Depends on the webbing (I'm having a hard time picturing it) but I do think you can. Mine is opened on both sides and laced from top to bottom with leather tack. Let's see what material you wanted to use and go from there, but you should be ok.

I was thinking of duck cloth if I can't find anything else. BUT, I may have found something that would work with a little bit of modification, but only if I go with the green. Speaking of that, here's a little more fiddling with mando maker and I got the "woodland" coloring a lot closer to what it would actually be.



So now, since I may have the vest already, I'm wanting to do the green and brown now. I do wish the "1313 Concept" armor would pass CRLs, not only because it would be easier to make (lol) but it just has that battleworn, duct-taped together, hard core sniper feel to it.

Ok, so another quick vest question: I'm going to attempt to make my own out of duck cloth, using the "no sew" tutorial I found on here. If this plan goes the same route as my other vest plan (aka failure), would this be acceptable, and if not, what would I have to modify to make it work (other than the logos, obviously)?

Neoprene is far too stretchy a material to use as a flak vest.  The entire idea behind it is to have a stiff, inflexible material onto which your plates will sit.

I second Cin. That would definitely not work for the vest, as the plates would move far too much.

Ok, so duck cloth it is...

Dang, I was kind of hoping that one would work. I don't trust my clothes making skills, but I guess I better work on getting them better lol.

If money allows, you could also buy one from one of the makers on the boards.

I might go that route if my duck cloth vest doesn't work out. I want to try to make as much of this myself as I can. It seems more Mando, more personal that way, ya know?

Haha, I agree completely. I've got the no-sew vest tutorial bookmarked somewhere, but if I take my time and not rush it, I think I can get it right. Gonna go check out material and hit up the surplus store on Saturday, after I get paid.
