Reeto Folks, Just a quicky, how easy would it be to retrofit the nice thick leather jacket i've aquired with some armour, back pad, shoulders, elbows?

Was looking possibly at the forcefield superlight for the back as the leather is nice and thick but don't want the sizing of the jacket to be reduced by too much (slightly baggy at mo)

If it got the pockets in the shoulders and elbows for armour to fit into its a piece of piss. Buy armour, put in pockets = win.

If its not got the pockets, I can see it being a job for a tailor to sew them. Buggered if I know how to go about getting that done though. On my jacket they are made out of nylon, cagoule type material with velcro at one end to close the pocket and stop the armour falling out. Thumbs Up

no pockets so they would need adding to the existing lining
