So I'm looking all over the place and I've finally found the templates for the riding patch for the undersuit. Now I have a new issue.
With all of the screen caps and build photos here and on the BSN but haven't found any photos of the seating of the riding patch and mud flap.
I'm not talking about crotch shots, (yes...I know how funny it sounds to ask this.) I'm having a bear of a time trying to see exactly how these are supposed to look on a completed uniform that has already been 501st approved. I think I've got the mud flap placement down but there are differing opinions on the placement and appearance of the riding patch on the undersuit and I'm striving for authenticity.
I'm already inquiring after a seamstress to sew these for me as it is beyond the realm of experience for my local seamstress. Seems suede is a tricky material to work on and if you have to rip stitch and re sew, your previous stitching would be very visible. I had to weigh conveinence against an individual who has already done this before and knows all of the tricks to make it come out right. I have no problem paying someone to sew it for me, if I can find the right individual.
I laughed as I was trying to find a way to phrase this post as it seemed so funny to ask other Scouts for photos of their inner thighs. I know we're all adults (mostly...) but the topic hasn't been quite broached in this manner. Most photos are of a poorer quality and let's face it, photographing black suede on black poly-cotton trousers can be a bit tricky.
Thoughts? (Aside from the dirty kind.)
