in the right size I pulled it apart and used it as a template to make one out of thicker material. I’m pretty rough on my stuff when I get dressed and it is holding strong! 1 Quote
nsbuff28 Posted January 10, 2020 Posted January 10, 2020 Here is mine after I used the t-shirt one as a template. You can see I kept the sleeves from my t-shirt one. The photo is before I fixed the Velcro on the front lolSent from my iPad using Tapatalk 1 Quote
Bob Fortuna Posted January 10, 2020 Author Posted January 10, 2020 Thanks man I appreciate the photo. Definitely will help when I make one. Quote
nsbuff28 Posted January 10, 2020 Posted January 10, 2020 I might have some in progress photos that might help I’ll see if I can find them. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk 1 Quote
