    a few small points:
    The breeches need to cover/overlap the top of the socks, so putting on socks FIRST makes more sense.
    The body wire clip should be placed on the rear of the lamé on the WEAPON side so as to make it inaccessible to the unarmed hand.
    Lastly, I don't know why the body wire should need to be UNDER the plastron.

    Not to be that guy, but speaking as an armorer, the body wire should NOT go inside the plasteron only because it puts the most sweat directly on the wire which can cause breaks at the half way point, and then the whole wire is sort of worthless because to repair it you'll have to cut it too short to be useful. Yes I admit most brands rubberized insulation tube on the body wire is pretty durable so this isn't an issue, but we've all seen people with transparent body wires where the wire itself is green inside from sweat corrosion. Same thing can happen in the armpit.

      @@OlympicFoil To be fair as well, people's sweat can be more or less abrasive based on things like diet and genetics, so for some people it may never be an issue, but for others its a costly mistake, so if it hasn't been an issue thus far for you it very likely never will be
