Cutaway Vest

Ballistic vest,Plate carrier?
Hey guys,I need help choosing a vest.I work armed security(site security,patrol,and infastructure)My price range is 500.00(not including rifle plates/soft armor) and down.I'm leaning towards the plate carriers.Will I be shot at with a rifle?Probably not, but I am willing to sacrifice weight and comfort for peace of mind.I have been looking at the Blackhawk! cutaway vest w/cumberbund.Design your own accessories setup sounds great with the MOLLE gear.Does it allow a rifle plate for the back?I'm 6'2 and a slim not skinny 180lb build.What would you recommend?If you are LE/Military what do you use?I understand I dont need a Fully accessorized forced entry suit but I wish to have something that can take multiple hits.As you already know AKs' are readily available and shoots a hard hitting round.Am I going overboard?Any opinions,suggestions professional or otherwise would be greatly appreciated. Thanks guys,be safe.
Sorry,this should have been posted in LE
It sounds to me like you just need a good threat level 3 vest. Concealable is going to be way more comfortable than any over vest. The plate carrier is going to give you rifle protection, but unless you wear soft armor with it you are going to have gaps where you will be vulnerable to pistol rounds. Plates usually only give you about a square foot in front of your chest and back. The concealable threat level three vest will give you a "wrap-around' type wear that will protect your rib area. The plate carrier will not protect this area unless you add soft armor. You can get a good vest for around $300 and believe it or not there are companies on ebay that sell good ones for that price. If you are not comfortable buying from ebay companies TA MIAMI ARMOR sells good vests for around $400-$500. What I would do if I were you would be to buy a good threat level 3 concealable vest for your duty work. Later on when you save some more money and if you still think you need rifle protection buy you a slip over plate carrier with some plates. I wore a threat level 2 soft armor vest with a PROUD RAV vest with SAPI plates. I would not recommend this unless you are at serious risk of getting shot with a rifle b/c they are heavy and uncomfortable especially for most civilian LE work. If you decide to go plate carrier get proud,blackhawk,or eagle. I hope this helps.

Praetorian® Rapid Cutaway Ballistic Vest
At wedding, what shirt for 1. Morning coat & 2. Regular tuxedo? Also other tips requested...?
As the groom, I'll wear a cutaway. I want to wear the conventional regular tie. NOT an ascot or bowtie. So I'm curious as to what kind of shirts to wear with it. Should it be pleated, or plain? Regular dress shirt?
For the groomsmen, they'll wear a regular tuxedo, with regular long ties as well, but no vests. What kind of shirts do they need?
Another question is to wether a shirt pocket for the groomsmen must be white or wether it can be the color of the tie/bridesmaids dresses? Can the groom in a morning coat have a colored shirt pocket?
Lastly, I'd like to check wether it's bad form to 1. Wear a colored vest/tie with a morning coat cutaway and 2. The charcoal vs. black for morning coats. Is the grey dark enough to pass for black?
Sadly, rental employees know nothing of formalwear beyond company policy, which reflects the whim of advertisers rather than classic taste. You're on your own.
The correct shirt for morning dress is most often a plain white French-cuffed shirt, preferably with a spread collar. (There's also some precedent for contrast-collar shirts, but let's keep this simple.)
Do not, I repeat, do not attempt to mix a morning coat (day formalwear) with tuxedos (evening semi-formalwear.) I cannot emphasize this enough. This will succeed in making either you or your groomsmen look like a butler. If this is a day wedding, all the men should be in morning coats. If evening, all tuxedos (with black bow ties, not long ties.)
A colored pocket square can be done well, though it should not match the tie exactly. I would stick with white, personally.
Color is mostly out with morning dress. The tie should certainly never match the vest. (The tie should be silver/black checked, the vest should be light grey.) Groomsmen and bridesmaids in matching colors are the classic sign of a poorly-dressed wedding. (The rental industry only pushes it for financial purposes.)
Charcoal is fine for a morning coat, though whether it will look black will depend both on lighting and on the shade of the fabric. There's also a shade called Oxford grey, which is nearly black.
