I have tons of OCP combat tops and was trying to dye one green to match some of my other gear, I’ve been successful with OCP slings and pants, but not so much the combat tops yet
I’ve had a lot of fun making these and will definitely be doing more!
Made from 500d MTP cordura, and MTP webbing. Binding is multicam.
This was more of a test if my domestic singer HD was strong enough for the job. I had some issues with tension, had to turn it up to maximum to get a half decent stitch with a 100/16 needle and standard gutermann polyester thread- nothing mil spec about that!
Still some more fine tuning on the machine to do, but I was pleasantly surprised with how it handled it.
Any tips on sewing thicker materials would be appreciated!
Dyed a few pmags today and tried a couple diffent patterns, what’s everyone’s thoughts ?

You could honestly print the pattern out at full scale and use a hot knife to cut the fabric as well, it doesn't' have to be a laser cutter.
This watch cover is a great for keeping the watch face from getting scratched up during outdoor activities or keeping glare or other signatures from leaking such as light at night/under night vision.
This was designed with the Garmin Instinct Tactical in mind however it may work with other sport watches with a 3/4 inch wide band and a 1 3/4ths inch watch face.
Follow along and learn how to sew this. You could even just cut out one side of 1000D cordura and keep it as is and just sew on velcro.
The materials for this are simple.
a small piece of 1000D Cordura
1 inch wide Hook and Loop trimmed down to 3/4 inch wide.

Tried using a mix of red and brown rit dyes to make a mw2 Russian camo inspired rifleman’s kit, but instead it just looks like someone rolled in clay for a few hours lol
Built this is just a fun little project. I already have too many bag maybe I'll part ways with it and send it to a good home.
Looking for suggestions on someone to approach to commission this. It looks simple enough, basically a cordura version of a pattern 70 canteen cover. It would probably make more sense to have it built to be ALICE compatible rather than attach the hanger clip seen on the example provided
I basically just followed the Glory Allen cargo pants tutorial, I don’t think I did too bad for my first attempt at something this complex.
I’d like to try making a plate carrier next, was gonna try ordering ripstop by the roll’s 1000d equivalent for it. Any good patterns / tutorials online or should I just buy a cheap JPC knockoff and clone that?
I started designing this padded battle belt because I didn't like how the condor belt sags. I took the rear hookup point from a jumpable medic bag and sized it down for rappelling. I started working on a mark 2 that the molle continues above and below the hookup point. Using eva foam for the pads on the lower back and hips and is the most comfy thing i've worn. I would love tips or help for how to close up the brown mesh as I havent had much luck with binding.
Has any tried to make their own version of the 5.11 vertical adjustable utility pouch? It's basically a dry-bag style closure with an expanding coil zipper at the bottom. I think sewing an expanding zipper on the outside of a molle sustainment pouch or similar would be a cool option. Go from 9x10 to 9x6 in an instant. Even better if a zipper version closure vs fold over could be made. Like a spiritus tall but also wide but zips to a short wide.
I wanted to report back on the Hot Can bag from the last video I posted.
Last week I posted about this Hot Can bag I made using a welding blanket and Cordura. Today I went out to shoot and figured I would test it out. The hottest I got my Rugged Razor was 388F and I stuck it in the hot bag and it handled it just fine. No signs of any sort of melting or burning on the welding blanket material used.
This pic I got was a few minutes later where it was still at 308 F. It came in handy when I wanted to head home and didn't want to wait for it to cool down. I just shoved it in the hot can bag and put the gun in a rifle case. For $25 having about 2.5 yards of this fabric is pretty handy and could be used for a lot of high heat applications.
Post from last week.

I know the color combos isn't for everyone but this one was requested for a custom build.
Its my first time building a split chest rig from the ground up (well not exactly since I use scraps from other gears, not raw fabric and threads)
As for the retention system, there are two paths i think I will take:
A. Hinge quick detatch system
B. Zipper
If I chose A, it looks quick and sturdy, but very uncomfortable as its rigid and wont conform to you body shape, especially when lying on your belly.
If I chose B, it would be the most space efficient as well as ergonomic and comfortable. However, as others have advised me, zipper are very prone to damage in the field and makes it hard to remove (same reason why they replaced the zipper with velcro on the m69 flak vest) so a 2nd back up retention system is to be implemented. What would you guys recommend, Im thinking of:
-buckles (well proven and simple but not space efficient)
-g hook (very space efficient but feels a bit finicky and not strong enough for quick detatch)
-snap buttons (most space efficient but never seen one used before so im skeptical about its practicality)
What would you guys recommend? Thank you!
[SOLVED] How long do most people cut cord for zipper pulls to ensure they have enough length available to actually tie a knot and while also minimizing material waste?
