So my question is this: Where do you typically measure for chest and back measurements to make sure you have at least 75% is covered? | ||

For us here in NS, Its Majority rules, meaning if it were real would it give you at least some decent protection. | ||

What about the waist line, is it at the natural waist line like most armor was made to? Or should we look at counting down to where most people were their belts at these days? How about shoulders? Do we need to factor any part above the neck line? I know it's abit 'rules lawyer-esque' but I would hate to put the effort into a costume only to be told it's not enough coverage, however too much coverage kinda kills the look I am going for. | ||
