yup.. that what i am looking at doing now!
Toddy where is the best place to get the kind of material your talking about?
I can get it in Glasgow....might even get a discount if I smile nicely
You just want a pullover with a heavy toothed plastic zip front neck and a hood? Maybe with velcro adjusters to tighten the cuff?
If I buy 3m it'll be ample and allow some leeway for 'changes of mind' (ahem!)
Time to think about what you *want*. Little things like pockets, drawcords, ventilation, wired hood front? or as simple a pull on smock as it's possible to make.
There's a brilliant Neolithic cut that only has one seam under the arm and across the chest and another straight down the front. Cuts down on potential leaks and keeps everything simple.
I'm not offering to sew it for you, (just too busy, besides then it wouldn't be *your* jacket) but I will work out a pattern and cut it out if you want. I can get rubberised cagoule fabric for £1 a metre just now....you could do a dirt cheap trial run first.
Let me know.
Cheers,
Toddy
