Many years ago I produced a book "A Basic Guide to making your own Outdoor Activities Clothing".
Unfortunately the original work was lost when the printer closed down and sold the business, equally unfortunately my copies were loaned out - and never returned!
It has been suggested to me that some members of this site might like to own copies and that I produce PDF facsimile edition, scanned from a copy given to me by a member of this site
The booklet has several sections -
A - Intro
B - Seams and methods
C- projects
Points to bear in mind
1 - waterproof chaps
2 -Mitts
3 - Windshirt
4 - Waterproof Jacket
5 - Over trousers
6 - Walking Trousers
7 - Walking Jacket
8 - Gaiters.
D -Further reading
Admittedly not all the info in the book is now in date - some of the addresses for suppliers etc - and the items are basic not modern fashion, designs and some of the scale grids on the copy I have are not the sharpest repros ever ... but the book is still usable.
If there is interest I will go ahead and scan and prepare the PDF files ... if not then the book just goes back on the shelf
The price of the facimilies (if I go ahead) would be the same as my "A Basic guide to making your own Budget Bushcrafting Equipment" that I sell through this website
If anyone has a copy of my books "A basic Guide to Making your own Outdoor Activities Equipment" and A Basic Guide to Making your own Fleece and Pile Fibre Clothing" I have a variety of things I would be willing to trade for them - just to have copies in my reference library!
