My black and white build *AM

[Gep[501st]]

Starting my WIP for my wife's TX using AM. I'm also doing a TK for myself, so there will be white in the pics too.

 

So a couple of questions for you experienced folks.

 

- Are these boots acceptable? http://www.tackwholesale.com/smoky-mountain-ladies-jodphur-boot-closeup2-3183.html

 

- On AM, do most people remove all of the return edges for comfort? Are there any returns that I MUST keep on this armor as I start cutting?

 

Thanks all!

Those boots are acceptable. They are more suited for women though. I bought a pair when I was starting out. I still have them I think. What size is she?

You should remove most of the return edges as the AM has huge ones. Keep the edges on the chest, back, ab and kidney plates. On everything else you can pretty much completely remove them.

I believe a size 7 or 8.

If the kit needs to be trimmed down, there are always ways to add a return edge back on to the armor. I am doing this right now with my kit as I am trimming down various pieces.

Mine are a size 10 men's. =/

Geez, I had a really hard time getting the ears on the white one to where I wanted them. I ended up ordering another set from ATA. I love the black bucket since the gaps are not so obvious. I know some gap is desirable, but I struggled to get the balance right for me.
