The carrier itself won't get much for changes.  Need to decide if I am going to stick with the hinged front panel.  Loose true quick qd but I like it.  And play with the shoulder pad/wrap that I was never happy with and why I had stopped docking with it

I'll have to check out the different buckles. I just realized they're not the same as mine. Do they new ones go back together easier?

Are you planning it for only certain plates or are you making designs for an assortment of different brands/models?

Those Hesco 3810s are starting to call my name and my wallet isn't happy about it.  I'm about 10" nipple to nipple and roughly 15.5" sternum notch to naval, think a large shooter cut would work for me?

I'm hoping you do find the time to recover from the "sale" and get one together, I'm calling dibs on it in advance, I am ready to be a smooth larperator that can stop looking like concert security and beging hiding in the woods.

Look through this post.

Shoulders still need attention, or not.  And how front panels will attach will be different

As soon as I have time to finish it....

OP, check out post #5 on page 5 for MC goodness. I am close to your size, plates are 10x12.

Most likely different brand/sizes.  Not just one type.  Already have a small assortment of sized plates and the made to order aspect of this allows for it.

It will be another week before I play with the carrier again.  Should cover is what needs my attention most.

If you decide on plate in the not to distant future only need a couple measurements and can make the carrier.

That carrier is awesome!  MC Tropic takes the lead over M81 for me.    That velcro retention is a great way to add adjustability.

I have a set of Highcom 3S9M in 10x12 shooters front med sapi rear on order but they're a couple of weeks out.

Got my plates, had some issues with my first order and then ended up going with Hoplite 19513s.  Swimmer cut fronts, med SAPI rear.  A little thick but huge weight savings and better protection over my old steel plates.

Swimmer: 26-7/16" x 20-5/8"

Stu has my entire stock of them right now. Should be 3 of them, if he hasn't sold them yet.
I'll likely only make more if he orders a batch. They are expensive and a pain to manufacture.
