Oh, come on! Definitely do it! If you're worried about wearing it on the train, just put the top and assorted other pieces in a backpack and carry that around. You can probably wear the pants without any issues.

Then again, you'll be in San Francisco. What makes you think you'll be the only one in that outfit?

It's a great way to get recognition during the event too. Pictures and stuff like that, featured on NGNG and PGI's website, etc, etc. Then again, I'm an attention *****, so that kind of stuff appeals to me!

It's BART, no one will look at you thrice.

Dude amazing! Keep up the amazing work!!

[BlueFly17]

I needed a something to wear under the jacket, so I went simple and added a logo to a t-shirt. It's supposed to be a "college" shirt, from the New Avalon Military Academy. Still have a bit of thread trimming to do.


The Logo up close:

[BlueFly17]

All done.

Very cool Man. Excellent work

Now the only remaining question is: Are you wearing it to the launch party?

There is only one correct answer, of course...

For sure! Too much work to let it go to waste!

Good to hear. Now the only thing remaining to do is to make a set of matching outfits for the rest of Team Caution!

This makes me wish I payed more attention in my home ec classes in middle school.

Amazing work.

Forgot to add the messenger bag. Team name is "CAUTION".

Did you just sew through the full cover, or did you pull the panel off and sew it back on?

The embroidered MWO logo... oh man! You should make one or two extras to hand out to PGI. If you put Russ and Bryan's name on it, they'll probably gift you with a lifetime supply of MC! Use the Team Caution logo and make them honorary team members.

I dunno man, if you really wanted to get weird looks on the BART, wear bicycle shorts, a military surplus flak jacket and some kind of big helmet. Of course the Folsom St. Fair is this weekend in San Francisco so I'm sure no matter what, others will be turning more heads.

Right now I kinda like the idea of lounging around in a Davion track suit.

Nice work. Can't wait to see it tomorrow.

I would pay some serious dough for this....

For the record, I spotted you in the crowd early on! Any feedback on the uniform?

Tons of great feedback, I had a blast. Lots of people had some really nice things to say. I'd have to admit one of the highlights was Randall Bills telling me he liked the uniform. That was pretty cool.
