Title: Iron Heart Placement
Post by: Ehn'cuir on Aug 03, 2021, 11:32 AM
My chest is a bit big for my body size and so inbetween my chest where the heart lies, it is inset. Keep in mind this pic also was taken with my plates taped on. Focus on where the top of the heart is, not the bottom, in the one pic the bottom is like falling oit or something, normally, it is fully inset... Is this ok or do I need to do something to "bring the heart out" so it is "flush" with the outside of where my chest plates lie?? This is kind of an older pic, but one that shows the depth difference well, I know and have fixed the floating plates, 2" distance between collar and shoulder, etc.... Thanks in advance  :boba:

I've fixed that in the past by running a strap between the chest plates and fastening the Iron Heart to that. Keeps it on level with my other plates.
