silverBoyd[501st] Posted May 26, 2012 Report Share Posted May 26, 2012 (edited) Got some white canvas at the local fabric store. ---- Since I'm going Sandy, I don't want the shoulder straps to look clean. I decided to take some of the material and soak it in a tea bath for 1 1/2 hours. The result was pretty cool. I'll iron the canvas, sew the edges, add heavy duty snaps & attach them to my chest and back armor. I think it will look nice once I get the rest of my armor dirty. May also add some good 'ole dirt onto it and once it dries...rub it off Edited January 18, 2022 by gmrhodes13 link not working removed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
troopermaster Posted May 26, 2012 Report Share Posted May 26, 2012 Shoulder straps are made from elastic - not canvas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P3laton3[501st] Posted June 15, 2012 Report Share Posted June 15, 2012 (edited) I painted the elastic band, and doesn't look so bad ----------- Edited January 18, 2022 by gmrhodes13 link not working removed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
