Retrofire Posted October 26, 2021 Share Posted October 26, 2021 Just remember that less is more in this case. You can always remove extra material but adding it back is really difficult😉 Take your time and be patient. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buddygus Posted April 22, 2023 Author Share Posted April 22, 2023 Ok. I am thinking of getting the vest and cummerbund/cod/pouch set from KriptonTop on Etsy. Anyone have any experience with them? Does their stuff meet approval specs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buddygus Posted April 24, 2023 Author Share Posted April 24, 2023 Broke down and ordered from Kriptontop. Just not enough time to build this stuff out. Those should be the last pieces I need. I am currently in the process of moving from Japan back to the states and hope to get everything in and submitted for approval by the end of summer. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retrofire Posted April 24, 2023 Share Posted April 24, 2023 Sounds like you're moving along fine. As you're heading back to the states this might be a good time to reach out to the local Garrison in the state where you're landing in. If it's Carolina it would be the Carolina Garrison here: http://www.carolinagarrison.net/ If somewhere else in the US you can find them on the map here and go directly to their site: https://www.501st.com/maps/imagemap-northamerica.php I wish you the safest of journey's as you move and please let us know if we can be of service to you!

Buddygus Posted April 24, 2023 Author Share Posted April 24, 2023 Thanks for the suggestion, Retrofire. I will be in Virginia, just outside of DC. I will get in touch with them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buddygus Posted July 5, 2023 Author Share Posted July 5, 2023 Soft goods from Kriptontop have finally shipped. I am settled in now in VA and in contact with the garrison here. I still need to but the suede flap on the butt of my flightsuit, and then start assembling for corrective suggestions. Getting excited.
