Default Para webbing question

Does somebody how to attach the Tommy Gunn para webbing correctly? I've done the best I can imagine but there are meters of rope I don't know how to tie:



The elastic has stretched but tht's too much to be stretched...

Also does somebody if the uniform on the left is a real life one copy? It must be a bootleg (tagged Kong Kong but nothing else, if somebody has seen it before it would help) and I don't know how to complete it. Could be a royal marine?

That's not webbing, it's a parachute harness missing the main 'chute on the back & the reserve chute on the front. Try puting it on like a VAM 'chute harness [with legs through loops].

The other outfit looks like a HK KO of a GI Joe Marines dress uniform. I'm only guessing but I hope that helps.

Sorry I missed your reply. The parachute is on the back (sorry for my english I meant parachute harness) but there is no reserve chute on the front (I've never seen a tommy gunn reserve chute before). The thing is once I put the legs on harness (as seen on the photo) there are still two very long cords I don't know what are for.





The cords come from both sides of the parachute, tied to the harness with a buckle. they are stitched both together at the middle of their lenght and then one goes stitched to the central buckle and the other goes to a clip that is suposed to be attached to that main buckle at the other side.

I can't find the reason for that cords. Any help?

Thank you for the photo DC-1 but I can't see what happens with the rest of the two cords once it goes to the back. The rest seems basically the same as mine but still don't understand why is it too long ???
