Moderators Tackle Posted June 15, 2019 Moderators Share Posted June 15, 2019 Hey Guys, I'm having an "issue" with trousers in particular, so I'm looking at alternative clothing to play in. I'll explain, I like belt & thigh mounted loadouts, but they don't like me, partly because of some middle-aged spread,which means I no longer have a waist, & also due to the fact I had nasty motorcycle accident some years ago that damaged my back & right hip, which means I cant have a belt too tight as it triggers spasms in my spine etc. So, I'm constantly pulling my kecks up, & its obviously worse if I've got extra kit hanging off the belt, & in game if a rush to drop to my knee without hoisting everything up, I invariably end up splitting my trousers just below the zip, its getting to be a real pain. Oh yeah, & I've tried braces, got a couple of sets from hsgi but to be honest they're no good unless I cinch them right up, by which time I'm singing falsetto & have an admirable cameltoe, not a good look. The only possible solution I've found is a flight suit, essentially a fancy set of overalls covered in useful pockets & cut in a better style. I've managed to find a set in OD, us pilots nomex ones, but its proving difficult to find other colours or camo's, has anybody else had this issue & how did they remedy it, or does anyone know of camo flight suits any country uses ?. & where to source them. obviously there's the run of the mill dpm overalls given to rentals on gamedays, but I'm trying to avoid the tactical telltubby look if I can help it lol. thanks in advance & feel free to take the piss mercilessly 😉 Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supporters Druid799 Posted June 16, 2019 Supporters Share Posted June 16, 2019 Have you thought about just using a set of BDU’s and sewing the shirt to the trousers to basically make your own combat onesie ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supporters Druid799 Posted August 10, 2019 Supporters Share Posted August 10, 2019 I ‘think’ (yes I do on the odd occasion) there the ones they give to the new recruits before they get kit issued , I’ve seen a lot recently in surplus shops that all seem to be fairly cheap in price and quality (but still with nato stock labels) and only in spotty youth sizes . So possibility ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeorgePlaysAirsoft Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 The russian 'partisan' suits have elasticated waist and are very baggy -might be worth a look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
