Hudson bay " Twodogs"

[Robson Valley]

It is the "Hudson's Bay Company." Get this right. Might be an idea to do the duty for an extraordinary
British-based company of adventurers (etc) for many centuries. I would trade a whole lot of things for HBC blanket coat.
There's a lady here in my village with just such a coat, covered in Dene' beadwork - spectacular.

I have a Sheffield UK blade, a Monoctaugan blade (TomBear/thanks) now hafted crooked, which is probably the same design which was sold by the barrel
by the HBC in the mid-1700's. Eastern native people were what I might want to label as the birch-building peoples.
A multipurpose tree, roughly the equivalent of the western red cedar here on the west coast.

They were probably better made back in the day:

You get "bragging rights" to wear that. A very fine piece of work.
As I am dying for one of my own!

Cracking bit of tailoring Cliff.

Dave, you're going to have to get some pics of it in snow to make everyone else even more jealous

I doubt Cliff would want to share his pattern as it would take away trade from him

However...The Bushcraft Magazine has an article and pattern for making your own bushshirt

No need to thank me mate, you've done an incredible job on it. I couldn't bare to see the cat getting all the enjoyment out of the blanket, I had to do something with it. I just hope it fits! Lol

Lovely job.

Werent Hudson Bay Blankets made in Oxfordshire?

I would love one for the Forest Knights Van but a little spendy for me.

Does look great.

The blankets are currently made in Yorkshire I believe, by the Hainsworths & Sons company.
