Gianni,
Interesting point about the shoulders. I'll take a look and see if I can work our a way to make that happen.
To shorten it all I have to do is slice off an inch from the top of the sternum, and taper it in a bit more.
After looking at the reconstructed leather bags we've got, I'm considering not even using rings. They have teardrop re-inforcements with a hole through both layers. Looking at the Arisition monument, the points where the lace comes up from the stomach could be something just like that, and after trimming down the pteruges I have a ton (well, 38) little leather tabs that are just the right size
The lining is a good question, some sort of leather, and I need to figure that out. Any suggestions?
One other thing: I'm going to reduce the size of the overlap as well as with a third connection point it won't really be needed.
Have fun!
