Mayor update: I ripped off almost all patches except for the ones around the shoulders and sewed (most of) them on again, including some new patches. The goal hasn't been covering every square inch of the kutte anymore, and I'm finally totally satisfied with the result. I also didn't sew them on as well as before so that I can easily replace and exchange them without any destruction.
I'm gonna change the BP from the Sodom to the Desaster I've already opened a forum thread about, probably in the next few weeks, but that's it for now.
