Breaking It Down…
UPDATE: This process was a complete disaster. I have gone in a totally different direction. If you’d like to skip to the newer version, please click here. Otherwise, continue with this version to find out what NOT to do.
Current standard practice for making your own Flak Vest is to use a plain t-shirt to create the pattern…
I started by putting on the Flight Suit, and then put the t-shirt on. I then added my Chest/Back Armor and marked the edges using a white crayon. I also added the Shoulder Bells and marked the bottom edge.
After removing the shirt and laying it flat on a table, it looks a bit “off” to me. The sleeves don’t seem to line up very well. Maybe I need to do some more research on this…
