Could you show how to take the creases out, and how to re-weave the drawstrings on the sides?

[TheShopRatsGear]

@bricklight0 well, for the creases, just push them out by hand, and let it sit or put some weight on it to hold it, and let it sit for a few days, and for the laces, theyre pretty much the same as lacing a shoe

How tall are u bro? I'm like 6' 1 and I wear a large so I'm not sure that thing will fit me or not. And yes, I just bought a medium one for about 50 bucks and i just wanna know if that'll fir me until comes here

[TheShopRatsGear]

@ericrules95 im like 5' 5", and it is a little big, the laces are as tight as they go, so it might fit you, not really sure

[biggrigga]

now im wonderin if this will be a good vest for my homeboys in the hood when we do a drive by ?

[CAHiredGun]

@IAmNutria Yes, I also wear small and have a medium flak vest. It fits OK but but too bulky to wear in the field

[reenactorkid1997]

[MultiFUgEEs]

[MrArmyStrong74]
