Code Cylinder Pocket Frame- Keep your Cylinders from rolling and drooping.

I become very distracted if the costume I am wearing is out of line and sloppy looking. I became a neat freak real quick with my officer Uniform. When I first started to wear my officer uniform I would be constantly straightening my Code Cylinders. This is what I came up with to fix the problem.
1. The Pocket frame will look like a lower case n or rectangle missing a short side.

2. Measure your pockets height and width from the inside.
3. Choose a ridged but bendable material. I used sheet Styrene ( plastic )
4. Draw the Shape of the inside of your Pocket using the measurements you
took, on your material..
5. My pockets have a slight angle on the sides facing each other. You will
have to measure and cut your pieces accordingly to compensate for the angle. If you do not, then they will not fit straight. You will have to label the frames Right and Left.
6. If you stick a hard piece of material in with you cylinders, they will bulge out of the pockets and look horrible. To avoid this you will; have to cut out a notch for bottom majority of the cylinder to rest in and not stick out from the pocket.
7. Make the tops black so that if the top edge shows a little it will not be
noticeable.

8. To make the correct size notch measure the width of your Code Cylinders this is how wide the notch needs to be.

9. Draw the notch as a tall skinny rectangle just a little wider then the cylinders. The notch will be in the center starting from a half inch down, just enough room for the clip to make contact to with the cylinder. That is where the Cylinder is supported. The notch goes all the way down to the bottom.
Cut out the frame and then the notch. They should have an n shape with the correct angle on the the sides, if needed, like this.
