That's fantastic looking! Good job m8

Thanks.

Sokol, I like the CCCs. What mods did you do to the tiger stripe other than the zipper and added pockets?

 

[Sokol]

The tigerstripes started as BDUs, so they got a plenty of stuff on them.

The jacket has angled chest pockets, sleeve pockets with velcro, all four frontal pockets have added velcro securing so I won't have to deal with buttons, then there's the waist and hem shock cord cinch straps. Then there's the hood, collar swapped for a plain one, sleeve tightening straps swapped for velcro from button closure, and pit zips. Probably missing something.

The pants have had calf pockets made, knee pad holders added, d-rings added on each side on the waist, and the blousing grossgrain cord swapped for shockcord and locks so it can look good even when loose.

Finished product of my LBT 6094

3D printed first spear tube

Custom mount for TT ROP

Cobra Buckle

Wearing it not much to say

Customized the shoulder pads for comms and hydro

 

[Sokol]

That's a pretty cool plate carrier, I got to say. You know, people would probably pay for the 3D printed FS tubes. I know people already buy FS tubes retrofit kits to tear off the tubes off them, for mounting on JPCs.

Royits, that looks good, the only thing I could say is use heavier thread, I'm not sure but it looks to me that you used a rather light thread which may be an issue for longevity. I use T69 or #69 thread and it hold up perfectly. Also you may want to bar tack in what might be high stress issues like where the ROP attachment is.

Here's a few raid tops I did

I'm also working on some cool new dog stuff, and I'm considering making my own rig for MSW.

 

[Royits]

Yeah it wasn't the heaviest duty so I went back and forth over it a TON to compensate. In multiple years of use its held up fine so good enough

 

[TheLockenator]

I understand that, I did that when I modded my chicom to have molle, but it would be faster and more effective to use heavier thread, also if your machine has a zig-zag stich setting, give it a few passes with that, really heals with the weight bearing. Idk where I saw it, maybe in this thread, but bartacking(zig-zag) is something like 2-5 times stronger. Just my 2 cents.

I've been working on a set of custom combat pants for my self in dcu, just gotta get some black lycra/elastic material.I'll post what I have here once I have more progress.

 

[TheLockenator]

So I made my own chest rig. Came out really well and I'm very pleased. Im going to be making a kangaroo insert or maybe a dangler type pouch for it. Next I'm going for an MC arid plate carrier with elastic cummerbund and molle.

Learned to sew when I was young... Interested in picking it up a sewing machine and working on some bdus/gear. What kind of machine should I be looking for to handle this stuff?

 

[TheLockenator]

I use a singer 4411 a lot of people knock the new stuff, and I agree with them, but with the right needle and thread I also have no issue going through 3-4 layers of molle webbing or 6 layers of 500d. For bdus you'd have no issue

 

[Sugarfree]

Alright thanks! I'll be looking around for that or something similar.

 

[Razinger]

Who can I find that creates quality patches and ships easy?

Idk if it's still going on, but Amazon had a deaal on it so it was only about 130 shipped

Who can I find that creates quality patches and ships easy?

There's a guy on facebook his name is something to the effect of Dillon Longenecker.

 

[TheLockenator]

Here's my new plate carrier project. I can already tell it'll be too small, but it's going well. Thinking I may give this to my cousin. I may also make myself one in mc tropic since I have an abundant supply.

How much would it cost for you to make Blue force gear style mag pouches?

 

[TheLockenator]

How much would it cost for you to make Blue force gear style mag pouches?

They aren't cheap for anyone to make other than the manufacturer them self because you have to have hypalon for the resistance and hypalon is expensive. If you could get hypalon in the color you want, it wouldn't be too hard or expensive to make

 

[milsim_gains]

Alright ill see if i can find some

Hi guys!
New camo patterns and fashion are kinky, but what about old school stuff?

I`m sewing repros of early EI and LBT such as AIII, 1195, 0990 and 1879 for reenactors.
