It's what people used to do all the time
That is very interesting and may have been what the training literature was implying about adding a button? I had thought they where just implying that a suitably placed button might catch the sling and stop it sliding down, but and epaulet folded down would make a lot of sense. Did guys reenforce them in any way?

So it does depend on just how close to an original you want it to be. Front what you have said, though the thinness of the material compared to an original may not suit what you are trying to achieve.
That isn’t good no know, yes the thinness would I think pose an issue. Thanks for the knowledge Il look into the American $199 option.

All the best
