I definitely LOL'd

Wow, you guys are totally awesome. With all of your insight, I can definitely go into this mission well armed with the knowledge I need to do this right. I'm pretty sure I wouldn't use the sewing everything on method after you broke it all down Zero but if I do sew something on, I'll get it right. Thanks again for all your help and your time!

Hi Eric, it's more of a nylon spandex, Lycra is says. It's not the thick squishy kind

I'll definitely stay tuned, thanks Zero. Geordie, I'm looking to do this a little different than the usual setup. I admit, there are some pretty great ways to do this that I've seen across the board from you guys and I will definitely revert back to one of those setups if what I'm after doesn't seem to be feasible. It's just that I'm at the point now where it's time for me to set my armor up for trooping and everytime I think about how I want to do it, this idea keeps popping up first. If it can work, I'd be able to suit up in moments and not once have to worry about armor shifting or falling off no matter what I'm doing. I know it would look great because it would be another set up that shows no straps and such. I am aware that there are other ways to do this that also show no straps but I'd truely like to be able to attach each piece of armor with velcro or snaps directly onto the undersuit. If each piece is formed and fitted properly, this would allow a much greater range of flexibility.

Hey guys, I've got a great undersuit (a thin wetsuit) that looks small but manages to stretch for me to fit into it snuggly. I'm pretty sure that's how these wet suits are supposed to be: But what I would like to do is sew velcro onto the suit to attach my armor pieces to. I'm only worried about whether or not this will actually work since the suit stretches. I'm assuming it will attempt to stretch while putting it on but that the stitching of the sewn on velcro will resist the stretch and rip the suit. If any of you guys our there are the sewing type with any feedback on this idea, please share your knowledge. Thanks! Alternately, is there a safe way to install button snaps on a stretchy wet suit?
