Doc1200 Posted May 6, 2019 Share Posted May 6, 2019 So I’ve given up trying to find a new pair of pants I like so I’m sticking with my current Tackla 6000s but I want a black shell to match my new gear. Anyone have a suggestion for a company that can do a custom shell for old Tackla pants? My concern is that a Bauer or CCM shell wouldn’t fit. Anyone have any experience getting a shell for an old pair of pants? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snowman30 Posted May 7, 2019 Share Posted May 7, 2019 Brown will make them. Had one a while back, built just as strong and made to last like his gear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bunnyman666 Posted May 7, 2019 Share Posted May 7, 2019 I have found in many cases, a XXL or XXXL fits over the whole works and is super-duper easy. I have shortened inseam and the shell STILL fits famously. My upcoming Atlanta Flames sweater has XXL player pant shell, as does my Penguins uni. Since you want plain black, finding a clearance super-huge shell could be a HELL of a lot cheaper than going custom. John Brown is the gold standard, don’t get me wrong, but he will charge handsomely for the privelege of making even a plain black pant shell. The worst I have had to do (depending on how it fits over the pant) is take them to my favourite seamstress and $20 later, they are a match. My problem is finding Kelly Green. I don’t have to have correct striping as this will literally go with five unis I am wanting to put together. Forest green looks meh. I tried emailing JerseyFX to no avail. He may prefer Facecrack and I REFUSE to use it any longer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will have to email them. Thank you for the link! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bunnyman666 Posted May 7, 2019 Share Posted May 7, 2019 @Doc1200- check @goalie ‘s post in this thread. That place would have what you need, I do believe! $50 is a HELL of a lot cheaper than a custom from JB (and I love John Brown) and it’s even the same brand as your breezers, too! Tackla or Jamm (both parts of Montreal/Tackla) will cover you one way or another. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
