Perfect diagram, Michael, thanks for linking! Do you know if anyone has created similar for the legs and arms? Tom, Joseph, thanks for your feedback. Y'all have convinced me that backing is absolutely key if I want to use elastic for a more flexible fit. I've already bought knit elastic, unfortunately, and since I'm doing this as pre-work, it would be impossible to get proper measurements anyway. At least I got the nicer tandy snaps already! My goal is to be left with a half a hope of having wearable armor by the premier if Anovos manages to ship out early enough. Probably a lost cause, but I'll be ready!

I plan to prepare a diagram with photos of how I end up assembling my snap plates and straps. Joseph, did you back your elastic straps with nylon, or is the strap straight through the nylon alone? It looks like you used straight nylon everywhere else, right?

Fantastic photos, Joseph, thank you very much! Not exactly what I was hoping to hear wrt to elastic, but I'd rather go in with my eyes open .

Hi, New member here! I got in on the recent Anovos buy, and trying to get in on some build action while waiting for my kit to arrive. I'd like to begin doing some prep work applying snaps to snap plates and one side of the straps, but I need some direction. I've settled on elastic rather than nylon unless someone talks me out of it. Does anyone have a diagram of all the strap locations? How many do I need total? Is there a strap length range I can keep in mind- for example, maybe get feedback from a tall wearer and a short wearer? Is velcro worth it? When used, how big does it have to be for single or for double snap method? Is the nylon webbing backing necessary when using velcro? For the snap plates, is it worth backing the elastic with nylon webbing? Does it have to be sewn together or just fasten it all with the snap front and back without sewing?
