Chopper Posted August 24, 2023 Share Posted August 24, 2023 Thank you again for your application. Overall, an excellent Lancer submission, we only have a few items to note. Below is the feedback from the review team: Butt flap. Needs to be trimmed to better match the CRL and reference photos. It's an approximate, but it looks like you should trim about 2 inches on the bottom and maybe 1 inch on each side. You might want to mark the cuts in chalk first and give us a look, before cutting. Codpiece. The cod curve he has is more like a chevron vs the curve on the screen used codpieces. That should be adjusted to match more appropriately. Optional items to update outside of the application: Shoulder bells: The screen used bells were fairly large on the actors, but you might want to trim each edge on the bell by 5-10mm to make them slightly smaller on your kit. Please let us know if you have any questions or need any further clarification. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaiserintheHood Posted August 25, 2023 Author Share Posted August 25, 2023 Thank you for the feedback. I'll start with an inch off the butt flap and see how that looks. And for the cod, the stitching is in fact a curve the entire way? It had been my understanding that it was two straight lines connected with a filet in the middle. I'll make adjustments this weekend and send new pictures. Will you want a full suit up again or will just wearing flightsuit and cummerbund/cod suffice?

Chopper Posted August 25, 2023 Share Posted August 25, 2023 The stitching on the cod is not a true curve, but it's not a chevron either. Look at the comparison photo between your cod and the screen cod, below. The arc is more gradual. I also think that the straight sides of your cod are limiting how much space you have to sew the curve, but you should be able to work with what you have. For your update photos, we don't need a full suit up. Flight suit, cod, bund, and belt will suffice. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaiserintheHood Posted August 25, 2023 Author Share Posted August 25, 2023 New adjustments made to the cod and butt flap. Cod I think definitely looks better. Butt flap I ended up trimming 1.5 inches off the bottom and a 1/2 inch off both sides. Thank you for your expertise and have a great weekend!Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chopper Posted August 26, 2023 Share Posted August 26, 2023 Thank you. The cod looks much better now. You might want to steam it a bit to get out the indent from the prior stitching, but that's not an issue for the application. As for the butt flap, we think that you still need to trim another 1" from the bottom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaiserintheHood Posted August 26, 2023 Author Share Posted August 26, 2023 Excellent. I had steamed the stitches very lightly which helped, I don’t want to do too much and melt the batting inside. I’m hoping the rest of the indent rubs out over time. Here is the butt flap with an addition inch taken off.
