silverboyd Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 Got some white canvas at the local fabric store. Since I'm going Sandy, I don't want the shoulder straps to look clean. I decided to take some of the material and soak it in a tea bath for 1 1/2 hours. The result was pretty cool. I'll iron the canvas, sew the edges, add heavy duty snaps & attach them to my chest and back armor. I think it will look nice once I get the rest of my armor dirty. May also rub on some actual mud to the fabric and once it dries...rub it off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mangamax Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 Blimey, wish i had thought of that - did mine by splodging on acrylics. Yours looks much more natural. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaggered Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 Good on ya but is there really a need? Once you have your pauldron on no one will ever see your shoulder straps but nonetheless good going. jAG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverboyd Posted May 31, 2012 Author Share Posted May 31, 2012 Even if no one sees either strap....i still wanted to go that extra step I'm awaiting more male snaps to fasten the shoulder straps to the back piece. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
