Would said cordura work all over?

I only ask as this looks like a system I might like to incorporate later this year when I begin upgrades.

cordura is hard to work with...you have to go through many measures to soften it even slightly so you can sew

Would a thinner pleather or vinyl, if found, offer roughly the same?

lol. I get the feeling you do costuming/propmaking professionally in one way or another? I've probably read this some place already and am just being dumb. :P

use duckcanvas...its lightweight and much more breathable than cordura. hell even with the heat the cordura and vinyl feel fine

I know... One of the members of our Clan has done something similar and they both are amazing.  But cosmetically speaking it doesn't seem to work very well with a color other than black.

after sddcc2010 i will be throwing these vests into production...the back is always going to be black cordura. and the front will be in the color vinyl of choice. i will also be adjusting the vest to work better for sizing...meaning the straps will be fully adjustable along with the back straps being modular to easily attach stuff

but yeah you can have different colors and it looks just fine...i just prefer all black. my mock-up was red and it looked pretty sweet lol

i agree, i am curious as well to the both questions... i would really love a vest as well.

A warrior considers himself already dead, so there is nothing to lose. The worst has already happened to him, therefore he's clear and calm; judging him by his acts or by his words, one would never suspect that he has witnessed everything.
