Sonnenschein Posted June 17, 2015 Report Share Posted June 17, 2015 (edited) Sorry, I can't tell from the pics. I have the following questions: a ) Loops. Like on the thigh elastic, it appears to be just glued. Is that so? b )Folds. Like on the shin elastic. To my eyes, it's just folded over and the the hook is sewn by hand, but the fold is NOT sewn on. The same goes for the shoulder elastic. Make the folds, and then saw the snap. Thanks!

Locitus[Admin] Posted June 17, 2015 Report Share Posted June 17, 2015 The thigh loops looks to be sewn, to me. Might even be a cross pattern stitch (which would make sense since it's elastic). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The5thHorseman[TK] Posted June 17, 2015 Report Share Posted June 17, 2015 (edited) Shins straps seem unseen indeed: But the shoulder straps are definitely sewn at the end: For the thighs, the strap is looped and sewn at the top and then glued directly to the thigh armor: Edit: The chest strap seems unsewn though: Edited June 17, 2015 by The5thHorseman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonnenschein Posted June 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2015 (edited) Thanks guys! This helps a lot! So I really have to borrow a sewing machine. Edit: Re: shoulder straps, where exactly are the stitches to be made? Edited June 17, 2015 by Sonnenschein Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
troopermaster Posted June 17, 2015 Report Share Posted June 17, 2015 What you are seeing on the shoulder bell straps is an alteration. The strap was obviously too long and the fold reduces the length. Any other thinking just doesn't make sense. The best way is to get the length right and not have that fold. The torso elastic loops are sewn - not glued. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
