[QUOTE="Stormrider, post: 122976, member: 2155"] Ill explain it first, if it make sense kewl, if not ill build a 'how to' in max for you. Look at my post further down the dented var section '300 + 30 days mortimer heres your $1' theres a pic of me with my helmet off. Thats what the neck seal looks like when sewn. What I did was took 2 layers of fabric. They were 18'' x 5'' and 18'' x 7''. I sewed the top 18'' seams together. Flipped them inside out (so it was an inseam). ----------------------- xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ----------------------- looks like that. xx is seam Now hold the bottom fabric tight and slide a dowel rod, plastic hanger piece, something about 1/2 '' around right up next to the seam. fold the top cloth around it so you have a cross section like this __ x/( )\x_______________________________________ ------------------------------------------ sew the seam where the x is. Remove the dowell and sew again. You have this. __ __ x/ \x/( )\x_____________________________ ------------------------------------------ Again, the x is the sewn seams. Repeat you have this. __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ x/ \x/ \x/ \x/ \x/ \x/ \x/ \x/ \ --------------------------------------- sew the velco on at the ends. I suggest under piece Hook, out piece (facing neck) wool, so its not scratchy. If this doesnt help, ill take some pics for you. With a sewing machine takes like 5 minutes. [/QUOTE]
