BrinkHouse Posted December 17, 2016 Report Share Posted December 17, 2016 (edited) Was at my local Target tonight, and since I've been on the hunt for R1 bits and bobs for my Patrol Captain (TK-14057) build I thought I'd check around for a possible ribbed undersuit fabric and I think I found something DAMN close. $20 and there's enough fabric in this top to make both elbows, knees and even around underarms if necessary. -------------- My plan is to keep my current one-piece lycra undersuit and cut the sleeves off this for my elbow gaskets and cut/sew pieces from the back for my knee gaskets. Depending on how good it all looks I'll then stitch them permanently in place to the undersuit. Advantage there is that all unseen parts of the undersuit will still be very breathable and cool.

BrinkHouse Posted December 17, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2016 (edited) Thanks, Michael! Do we have any clear photos of the underarm/side area of the suit? Edited December 17, 2016 by BrinkHouse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrinkHouse Posted December 17, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2016 Upon further inspection of high rez photos, it seems like the best thing would be to keep the shirt mostly intact, maybe just trimming the length if necessary so that it does not appear in the thigh/butt area which should just appear as a smooth black material. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parquette[TK] Posted December 18, 2016 Report Share Posted December 18, 2016 What's the maker's name? Would like to see if it is sold at other places that I may have locally, or if anything Amazon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would like to see if it is sold at other places that I may have locally, or if anything Amazon. Unlikely, I believe Merona is a Target brand. I know you can order it from their website though, there's a link in my first post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
