I got the same jacket. Just wish it wasn't so pink for the lining...
Are you doing anything to distress or age the synthetic leather?

Hi i have a friend who used to work in the movie prop building industry. He said the same thing about the jacket. i don't know what he plans to do but he wanted to distress it big time like in the movies. Looks too new. He will be repainting my helmet and NERF guns also. Will update once it is done.

Hey, can he do my jacket too? LOL!
I also have the 'sub dermal' embossing for the sleeves, (Not depicted here; doing that today some time)
Just a heads up Lewis, the valve only goes on the right arm 
The patch on the jacket looks great! I may have to do some more to mine....

WHEW! Thanks, Kevin, I almost blew it!
On the bright side, I now have an extra valve to make the vest!
....but now I get to repaint mine, D'OH!

My powers of observation have failed me...it's a good thing I've not installed this thing yet! (and I have cut the flanges off)
Back to the paint kit, and thanks for the tip!

Hey, just a commentry on the valve for the vest. I've been making my own vest, and I'm at the point of making a valve. I thought it was the same as the ones on the jacket, but I think it's slightly different. I don't think it has the single hole and two slots (for lack of a better description), and I think that the circular area is actually cut in half. If you look closely at the lower pic in your quote, I think you'll see what I mean. I can't tell for 100% certain, but it appears to be a minor difference.

I never noticed that. I think your right though. It does look different.
It's a lot flatter for one. Hadn't gotten around to finishing (and offering) the part yet since I'm still faaaar away from tackling the vest and coat myself, but here's where I'm at. Not much left do do really, beyond some tweaks:

I thought it was thinner too, but i wasn't quite sure until i started trying to make one based on the jacket valve dimensions. Looks like I'll be moving on to version 2.0 myself! At least it seems a bit easier to construct.

I think I can take mine and add some filler to the center and then do a little filing on it, (I'm crafty like that)...
At least I have a sub strait to work from. Thank god I've not affixed it to anything yet.
That tape *is* kind of awesome....!!!

Do you mind me asking what you used to attach the small bit to the blasters?
