  1. I posted an earlier thread regarding my modification to how the capelet straps attach to the front armor of my Darth Revan. I described changing the attachment so the capelet straps reach up out of the armor to feed through D rings attached to the capelet. This made it a lot easier to put on the capelet without help. I wanted to share additional images but was unable to add them in a reply to this earlier post: I tried this out on a troop and it was much easier. One could use snaps to hold the straps after they feed through the D rings, but I wanted the option of adjusting the height of the capelet when needed in case of wet pavement, grass, etc. or if I change boots or change armor fit. I wanted to add a stopper to prevent the capelet from loosening and lowering, but would still allow for me to easily raise the capelet. I put on the armor and attached the capelet. With help, I measured how much strap length was fed through. I then checked that measurement with the armor and capelet off to determine my stitch point for the stopper. Like in this belt example, I wanted to feed the straps so they were hidden and so the stoppers were against my body instead of facing out. I chose mushroom domed buttons that were small enough to fit through the D rings on the first feed-through, but would act as a stopper after the strap was fed through in place. I will black the chrome finish out on these: When I put the armor on, I make sure the straps are hanging outside of the front armor. I can reach up and grab the D rings to feed the straps. After feeding the straps through, I pull them forward to be hidden under the hood tuck. The mushroom buttons prevent the straps from loosening. I can also periodically check my fit without a mirror by feeling how close the buttons are to the D rings. I can also make quick adjustments to raise the capelet when needed without a mirror by measuring a finger width or two by feel.
