ChaChi Report post Posted January 10, 2010 Thanks for the compliments. I've attached a few pics of the attachment points. Our bunker gear has 8 buttons in the waistline for the suspenders (4 in the back, 4 in the front). I designed this set up because the end straps can be replaced by the owner down the road if they should wear out or need a different length to fit a newer set of gear. It has worked out great so far.

Tim Trapper Report post Posted April 29, 2011 here's another set going to a female firefighter in Idaho Great work! Do have a pattern you could share? I have been firefighting for 21 years and leatherworking for three months. A helmet shield and suspenders are in my minds eye. Thanks! Tim SC Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
