Pop tab armor

Post by Hugo de Stonham »

I decided just for fun to make some pop tab armor. Reason being I haven't seen anyone make a shirt or anything out of it. I have found an article on the subject and decided to change it a little.....

Thats what I have so far...

I'm using 17guage aluminum wire rings, that way the whole thing is aluminum and light as a feather.

So what say you....

Actually I made this one about 10 years ago. It's still in the rotation of the clothes I wear out to the club.
