Thats why im starting on the jumpsuit, inner vest and cumberband with pouches first, cos those items need alot of fine tuning. Armor/Helm will order later gauging the progress of the soft parts. Not forgetting the boots
Hmm dunnoe wether to order both the KC and MLC helms?
*woke up*
ok. start ordering the armour 1st bro. then the soft parts.
I'm a clean scout, so dun dirty my armour on purpose.

Ok just some update and notes for up and coming TBs
I noticed as one's waistline gets bigger, there is a tendency that each of the cumberband vertical strips (7 in total) maybe accidentally be tailored wider thus pushing the pouches too far to the sides (sidelobes). Thus its important to highlight to the tailor the exact width of the strips desired.
One good technique would be to experiment and try out (7 strips draw out together on paper) different width of strips for e.g. 2.2cm, 2.3cm, 2.4cm etc and see which produces the best result aesthetically, meaning pouches which are aligned parallel with the last strip, would not be too far to the side. Ideally in my opinion, the ideal position of pouches, the inner sides should be aligned with the left/right nipper of yr chest.
Hope this would give some insight to making an accurate yet good looking TB cumberband

Dun worry eugene, as you are using tham's cumberband (2.2cm for each of the 7 strips) as an example with a slight reduction in waistline, your waist pouch are aligned nicely. But however you may need to insert some foam padding to beef it up as you are on the slim side cos cumberband should fit snuggly around the waist. If the tailor were to tailor according to you waist, it would result in the strips being too thin and pouches too close together.
