Del Chest Magazine Mounting

[J47555[CMD-DWM]]

Heyo!

I've been working on a Dual Del/Gideon suit in the interim while my deathy gets a rebuild. My question to you all is how are you mounting the magazine and oiler pouch to the flight-suit? The person I got the suit and pouches from were using clothespins to hold them on which sort of works but not for longer events/in the long term. I do however need to be able to detach them so I maintain the flexibility to be both characters. I was thinking stuffing some neodymium magnets into the pouches and behind the breastplate but I figured I would ask here. Thank y'all!

I've found that the magnet approach definitely seems to work best.  I cut out two pieces of wood to fill the central mag pouch and the oiler pouch, and then screwed a countersunk magnets onto each piece of wood before inserting them into the pouches.  Whenever I put the flight suit on, I carefully insert a couple of magnets inside the arm sleeve to hold the pouch in the correct place.  It's a little fiddly, and if you don't use strong enough magnets you'll find it falls off easily mid-troop, but once you get the balance right it's a reliable and flexible approach.
