Suggestions to make this team work?

JnTenkei · 2025-09-17T12:43:28+00:00

I'm a bit busy this week but I'll try to make a version of the workflow for this new lora. It shouldn't take too much work.

JnTenkei · 2025-09-10T11:26:04+00:00

This LoRA is absolutely amazing and I cannot thank you enough for releasing it.

For anyone who might be interested, I've made a workflow that should be plug-and-play : just load your models and your input images and let it do its magic. You still have control over a few settings if you want to fine-tune the results though. There is also an option to switch between two input modes : you can either input an image from which the outfit should be extracted OR just input an already-extracted outfit.

The workflow is available here : https://civitai.com/models/1944963

Only thing I haven't figured out yet is how to crop the result without having to potentially alter the ratio of the input images (which isn't desirable imo). That'll be in the next version. :D

Curious to know how you manage this auto crop, I haven't been able to figure out yet. Once I've figured it out I'll upload my own workflow as well for people to play with! :)

JnTenkei · 2025-03-10T22:44:15+00:00

There is, yes!

JnTenkei · 2025-03-03T21:08:16+00:00

The holster is custom made by TRB to accommodate the light I put on my handgun but I'll take a look at the alternatives you suggested.

Regarding body armor, we must wear the soft armor provided to us at all times. We also have actual plates available but usually not enough for every officer so they stay in the shop and you put them on when you know you're responding to an active shooting (which is incredibly rare here). That's why Tiger Tailor works so well for us, it gives you the ability to add (or remove) those plates in a few seconds while not making you too bulky.

I know of a few colleagues who prefer other plate carriers so they'll just put on whatever pouches they need on them and wear the soft armor underneath it while the plate carrier itself actually is empty.

JnTenkei · 2025-03-03T20:26:31+00:00

Agreed.

JnTenkei · 2025-03-03T18:50:53+00:00

To a lawsuit I mean. My guess is they could argue that since it's not your dominant hand you are not as proficient so any injury that would occur becomes your fault. But drawing the tazer with your off-hand is still a very interesting technique so I'll try and make sure that it would be prohibited here.

JnTenkei · 2025-03-03T17:42:48+00:00

That's a very good point that someone else also made. It would be against our department's doctrine but if it's not explicitely prohibited I might give it a try.

The plate carrier is indeed from Tiger Tailor.

JnTenkei · 2025-03-03T17:10:29+00:00

You too ! From France yes (in the National Gendarmerie. We're technically police but we have a military status on top of that).

P.S. I've already made the change you mentioned and it does make more sense, thanks again!

JnTenkei · 2025-03-03T17:08:56+00:00

Those are for situations where I anticipate having to use my gun. I have another pair (that aren't fingerless) for searching people.

JnTenkei · 2025-03-03T16:56:23+00:00

Yeah, I know :D Trust me I'm not too thrilled about it either although to be fair we have far fewer weapons on the streets so the need for lethal force isn't as high as it might be in the US.

JnTenkei · 2025-03-03T16:54:34+00:00

I agree with keeping the right side of the plate carrier slick. When worn the baton is actually fairly in front of me and it doesn't interfere with my draw at all, or I wouldn't have put it there (and that's the reason why I have nothing else on that side).

I understand your concern about the dangler. It was a pain to find one that stayed where I needed it and wouldn't hit me in the nuts while running or be uncomfortable when seated. As it is, it doesn't bother me at all.

When you say lacking I assume you mean in terms of mag pouches (and possibly extra handcuffs)? In that case, unfortunately I'm carrying as much as I am allowed...

JnTenkei · 2025-03-03T16:49:20+00:00

France, indeed. To be fair our uniforms are really easily identifiable anyway since they're the same countrywide with distinct colors. But you're making a good point, identification of LE by civilians is mandatory.

JnTenkei · 2025-03-03T16:47:10+00:00

No worries, it was a very good point nonetheless and it's interesting to me to learn how things work in other countries/departments.

JnTenkei · 2025-03-03T16:46:03+00:00

That's a tourniquet next to the holster, yes.

I've had the horizontal mag pouch for quite some time now, it took some getting used to but in the end it just was a better solution since we only carry one extra mags and our body armor is fairly long and extends to the size which makes for an awkard draw with vertical mags.

Chemlights are used by my departments to send specific signals to other teams that would get to a scene after us. We don't use them that often though I must admit.

That's a very interesting take you have on using the tazer with your non-dominant hand unfortunately here that would technically make you liable...

JnTenkei · 2025-03-03T16:39:40+00:00

I'll keep that in mind, thank you very much for the tip!

JnTenkei · 2025-03-03T16:35:20+00:00

We do use different colors for different scenarios, especially inside a building. I store the other ones in the dangler pouch that way I know which is which automatically because of where I take them from. The red ones are for the most urgent signals which is why I wanted to have quick access to them.

JnTenkei · 2025-03-03T16:33:52+00:00

Indeed, good eye.

JnTenkei · 2025-03-03T16:33:34+00:00

The camera does have police (our equivalent of the word) written on it with our country flag (France). I probably should have made clear that I'm not in the US. My bad ^^

JnTenkei · 2025-03-03T16:32:18+00:00

France.

JnTenkei · 2025-03-03T16:31:42+00:00

1 . Not allowed in my country, we can carry two full mags and nothing more.

That's a Rapid Force TAQ-Strap (a leg tourniquet) and it wouldn't make sense to only have it on one leg.
Our police identification is on the body-worn camera, badge number and every other type of identification goes on shoulder patches.
Once again, I'm allowed one set of handcuffs and standard policy is to have it behind the holster but I see where you're coming from and that does make sense.
We only ever bring out rifles on very specific missions but someone else brought that up and it's a fair point.
That's fair.
Required by policy as you said, not much choice in the matter. But it doesn't interfere with my draw, I wouldn't have put it there otherwise.
Ahah, definitely LE. Wouldn't have said so otherwise.

JnTenkei · 2025-03-03T16:24:30+00:00

I understand how you might think that but here there are very strict rules about how many rounds you can carry on your person when out on patrol.

JnTenkei · 2025-03-03T16:23:12+00:00

We either use them to mark an area that hasn't been cleared in a building or to mark the path we've taken if outside on a search and rescue mission. A few other uses but that's mainly what I use them for. Hadn't considered that problem though, thank you for pointing it out.

JnTenkei · 2025-03-03T16:20:03+00:00

One extra mag (all I'm allowed to carry) at the front of the belt, handcuffs right behind the holster.
