Who would be interested in this?
Hey there all i was asked to make the chest plate from my TDK suit to put on the UD leather TDK suit
is this something anyone else would be interested in having get done?
and i could also make it with the carbon parts on it as well so that all you need to do is do a straight swap over instead of having to mod the suit in any way
interested to here your thoughts :)

Re: Who would be interested in this?
I do not have a UD suit, however IMO it looks better for a costume than the original(I am totally aware of the fact that the UD suit is a CE approved motorcyle suit, not a costume, :nahnah BTW)
So, for what it's worth, if I had one, I would be interested!

LMFAO! Especially from this Bro since I'm the de facto ringleader/villain/goon/Joker/whatever regarding OOPS and shipping. I'll bet some Ra's ah Gul somewhere would like to off me after that. :whack :whip
To the point of the thread - if the cost isn't monster I'd be interested. It looks to me like the bat is indeed embossed and I like that. Plus, it looks closer to a semi-gloss rather than the leathery satin on the UD design.
I love the UD TDK suit and am 3Q and am not complaining at all. If I never saw your "tweak," Kris, I wouldn't have thought twice about it. But... seeing this subtle enhancement has me intrigued. From the images I think your plate is tight.
A question: is your plate a simple layover on the UD chest plate (like a cover) or will your design actually replace UD's plate? Is the symbol on your work flexible like UD's or a hard shell?
A big real world benefit of UD's chest plate is it's foldability for accessing the zipper. That way you don't have to remove the entire plate to get the jacket on and off. I speak as a motorcyclist who purchased Dave's excellent TDK replica leathers for riding first, costuming a very close second. Can't wait to change my avatar and my image in the pic below to the UD TDK gear.
If the ease of use/convenience is there then you've got me tempted. The tweak in appearance is something I love a lot and a big :up !

Oh, and one more thing, Kris - I also like a lot the increase in height of your plate. It provides more coverage for those of us who want to attach a cape in a more movie-like manner. More :up .

Re: Who would be interested in this?
How would it be attached is a key question?

Re: Who would be interested in this?
Although I don't have one of these suits, I think its a great idea. The chest plate was always the part that made the leather suit look a lot different than the rubber one IMO. The leather is a lot more flat.
