How much of a return edge do I need?


Recommended Posts

I wore my armor for the first time this weekend.  I won't post pics yet, as I need to clean up a few areas first (some minor wardrobe malfunctions).

 

However, it was mentioned at All-Con that I could trim some of the existing AM return edge on the major pieces (chest, abdomen, kidney, butt, back) for a better fit as I'm a larger guy.  AM has a generous 1/4"-3-8" return edge on all these pieces.

 

If I decided to trim this, what's the minimum edge I should keep, if any at all?

A minimum of 2-3 mm is what I would call it at if you still want the look they provide of "thick armour" rather than just plastic sheets. Keep the bottom of the chest a little larger if you like as it looks better and doesn't' risk pinching any body parts.
