CHIBA D.I.Y. SPRAWL

[limboistic]

Looking into getting some webbing for my own personal DIY and was wondering if you guys could provide some insight into what kind of webbing you guys like to use and why?

[danii]

it's mostly personl preference, I prefer polyamide tight weaved webbing webbing, because of it's structure. I do not really care about breaking strengths, because I doubt they will ever matter.

[danii]

 

161600 PATCH GLOVES CUSTOMIZATION:

[01] get stick-on velcro loop, width 25mm (1''). / they come with every 161600 patch sold at Î›OKUWARE.storefront

[02] stick 80mm (3.1'') of the loop part right above your knucles, try to align with seams on your gloves

[0o] OPTIONAL: handstitch the velcro to the gloves for more secure fit

[03] place patch of your choice

 

GEAR PICTURED: drkshdw bomber jacket/maharishi cargo/fox racing sidewinder gloves/aoku 161602+161608 patches

 

AOKU 161600 patches are available only till the end of 2016.

Needed a lunch bag, used what was lying around and spent about 10 minutes.

Anyone have a lead on where/how to get a hold of the 3" tec sys molle webbing panels used on 3rd-arm bags? 

[danii]

first rule of tec-sys is not to ask about tec-sys.

[Sjefur]

Check first posting in this thread with lots of links like http://www.extremtextil.de. Just buy a full grain ribbon and you're good to go. Happy sewing!

[danii]

 

AOKU 190807 is 110cm x 110cm DUAL FABRIC SHEMAG. It's composed from two triangles, STOTZ ETAPROOF (aka -S) and POLARTEC WINDPRO. When worn correctly, the waterproof eta fabric on the outside protects from wet weather, windpro on the inside is guaranteed to keep you warm. Diagonal seam is reinforced with grossgrain ribbon, which holds the funnel neck look and serves as simple locking mechanism.

There is single black on black logo tag on the left side. 

 

Available on the day of Raichu this december in AOKU STOREFRONT. More pics soon on my social media accounts.

This DIY was planned awhile back about 4 to 5 months, but didn't have the time to get on with it until now

Thank both Kamikaze for the challenging Idea, and Jbob for shipping me his precious J36GT for this experiment.

I will not disclose any sources

Enjoy All!

 

_Challenges

• I have to use this  beginner machine Singer (stitches might not come out clean as it exceeding it's purpose) forgot what model this is but here is a Link to the more updated version Here
• There was no way to actually get this right if I do not have the jacket on hand.
• It took awhile to actually begin the process because I was waiting for the "escape zip" ( YKK:Top open zip ) that took 30 days to produce. ( when I finally got it it didn't measure up to what I wanted but oh well but lucky for Jbob the intended XL worked on his sz L jacket )
• I spend awhile trying figure out the measurements, and putting the Jacket on and off ( I'm a sz M)

Here is the J36_C GT

• Panel itself fully tapped and stitched back and front
• It's 3L Gore the best I could find for an average person

• Details of the panel with the J36 [Everything is fully functional: Snap /  Fidlock socket / Escape Zip

• More details and Finally the Fit Pic ( Don't mind the phone I am taking the pictures remotely)
• [ I am a sz M and with the panel it practically a sz XL I already tried to layer a bit and this was the best I can do ]

Spoiler

J1a_C in 2 weeks maybe.... hope I got the time. Sorry JBob I am keeping this  J.K

Great craftsmanship here, very impressive stuff. Would love to see more original customizations in the future, maybe it's just me but I feel it is a bit of a disservice (to the original designer) to essentially recreate the expansion panel of the J43A-GT and add it onto other jackets? I can understand that you take on some of these projects as practice for your own cutting/sewing skills etc. but it would be cool to see some of your own designs (or ideas for customizing garments) come to life!

Either way, keep up the great work, looking forward to seeing how the J1A-C turns out.

Does anyone where to get zipper pulls like these?

 

[donburi]

read back, this question comes up a lot!

[Majotaur]

I'm seriously considering doing this mod:

which i feel is a nicer execution of:

 

[danii]

JUST DO IT!

[danii]

061608 PROTOTYPE 2.0: 2 compartments, bigger 3D pocket and smaller flat pocket attached with a hinge mechanism for easier access without bending your spine/swinging your bag around. Tec-sys webbing all over for attaching it to bags and to attach more pouches to it. Made and lined with matte black X-PAC fabric.

[danii]

[henrisan]

Have an E-J23 (RAF) that I want to mod since I have to fix it anyways (due to another issue... so I might as well go all in!).

I want to make one of the sleeves (just half of it) detachable, so I can freely choose to give the jacket a similar look to the J36-GT (RAF) when I want to.

Thinking of an effective solution that wouldn't be too costly to implement... any recommendations? I'm thinking of adding snap button holes to the inner part of the edge of the half-sleeve (attached to the jacket), and snap buttons to the outside of the detachable half-sleeve (separated from the jacket). I'm thinking I may have to sew on additional fabric to the detachable half-sleeve and then add the snap buttons to make sure the length of the entire sleeve isn't altered when I put it together.

Can anyone think of an easier solution that's just as effective?

[jbob24]

1- Sell it and buy a different jacket?

 

2- just cut the sleeves off and have a dope ass vest 

 

3-buy a BLACK e-j23 in the same size and swap out the halves, so you have 2 half black, half raf j23! Share one with a friend

hi guys, i'm looking to modify a bag in my spare time, but i'm having trouble finding stockists that will ship to Australia. Mainly looking for some hardware, webbing, waterproofed zippers and preferably xpac fabric. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks!

[danii]

did you even care to browse the topic you are posting in?

[Majotaur]

This kind guy in the local techwear shop gifted me this unfinished victorinox D-ring and paracord, which I'm gonna complete  into a bracelet. Not sure but i think the paracord is custom too.

Hi guys,

does anyone know if there is a place I can purchase these quick release fasteners that ACR uses in a quantity <10 that ships to US? I need 2-3 for a small project I am doing, but the only place I have found that has anything similar is here: http://www.fun-fabric.de/halli.php?020113_21255__Kurzwaren-Kleinteile---Zubehoer-besondere-Verschluesse-Taschen-Verschluss 

however, they only ship that product within the EU. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I'm sure someone here can EU-proxy for you (actually, there was someone who offered in the Acronym thread).

On that note, I'd like a few to mod some stuff I have. If anyone can proxy, please message me as well.
