We all started with the first step!   Welcome, we are here for you

Welcome Toby! Make sure to do your homework if you’re planning to print your armor. Not all vendors sell files that are approvable. If you have any questions or want to run anything by the armory team prior to purchasing where here for you.

I have files from Galactic Armory, and I do believe they have been updated & sliced for a X1. Boot's just stump me; shoes wide enough were hard but boots for me are almost impossible so any help will be appreciated.

A DIY boot build will likely be your best bet, but the challenge will be finding boots with a solid wheat colored sole as opposed to a two tone sole.  They’re becoming scarce.  

Your major boot brands are likely to have wide options, but if you’re a EE then that’s adding another layer to the challenge.

These Cat’s are available in a wide.  They’re pricey, but still under what you’d pay for a pair made by CrowProps. The vinyl will run about $25 and the E6000 maybe $10.

If those don’t work because you need an EE, then you may need to find something that fits with an acceptable sole and then paint the sole wheat colored.  We can help with that, as scouts have done that before.

The tutorial to make your own boots is here:

Read the template on making the vest, are there patterns for the patches don't want to waste material.  Should the pouches be removeable or is that a personal choice

I like Jen Markham's idea of stashing with snacks in the pouch

[Aradun]

Patterns for the pouches along with a tutorial can be found d here:

Removable or attached is a matter of preference. Either way will work.

Read this post about the riding patches pattern:

The only additional recommendation I would make is to round the top corners of the riding patches, vs a hard 90 degree edge.

Dennis'  Scout wip has been a great resource for list of materials 

I have some different idea about alt choices to batting 🤔 to tryout on a smaller scale ⚖️
