Olive Drab Nylon Straitjacket
I made this nylon straitjacket some years ago. The body
material is the same material that was used for a short while in duffel
bags. Quite strong. The red strapping is all 2 inch tubular strapping.
A few notes about it:
- The straps are all extra long. That is so I can pull on them with my
feet, teeth, or my hands through the sleeves.
- All of the straps are red. If I was going to do it again I would use
different colors for the sleeve straps.
- The sleeves both have their own strap. This us useful if the arms are
some place other than just tied to one another.
- There are two buckles under the side arm loops. The arms can be tied
off at theses buckles.
- There is NO seam at the top of the sleeves. It is one piece of heavy
nylon fabric. It folds over the top of the shoulders and around the
body. There is a seam along the bottom of the sleeves and down the side
of the body.

can be used to inter-connect the sleeves.

Sleeve straps tied with a "Ring bend" or a
"Water knot".
This is probably
the most secure way of attaching the sleeves to one another. This and the next
shot show the sleeve loops at the back of the straitjacket.

This picture shows the straitjacket with the sleeves connected to the female
buckles that are attached to the straitjacket body. The placement of the
buckles is under the sleeve loops. This placement makes it more difficult to
escape form the jacket.
Side view of the same configuration as the above picture.
This picture shows the straitjacket with the sleeves connected to the female
buckles that are attached to the straitjacket body. The placement of the
buckles is OVER the sleeve loops. This placement makes it easier to
escape form the jacket, but keeps the sleeve loops pressed against the body of the
straitjacket.

Sleeves connected together with a short strap that has a female
buckle on each end.

Detail of the loop on the front of the jacket up by the neck. This could be used
to attach a lead and/or a locking collar.
The long sleeves can be tied off well beyond the reach of the person wearing the
straitjacket.
The strap hanging down over the right shoulder is end of the top strap used to
close the straitjacket.
