UNIFORM CONVERSIONS, REPAIRS & UPGRADES

[Unconventional]

HUGE UPDATE:

I'm completely able to take orders on a limited basis for now (say maybe 2-4 customers per month for starters)

I've changed what I offer with regards to my services and narrowed everything down to the following:

$30+ FCHP conversions (Field/Combat Hybrid Pant) conversion which includes the modification and stitch reinforcement for both knees on DOUBLE MATERIAL PANTS ONLY, calf pocket removal and installation at upper pant legs (similar to Crye pants) and button removal

$10 - installation of color coordinated velcro hook and loop strips at all pocket closures on pants (customer supplies velcro)

$20 - installation of color coordinated velcro hook and loop strips at all pocket closures on pants (I supply velcro)

$? - RAID uniform modifications (per customers requests...pricing will be based on what is requested)

$? - pistol or rifle mag pockets added to front upper pant legs (from customers side cargo pockets)

$? - M81, 3-color desert...etc type uniform pants or shirts may be bought from me at a the cheapest price I can get them with no profit for me...I will do this for all customers and they will only pay what it costs me to pay for them at the cheapest available price via searching my sources

$25 - Replica combat knee pads (are available for purchase when I have them in stock...PM me about this)



Recent FCHP conversion for a reputable AP member:

ABU pants with FCHP conversion with calf pocket re-location to upper front of each pant leg, full button removal at all pockets, customer supplied color coordinated velcro hook and loop installed on all pocket closures

Update:

I can take a few orders for the FCHP mods along with a few sets of replica combat knee pads that are available in foliage green, black or tan. Add $25 for the set of two combat replica knee pads.

So $30 for a basic FCHP conversion and $25 for replica combat pads

Do the replica combat pants have the nylon/spandex mixed fabric around the lower/rear waist and around the knees? Or are they like the above pictured ABU trousers?

Pricing updated.

Recent project for "Juicemachine"

Swiss Alpenflage pants with multiple modifications, including addition of PALS webbing added to back left pocket, modification of right rear pocket to a slant pocket with velcro closure and carabiner/knife/key retainer, "quick-draw double pistol mag inserts at front of right leg, single M4/AK mag adjustable mag insert and chem stick holder at left front upper pant leg, 16" side zippers with velcro closure/weather flaps installed...along with the basic FCHP conversion:



Shown with a Pre-MSA Paraclete smoke green GP pouch on the PALS webbing and a locking carabiner on the stitched in accessory retainer:


Shown with a Comtac II headset clipped to a Petzl Caritool on the accessory retainer, quick-draw double-stack pistol mags that protrude through the reinforced flap openings at top of front cargo pocket on right front leg and a single GBBR M4 mag with a chem stick protruding out of the left upper front cargo pocket (I added my "quick-draw" conversion...each magazine has it's own retainer inside of the the cargo pockets and the top of each magazine protrudes through openings that were made on each of the cargo pocket flaps to allow the user to draw the mags without having to open the main cargo flaps):

I'm gonna make another thread about this when they arrive, but I just wanna say, Chris's communication with me throughout this whole process has been fantastic. He's kept me posted with countless PMs about the process, making sure measurements were right, etc, which shows a great attention to detail and caring for his customers. He also made several great suggestions that I would never have thought of, such as the quick draw mag pouches on the front, which allow me to still have GP pockets, the chemlight pocket, and the accessory loop.


When it comes time for me to modify more uniforms, I definitely know where I'm going. Highly recommended.

[Unconventional]

Heh! I'll tell you what...I was more tired from relentless sewing of those pants than from any day out MIL-SIMing..etc. As much as I like seeing all the hard work in the end...I sure am glad I'm done with those..lol! Whew!!

[Miracle]

wow that looks great! Very nice job.

[Unconventional]

Thanks for the compliment "Miracle".


Here's a couple more photos to show some new improvements to my FCHP conversions:

Addition of 2" velcro loop tabs (1/2" on front edge with the reaming velcro folded over the edge to the under-side of the material to aid with reinforcing the edges of the material) at all four corners of each combat knee opening on pants. The velcro loop on the back side also acts as a grabber to cling to the combat pads and assist with keeping the pads from shifting...

They are awesome, thank you sir!

I'll be wearing them this weekend at the CAG training and hopefully doing some video so you can see them in action.

[Unconventional]

Very good...glad to hear they are being put to use (-:

Here's your 2cnd set of RAID's and FCHP's in OD...just waiting on your 2cnd set of green combat knee pads to come in before I send this next set out to you.

Another FCHP and RAID request...(2 of 3 of Darius137's uniform upgrades):

Dan's sizing is a bit big on me ( I wear mediums most of the time...these are large Rothco's) but it's the best I could do to display them

[ZombieMan]

These are beyond awesome.

[Unconventional]

Thank you sir. They are a PITA to make, though...lol!
