pandatrooper[TK] Posted November 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2009 I'll try to snap a pic of mine tonight. I made "garters" as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pandatrooper[TK] Posted November 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2009 Here's how I did my garters for the thigh armor. Around my waist, I wear a simple 1.5" web belt with a fastex buckle up front. One each side is a V shaped garter. You could use a straight piece of elastic, but I found that with the V shape, the thigh armor stays perfectly positioned no matter how much you move. I tried it with one piece and there was just too much movement for my liking. One side of the V is permanently attached, the other is adjustable. When I made them, I didn't know exactly how long they needed to be, so I left one side adjustable. You can make both sides adjustable or permanently sew them, that's up to you. I'll probably make another garter for myself that fits me perfect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
troopermaster Posted November 4, 2009 Report Share Posted November 4, 2009 I would love a pic of the lower extremities done this way. Any way we can see the secret? LOL....it's no secret. Just a plastic tab with two snaps glued inside the top of the thigh behind the joining strip. I don't have any photos, sorry. It's very simple, just get some 2" wide elastic and loop it over at the top and sew it so the belt can slide through. Put a female snap on the bottom of the strap and your done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup-- that's really all ya' need. You can close them in the back with velcro if you want, but typically, they don't need to be suspended from anything.
