Polish Lavvu Poncho

[copper_head]

Could some kind soul tell me the approximate dimensions of one of the polish lavuu ponchos please? I can find dimensions for the whole lavvu but not the individual poncho shelter half.

Also are they made from canvas?

Cheers!

From the apex to the centre bottom hem is 70 inches. Apex to bottom edge ( along the buttons) is 68 inches. And yes, it's made of canvas.

Its a good tarp to use for an 18th century set up mate! Can easily lay under it covered with some room for kit at the back if you set it up good!

The Native has it . Well maybe I won't manage a full 18th century set up but more traditional/vintage kit.

Canvas tarps are expensive, and MM are doing the shelter halfs are only £8!

Guess you've got one then, how do you rate them?

I had full lavvu and traded it on as not big enough for me and Lisa.
Not tried the half shelter we shall find out

Sounds good, what's the weight like?

 

[Man of Tanith]

One side isnt too heavy definitely lighter than a big canvas tarp.
Another person succumbing to the call of the vintage style eh.
We're growing.

You've said this before.

It all started with the Czech bed roll. Wonder who lured me into getting that ?
