UPDATED 01/04/12

For Barrett "Jewish Ninja"


Custom rear bellowed pocket additions over the standard existing slit pockets and standard FCHP conversion with Mil-Spec OD velcro and improved side adjustment straps (when using OPS brand combat knee pads, dual side adjustable leg straps are not necessary...only single outer straps are needed. The OPS brand pads tend to stay centered quite well and stay in place due to their large size and weight).

UPDATED REAR BELLOW POCKETS...POCKETS ARE NOW BELLOWED ONLY AT THE BACK INNER SIDE PER RAID TYPE POCKETS AND THE OUTER SIDES OF THE POCKETS ARE NOW STITCHED DOWN AND FLATTENED PER RAID DESIGN
Image

Below photos show rear pocket features before they were stitched down on the outer sides to make them smaller and more streamlined, per RAID design

EDITED MY ABOVE POST

They were a little big because I forgot to sew down the outer sides of the bellow pockets to streamline them like RAID pockets. Just got done with them again.

The post will be edited soon to reflect the changes to the pockets.

This was a recent order request from a local PD SWAT unit out of Arkansas. I was pleased to take on a LE order for a change of pace...

The request was a retro-fitting of Crye combat elbow pads to their 5.11 Rapid Assault Shirts. The shirts were modified to allow the Crye elbow pads to be utilized along with the integrated velcro stretch adjustment straps that are on the pads.

These shirts are very comfortable and 5.11 did a great job with the design as they already have an elbow pad shaped pattern of material over the elbows. However there are no actual elbow pad pockets on the shirts so the double layer of material had to be modified to allow them to take hard-cap elbow pads.

The SWAT team leader wants 6 shirts done...here's the 2cnd one that I've done already. They will be sending 6 pairs of pants in the next month or so for my enhanced FCHP conversions (EFCHP)...which I will be offering at an additional cost. Pricing hasn't been set yet..I'm working on it.

Currently working on "Androids" order, "Ash's" order and a local customer order.
Some materials that I had to order for the projects came in late..etc.
Hold tight...it will get done.

This is a picture taken from another forum of some work done in Virginia Beach. Would you be able to copy this with a supplied BDU top and Under Armor shirt? I'm mostly interested in the collar and Raid mod.

Big fan of your stuff, thanks for the consideration.
