That first thread that's supposed to show recommended armor vendors is coming up on 16 years old. I have to imagine a lot has changed, some vendors have retired, there are new vendors out there. It would be helpful if there was an update, or a whole new thread of armor vendors. That said, it's very overwhelming. I have no idea where to start. If I try to save money and get untrimmed pieces what tools will I need?

I’m actually in the market for a set of armor, I just need to find a cost effective way to acquire it. I don’t own any special DIY stuff other than a 3d printer. No vacuum forming equipment. So I’m hoping to find a vendor that will sell something pretty close to authorized armor so I don’t have to do much alterations to make it official. But yeah, I’m ready to join the empire.

That’s really cool. I don’t really know what to do with it. I might frame it or something. I’d feel weird wearing it, like stolen valor. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

You have some beautiful countryside! I would love to visit some day and see the highlands.

Hi all from Chico, CA. I figured after skulking various subreddits over the past ten years or so I’d finally take the first steps in being a part of this community. Honestly the kicker was my wife buying me someone’s vest she found at a thrift shop. That vest has a lot of history and I hoped to find the person it belongs to, or if they are no longer with us find out who they were. I don’t feel I have the right to wear it so I’d like to find another way to return it to use. The photos are too big to share here but I’ll gladly share with anyone wanting to see them. There are patches dated 2006 to 2011, marked FISD.
