Having been inspired by Stuart F's ventile master piece I planning to have a go myself (well my curtain making mother will be doing the really hard bit, the sewing).
I 'm going to use the same pattern as Stuarts smock (http://www.therainshed.com/patternsrs.htm the unisex cagoule)
I've just got a couple of questions first.
How big a difference does double layered ventile make rather than a single layer
I was thinking of using L24 ventile, if i tried a double layered smock would L34 be a good choice for the lining?
How much ventile would I need, 3 metres? I was going to try and buy OG colour ventile seconds from talbot weaving.
I also plan on trying to make a blanket shirt for use in cold weather under the ventile, If so how much larger should I make the ventile smock? I'm a size 44" chest with long arms.
And finally if this all comes to fruition where do I get a bushcraftuk badge from?
