BroadSword Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 Does this type work or should it be non-ribbed? http://www.beverlys.com/2-ribbed-non-roll-elastic-white.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
syllander Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 Seems like it would be better to be non ribbed but this may be stronger. I'm planning on canvas so there's no give to this point, but they always mention elastic as the first choice. Any idea as to why? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BroadSword Posted August 17, 2014 Author Share Posted August 17, 2014 Police Officer CRL states elastic, so I figured I might as well go for that at minimum, but I'm not sure I got the right stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trooper1 Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 Yes, elastic for PO approval and SWAT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtyBoy Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 that'll work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BroadSword Posted August 19, 2014 Author Share Posted August 19, 2014 that'll work ....but is it preferred, i.e. would I get SWAT with it? If it's not right, please let me know and I'll go get the other type. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vf2112 Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 There seems to be two kinds I've seen, the type you have in link and the ribs going long ways I think long ways is better as for support link your chest to back with anything like canvas or webbing but place the elastic over top It doesn't need to be functional just aesthetic Hope this helps But in answer to question I think you need the other type of elastic any fabric shop should have it on rolls just buyby the metre Check my post in hurt locker there's a pic of both types Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BroadSword Posted August 19, 2014 Author Share Posted August 19, 2014 Sounds good. I still need a few odds and ends to begin my armor. I'll be making another trip to the fabric store for sure.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
