Wearables: Exterior Update
So, my fabric that I ordered (grey, tech-ish, camo) isn’t getting here until Tuesday.

I found a couple a print your own fabric stores, online and in New York. First2Print does it in 10-15 days.
Edit: Here’s a pattern I made out of six different composites, each composite uses four Google Street View photos:
