Wow, that's even bigger then the one I proposed, judgeman... Good work, Eklam!

Been busy recently MC Shopping Bags (got some left, hinthint) Bigger Version of my HaM Pack, called "HaM +" Enough space in the outer pocket and Velcro in the inner: Messenger bag with Cobra Buckles: And a rather large order in CB and MC (and black, but forgot to take pics...):

Thanks CKinnerley! I know what you mean. The belt itself is 2" (50mm), I don't think a lot of pant have belt loops that big. I have 1.5" (38mm) webbing, but the belt loops are usually in the place where one would benefit the most from the padding (on the sides, right next to the hip bone). A pad for 1.5" might even fit through most loops, I'll do a proto when I'm not as busy as right now. Got another idea for a MOLLE/PALS compatible belt that is only 1.5" wide...

Finished an interesting job in January: A guy bought a Solidfox CPC and wanted me to replace all the PALS/MOLLE webbing with original Multicam webbing. Was quite interesting to take apart and to see how the Chinese guys made it. Build quality wasn't even that bad, they just used a a non-bonded thread. BTW this mod costs around the same as the carrier itself, but it's still cheaper than the original... And I bought some Cobra Buckles!

Sorry for the doublepost but:

Thanks guys! validtumoralarm: Well, you can. I take credit cards

Been busy Pencil case and wallet in MC And how an AK-Bandoleer gets done... And an AK-4mag-Chestrig

OK, now the problem is that zippers should generally not be load-bearing. But because of the integrated(?) pouches, I don't see any room to add the webbing with anything else than a simple seam. And that's not optimal either... So: 1. Replace the zipper a. Find a similar separating zipper, open the seams, remove old zipper, add new zipper and sew. But your typical home machine will have troubles with that. b. Ask DBT to replace it and hope they'll do it for free. 2. Add buckles a. Do it yourself. Buy 1" buckles (2), some 1" webbing, and sew. But again, your homemachine will have

judgeman, post some pics of it and I should be able to tell you more.

Sorry for the late response, I talked to Arnie and now got commercial status, yeeey! Price is around 150 CHF/USD, depending on extra features, without shipping. At the moment I have Coyote Brown and MultiCam. Unfortunately I cannot justify the expenses to add another pattern/color, because it would not only be fabric, but triglides, buckles, Mil-W-17337 webbing, elastic webbing, zippers, binding tape, velcro and paracord...

@Bando: I'd love to, but I'm out of zipper glider/pulls. Only got black left, and an order from the states will take its time... Should I pm you when i get some? @Geri: I only use mil-spec webbing, fabric and thread + ITW / US Made plastic parts. But your friend's stuff looks amazing, especially the binding of the yoke! FYI, binding is considered the the most challenging sewing operation

Thanks! But from a sewing perspective it's just a big zippered pouch with some extras like shoulder straps I almost feel like I'm cheating, I started a "civilian" sewing shop this spring and have an industrial walking foot machine...

Did a small assault pack named HaM, Hydro and More 45cm x 25cm x 10cm, about 10 liters, PALS on the front and Sides, Hydroport on the top, Hydropouch inside and a small pouch on the outside for random small stuff!

Me got Multicam! Duro fabric / Texcel webbing And got a rubber stamp, just for the lolz! Looks clearer / more defined in real life.

Thanks guys! I bought it because i want to turn sewing into a business, would be crazy just for hobby purposes... I'll set up my shop next week and snap a pic! @squale: But I have a walking foot But all my gear so far has been made on a Pfaff 360 home sewing machine, so yours is definitely GTG.
