lol, i JUST placed an order w/ skygunbro for a vest, suit, and neckseal...i guess me and ripcode will keep u posted w/ pics and production times..

i got the whole package for a lil more then $200 which to me was a very good deal (but to any other human, besides the ones on this forum, is way to much for a 'halloween costume')

ps ITS ALL ESB, BABY!!!!

I already asked BM shortly after I got the vest from him. It is possible to wash them but recommends using low tempreatur or hand wash them

If you wash one of my flightsuits on a cool wash (not hot) then some of the weathering will inevitably wash out, only a small amount though, most of it will remain.

ok, i got my skygunbro stuff yesterday.vest, suit, and neckseal. over all im happy w/ them. lets break it down...

neckseal- very nicly made, i give it a 4 out of 10 on comfort, but i think only because its new fabric- i wore it for about 10 mins and it did get signifigantly more comfiterble. and..it is a neckseal...so there not really made for comfort anyway. overall, very well done- velcro closure.

vest- made from the same rigid material which is good cuz it gives it that 'flak jacket' feel. its really a nice vest, probablly the best ive owned. agian, velcro closure on back- i think i might replace it w/ a zipper, but not a big deal at all. i give it a 9 overall.

jumpsuit- i got ESB, so its a dark grey, it looks real nice. shin pockets and thigh pockets very well made, as is the 2nd sleeve. zipper closure and small peices of velcro on the wrists. a very suprurb peice. a 10!!:cheers

thanks skygunbro! speedy shipping too, it took a lil over a week to get..i mean, from the day i ordered it, so that means it was ALL made, shipped, and received in less then 10 days...you cant beat that!!

Hey guys, quick question. I got a Skygunbro suit and vest, awesome stuff I might add. The only thing I noticed is my neck opening on the vest seems rather large. I didn't think much of it being a problem, till I started mounting the armor this week. My collar armor overlaps on the shoulder, half on the vest and half off(toward my neck). My collar piece was made using WOL's templetes. Anyone else have this?

Here is the best I could do-

The corners of the collars go off the vest, toward the neck.
Here is a pic of my old vest-

The entire collar is on the vest. I love the Sky vest, I would rather use it. It feels more rugged, and looks better IMO. I mean I have options here. I could build a new collar to custom fit the vest, I could alter the vest itself. Right now I'm just using the easy method-using the old vest. At least till I figure something out.

dont forget as well when you put the neck seal on with the blouse that tucks in this wont be noticable anymore......most of the collars i've seen have a rounded inner curve yours has angles which I think looks cool...or if youd prefer you can send back the vest ill do another one with a smaller neck opening.....

well when you join the collar to the black plate that will take up some of the slack. Plus when you wear the kneck seal it will look a little better too.

Jason,

I've actually altered the vest a little already, I took in the sides under the arms so it fit a little snugger in the belly. Um, does that void my warranty I am up to sending it back for a smaller neck hole. I like the construction of this vest a lot and the color looks real good compared to the MoM exhibit.
