batninja Posted February 1, 2015 Report Share Posted February 1, 2015 I'm at the stage where I'm read to start connecting the completed pieces to each other, but I wanted to get some verification of whether to use elastic or webbing, and if there are standard widths associated with these straps. What are the common or acceptable widths for these pieces? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gazmosis[501st] Posted February 1, 2015 Report Share Posted February 1, 2015 Chest to back connection over the shoulder can be either white elastic or webbing same width as ribbed shoulder bridges Top of shoulder bells should be 3/4 width elastic Around bicep at bottom of shoulder bell 3/4 width elastic Forearm to bicep. 1 1/2- 2 inch width elastic Belt box white 3/4 width elastic or webbing is fine Garter connections should be wider to support the thighs can be webbing or elastic. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justjoseph63[Staff] Posted February 6, 2015 Report Share Posted February 6, 2015 (edited) Thanks for converting everything to inches, gazmosis! Locitus has a GREAT post with all the measurements, but, alas, we in the U.S. have not fully embraced the metric system yet. Perhaps some intrepid American TK could translate his entire list in one place. Edited February 6, 2015 by justjoseph63 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It might be useful to you at another time too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
