Will someone give me the dimensions for these please. I think it's something like 10x4 or 5 inches, but I'd rather know for sure.

I have recently come upon a giant piece of felt, thicker I think than the ones that you get from SOF but a good dirty brown colour, and from the prototype ones I've cut a LOT more comfortable with them on.
If anyone needs a pair I'll be making them probably for about 4 quid plus postage.
Not bad considering SOF do em for £10.

Anyone interested please pm me and I will start making these as soon as possible.

*Mods please don't move to Market place, feel its more relevant in the U.S Uniform area.*

Not that it matters for Airsoft but i was told the SOF?Band Of Brothers ones are the wrong colour(not sure about size).Originals werent an orange brown colour but a sort of grey colour-like old grey blankets-sort of grey with coloured specs.

Did have a pair of both,if i can find them ill sort out measurements and pics

Just cut them so they fit. As Dave says, they were a rigger modification so done with whatever was to hand.

The ones I'm doing are 10x30 so that if necessary they can be cut down and they're dark brown.
