Mountain anorak old school

[Twodogs]

Just finished another bit of cold weather kit for my ever growing pile

A action man and Blacks anorak with a hint of Twodogs .




Fabric I have been lucky to get my woolly mittens on some vintage fly sheets made by " Conquest " bit thicker than the Vango force ten flys ,,Ideal









Same as the original blacks anorak I went double lined making it very windproof ,








I reused the conquest makers mark on the front pocket just to keep the history





Arms and lower pockets sorted unlike the original i went with velcro on the cuffs




The finished anorak





Arr wrong photos








As wind could be a problem on my next winter trip maybe a pair of windproof over trousers ,,,





Thanks for looking

Twodogs

Your skill level keeps growing, probably your best to date. :You_Rock_

Very nice work. I like that old school style.

Good to see the drawstring at the waist. Wind-proof.
How much I do like that with the overshot depth of the hood.
That bellows-effect is a real issue here in my winter at -25C.

Superb .......

[Twodogs]

Great stuff mate

Belting hood on it, you going for a ruff too?

 

[Muddypaws]

Superb bit of kit! Brings back memories, as my Action Man had the mountaineering outfit just like that.

 

[Twodogs]

No ruff on this one
keeping it simple

Simple is one of the best things about old school kit mate

Meh, just add Velcro and use the ruff off your mtp jacket in post 54.
