LOL Kun je de jas misschien wel in het echt zien.

That's exactly what i've been reading all the time. According to the specs Talbot Weaving sent me, one single layer ventile should withstand 4 hours continuous heavy rain, which suits me fine.

Thanks. The badge (a redesign of an old logo of mine) was embroidered straight on the fabric. For that i had to draw the lines of the pocket flap pattern on a piece of ventile. I had my logo put on the fabric at an embroidery shop. After that, i finished the pocket flap in dual layer, so the...

thanks Stuart. To encourage potential DIYers i can only say: try making a jacket using an old bed sheet. It will cost you nothing and you gain knowledge by trying. Try to find a book about making cloths, such books are full of tips and tricks. It just tells you the ways to do things. I got a...

All that extras won't be necessary over here, although i'm really wanting a normal winter again, for starters. But we have to wait for that for a thousand years, i guess :(

try make one first using a old cotton bed sheet. It will familiarize you with the pattern and its difficulties. I did and it helped me very much. This way you can adjust things before you use Ventile.

I guess you would, but i don't think my wife would tolerate the dining room being a sewing atelier for another month :rolleyes: And there are so much more bushcrafty things i like to do and learn. Did i ever show you my bushcraft knife which i finished a few months ago. Ooh, i never posted...

Using an economical way of cutting the patterns i used about 3 metres fabric and i made the medium sized cagoule. But in comparison with my old Pinewood, which is XL, this is an huge medium. The pattern i used is designed by The Rainshed . Ernst

Hi all, After using a Pinewood anorak for some years i thought i replaced it with the real deal: a Ventile anorak. So early this year i received from Talbot Weaving 4,5 metres Olive green Ventile L24. Including shipping costs to the Netherlands it did cost me a €150. The pattern i used...

Early this year i received from Talbot Weaving 4,5 metres Olive green Ventile L24. Including shipping costs to the Netherlands it did cost me a €150 which was cheaper than the above mentioned addresses. At the moment i'm finishing my cagoule/anorak i'm making. The rest of the fabric will be...

Looking for some other fabric than wool for some base layer i saw on Shelby.fi that they have merino :D Look here Ernst

Do you have an email address of that shop? Maybe the thin merino fabric is useable for making some t-shirts. Ernst

Where do you get the merino wool? What color is it? Price? How heavy is it?

The pattern shouldn't be that difficult. When i want the make a shirt, jacket or pants i like, that i've seen somewhere, i try to read articles about it, see pictures (if any on the net) and best see them real. Then you can try first with a old sheet to find out the best pattern and size for...

As you might have seen at the pictures on the belgian forum the wrapping of the handle consists of three layers. The first layer was done with white bandage (4cm wide), wrapped diagonally to get a fluent shape of the handle. When this wrapping was done, i fixed the end with some super glue and...

Hello, This is my first post here (i think) and i want to share with you my modified Fallkniven S1. Using my S1 for a while now, i was satisfied with it, but the handle could have some improvement to fit my bigger hands even better. So i did a cord wrap diamond style and impregnated it with...
