    Just out of curiosity...where does everyone get their replacement straps with the snap closures for their slugger and samurai throat guards? Mine are starting to rust out a little bit and I've been thinking about sending it into Tony to get it recoated with my Mizuno mask but would have to cut them off I think since they are sewn on.

    Or....does everyone just have that many of them? lol 

    The SG tg most of us use Chicago Screws for this. I want to say they are 3/8 inch. But I could be wrong. @Razzerwas the originator of this idea since the original screw/nut combo could twist and cause the tg to shatter.

  2. Might be something interesting to look into just for wearing for work, to be completely honest.

    Only thing I would change is nothing that anyone on here can do. But the reviews that constantly pop in and out of the screen as you are scrolling are distracting and constantly in the way as I look at it on my phone.

    What, it didn’t include Robert Pattinson’s codpiece? 

    Seriously, the amount of design thought they put into these armor pieces for movies is stupefying. Functionally, nearly worthless, but nonetheless looks impressive. 

    Dammit, I need a vacu-former. 

    One of my favorite Youtubers will do movie, tv show, pop culture armor (or "armour" if you will, seeing as how she is British) reviews. They go from "I'd wear it" at the stop to "Just Stab Me Now" for ones that are both non-functional and/or ridiculous looking. She also has "Not Really Armour" if it isn't... well... actually armor. 

    (She also does fight scene breakdowns and I find those fascinating as a former theater kid.)

    Sooooo… if you didn’t have those retainers… you wouldn’t have been hit at all? :meditation: 
     

    … excerpts from The Backstop of the Multiverse, everyone! 

    I see this as solid logic. This is why I don't wear a cup for the same reason.:nod:

  5. Also, if this matters to you or not. But Douglas is American owned and made. Everything is done out of their Houston location (I believe). This is why, when I was looking for a baseball glove for myself, I really wanted a Nokano. But couldn't afford the price tag.

    Wilson on the other hand. As stated many times. Is made and shipped from China or the like.

    After several weeks of reading @Umpiresrock74 posts and looking at his photos, I reached out to him via text and communicated about possibly having my Power retrofitted. Being a little hesitant about shipping it off to a complete stranger, I picked up the phone (the old fashion way) and spoke with Michael for about 20 minutes about what I was wanting done. Immediately all my concerns were alleviated. He was completely understanding and also gave me a few references to confirm for myself. The references assured me that Michael will send daily updates on the process and they said they couldn’t be more satisfied with the outcome. As I type this I’m over the moon excited about getting this thing in the mail to him!!! Give this kid (my man Mike) a shot if you’re even on the fence about it!!!

    Looking forward to your reviews. Nothing against Mike. But you have been here a bit. So your thoughts as as a 3rd party will definitely help.

    Samurai Gears.  Don’t be jealous. I’ll settle for envious.  lol. 

    I've got two of them. One still in the bag (though opened to add Chicago Screws to it). Still the best looking tg I have ever had
