Flight suit Weathering Question

Hey everyone, I just got my flight suit from Arkady - it's a true piece of art, and I can't recommend her work highly enough. Weathering it is going to feel almost sacrilegious, and I want to be sure I get it right. A question about the weathering process:do you recommend weathering the flight suit while wearing the armor, so that any of the paint that gets on the armor creates some natural blending of the weathering? Or do you suggest weathering the flight suit without armor or flak vest? I appreciate any suggestions you all might have.

I, too, am preparing to weather my awesome Arkady flight suit and would be interested in tips as well. I do think, however, that you would want to weather it with the armor off.....as any shift in your armor would display a "clean" part of your flight suit. Just my thoughts.

Weather it with the armor off.

Definitely

Thanks everyone. I was just wondering if weathering it with the armor on would be more realistic since, theoretically, Boba Fett doesn't spend a lot of time running around in just his flight suit. But the point about not wanting obviously clean spots to show under the armor also makes sense.
