Bob, here is my first attempt at the suit. Used 400d Pack Cloth and a belt/tree strap I had laying around. Haven't added the pockets yet and will be making a lineman's belt using 1" tubular webbing. Gave it a test sit last nite, may add a little closed cell foam padding as I suffer from NBS (no butt syndrome) and look at some type of back support for sitting, but otherwise comfortable and like the support.
One more question, did the original come with a plywood seat or some type of poly/plastic? Thinking about giving it a go with 1/2" ply (at ground level of course) from a weight saving perspective. Thanks again for the build instructions. Super easy, took less than an hour.
