Chopper Posted July 12, 2022 Posted July 12, 2022 Thank you for your application Brien. The team has started their review and will get back to you with any comments. 1
Chopper Posted July 15, 2022 Posted July 15, 2022 Thanks again for your patience, Brien. The Lancer review team has gone through your application and we have the following comments for you: Shoulder bells are arched back. You might need to trim the chest armor front side shoulder bridge a little bit, which would even it out. Before trimming anything, try overlapping the front and back armor bridges to determine the correct positioning. We'd like better photos of the detonator cap indent -- maybe with a ruler or flat surface on top? We can't make out much of an indent with the current photos. There appears to be a white edge line on your suede patches? Is that leftover chalk? If not, you can get some Fieblings leather dye to get rid of the white edging. Lower knee strap appears to be 1" instead of 1/2" or 3/4" as per the CRL Boot dogbones extend onto the sole portion of the boot and need to be trimmed. As per the CRL: "Dogbone ends above the toe strip on both sides." The entire review team wants to commend you on a tremendous application -- you really did an exceptional job with your build. Just a few small things to address. Please let us know if you have any questions or any clarifications.

Chest armor shoulder bridges trimmed down ~3/4"-1", the shoulder bells are now parallel with my arms and biceps, front/sides/back below: On 7/15/2022 at 6:01 AM, Chopper said: We'd like better photos of the detonator cap indent -- maybe with a ruler or flat surface on top? We can't make out much of an indent with the current photos. Sure thing. Here you go: On 7/15/2022 at 6:01 AM, Chopper said: There appears to be a white edge line on your suede patches? Is that leftover chalk? If not, you can get some Fieblings leather dye to get rid of the white edging. There was a white line, yes. I dyed the edges as requested (I did not dye the top of the buttflap, as it is covered by the belt): On 7/15/2022 at 6:01 AM, Chopper said: Lower knee strap appears to be 1" instead of 1/2" or 3/4" as per the CRL Right again - I totally spaced on this one. I even quoted the CRL in my application. D'oh! Lower knee straps redone to 3/4": On 7/15/2022 at 6:01 AM, Chopper said: Boot dogbones extend onto the sole portion of the boot and need to be trimmed. As per the CRL: "Dogbone ends above the toe strip on both sides." Dogbones trimmed to end at/above the toe strip per the CRL:
