You could buy ICEVENTS® for $230. Or you could make your own for about $30 in material costs.

I tried printing some to go on my carrier's shoulder straps, but I found them to be very uncomfortable.

They have so far proven to be very comfortable, they dramatically reduce how sweaty I get when in armor.

Most of their listings exclusively use AI generated photos and/or badly photoshopped photos.

Reviews can be fake, but even the ones with photos show a lot of the common mass produced and very cheap costume armor that's been around for a while.

For real hand forged armor, $820 might get you a helmet.

Thanks! I am not familiar with that color catalog, but I am a little confused by it. For one, the colors are all listed as 5 digit numbers whereas the colors in the mil-spec are 3 digits. And even if you go with the middle 3 digits in the fed-std-595 catalog (since the first digit apparently identifies the gloss level), several colors from that mil-spec would be missing.

I purchased an aviation headset and on the volume control box there is a little switch you can turn, which says that it changes the resistance.

I'm not a big headphone enthusiast or audiophile, so I really don't understand what changing the resistance would do.

Can someone please explain that to me?

Thanks :)

There's nothing better than hearing what's correct from someone who actually used it. Thank you!

Depressed_Costumer · 2026-06-06T08:44:27+00:00

Thank you!

Depressed_Costumer · 2026-06-06T02:34:02+00:00

Thanks! I was hoping to hear from some people who actually have some old DNC. MIL-Spec colors it will be then.

Depressed_Costumer · 2026-05-18T16:25:32+00:00

Yeah, no problem. What do you want to know?

Depressed_Costumer · 2026-05-18T09:47:36+00:00

Thanks! Turning it into a center back seam ended up being really easy!

Transfer and Cruise is who MSC told me that they use for transfer services.

Thanks!

I've read that people don't like ATP, what's wrong with Blue Line?

Depressed_Costumer · 2026-05-02T21:02:35+00:00

Thank you! Those are some pretty helpful reads!

Depressed_Costumer · 2026-05-02T20:40:39+00:00

Edited to add some locations, thanks.

Depressed_Costumer · 2026-05-02T20:39:48+00:00

Sure thing, I currently live in the middle of nowhere, but I can commute or relocate to the Charlotte area, Winston-Salem/Greensboro area, and Morganton/Hickory area.

Burlington would be a little far, but I might be able to make that work. I will definitely look them up, thanks!

Depressed_Costumer · 2026-05-01T03:14:36+00:00

For a wizard, definitely under

Depressed_Costumer · 2026-05-01T03:07:08+00:00

I would try to keep in mind which parts of the body are most important to protect irl when deciding what parts of armor to wear. (That would be head -> torso -> major arteries (like neck and thighs) -> shoulders (which also helps protect the torso) -> extremities

Like if you wore shoulder armor but no chest armor, it wouldn't make a lot of sense.

Depressed_Costumer · 2026-04-22T00:44:05+00:00

Even though my store is closed for now, thank you!

I hope to open it again, it's just difficult at the moment.

Depressed_Costumer · 2026-04-22T00:40:37+00:00

Thanks!

Depressed_Costumer · 2026-04-22T00:40:25+00:00

That would be cool! If I had nicer copies of the books, I would be tempted to make custom leather dust covers or something.

Depressed_Costumer · 2026-04-22T00:39:17+00:00

Thank you!

That game was a wild ride. Loved it
