since the Star wars costume book came out with pics with the internal strapping things have changed from what I used to use. It was really up to artistic interpretation and what was said by people trying to remember all those years ago before......
Paul's strapping is pretty spot on although I have not seen evidence of poppers under the shoulder straps except on tour suits? If this is the case and Paul has seen this first hand, who am I to argue... I always thought they were secured with velcro under the bridges.
I love all the new discoveries and that's what keeps this hobby fun........
