GIRTH BELT & ARMOR ATTACHMENT:
Well, I officially have COVID. Not fun, but I also have a positive case with more mild symptoms, so I am able to sleep comfortably at least!
Anyways, while quarantined I decided to finalize the girth belt by sewing the strapping on. I hand stitched these and used some adhesive as well to reinforce the Covid-stitch job...I will use my soldering iron to make the holes for actual fitment.
I also made a big decision. I have been planning to attach the armor to my vest by utilizing the grommet method. However, I love the idea of the locking clutch backs, and the flexibility in placement that the method provides. So I will go that route, and the issue is that my armor already came prepped from Fettpride with plastic bolts attached. I cut the bolt lengths off, and left the heads attached to the armor.
When the clutch backs come this weekend, I will dremel out a spot through the bolt head, and epoxy the clutch backs in place. Then proceed with placement. Sounds involved, it’s not...
Stay healthy, friends!
