Ratchet[TK] Posted February 1, 2014 Report Share Posted February 1, 2014 The CRL states "If silk or satin gloves are worn, the hand plates shall have the correct visible stitching pattern using black cotton, with a five point/star pattern, equally spread out with 2 on each side and 1 in the middle front, and needs to be double stitched at each point. " I was thinking would it be acceptable to stitch the hand guards to elastic straps rather than the silk glove itself? Thoughts and feedback please!!!

gazmosis[501st] Posted February 1, 2014 Report Share Posted February 1, 2014 That just sounds like much more work than just stitching it right to th glove Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
troopermaster Posted February 1, 2014 Report Share Posted February 1, 2014 Sewing directly to the glove is better, but I have done them another way too. You glue the straps inside the hand plate as you want, then drill the holes for stitching and sew loops to mimic the look. That way, you get the look of them being sewn on without them actually being sewn on. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what I was working towards, just not sure if it has any real benefit as you say Gazmosis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
