I was in the same boat you are in about a year ago. I bought a helmet from someone on here. The helmet itself was great! But my head was way too big for it. (A size 8 fitted ball cap leaves a red mark across my forehead). So the only option that would fit was a Rubies. I had to paint it and replace ...

My seamstress needs to know by tomorrow morning. It's a discontinued fabric that she needs to get tomorrow morning or it'll be gone. One approved TR in my garrison said that it was acceptable but I wanted to get as much feedback as I could before tomorrow morning's deadline before I told her to go a...
