Wow, a lot of awesome feedback on my 1st post. This is great. Thanks everyone.
Thanks Joseph for the great advise and examples. I will definitely trim the return edge in those areas and probably some others. Thanks also Matt.
Jordan, I believe I know what your saying. After I read your comment I keep thinking "respect the armor". To me this means treating it with the care and caution that was used when taking out on BBB day when measuring and making cuts.
Thanks again guys, I'll be posting some sizing pics soon.
