Soft parts patterns?


Recommended Posts

Im not old enough to join yet but I want to eventually have a ROTJ biker scout and dont want to spend $200+ on a flight suit but I cant seem to find any patterns. Does anybody know of any?

The flight suit is not something that is typically made from scratch.  Most folks buy a set of coveralls and then modify them by adding the riding patches.  Coveralls generally run in the $30-$40 range.

That's something people do all the time, especially the ladies.  You can check out the WIP threads for examples.  This one in particular may be useful to you

I should note, you only need to appear to be wearing a flight suit from the outside once you have all your gear on.  You can probably buy a Dickies Work Jacket and Pants and modify them as needed.

I got a quick question and didn't want to start a new thread for it, Im researching soft parts now is this the kind of suede people get?

If not what do people get - trying to stay in a budget since armor is expensive
