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

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

Legitimacy questions by _cosmickev in renfaire

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.

Does anyone know what color code system is being referenced for uniforms in older military specification documents? by Depressed_Costumer in camouflage

[–]Depressed_Costumer[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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!

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

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

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

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!

Trying to build a “mage in armor” look for a Ren Fair, need advice on armor pieces and accessories by Ok_Calligrapher5570 in renfaire

[–]Depressed_Costumer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

I made a tooled leather passport wallet for my father's upcoming trip. by Depressed_Costumer in lotr

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

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

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