I want to wrap myself in ventile!!!!

[Degrorobogo]

This little wrapping thing I want to do....I would like to do as cheap as possible...don't blame me, I am Dutch

Although I like the products of westwinds/snugpack and snowsled very very much I think they cost to much. I am probably crazy enough to buy one, but then I will just admire it when hanging in the closet and fantasize wearing it when I am out and about doing the rough stuff!

I would love to wear ventile but I also want to be able to roll around in bracken...cover myself in humus...hug very big resin covered trees...and that without worrying about the hard earned cash I am rubbing against all the good stuff nature has to offer.

I want a cheap ventile jacket....So I probably should make one myself. So my questions to you are:
1) Do you know where I can find ventile fabric on the web!? and:
2) Do you know any good professional patterns that I could use and where I can purchase them.

Hope you can help!

Cheers,

Gilbert

Dont worry about the hard earned cash,the liquid latex - oops, i meant the ventile can take it in it's stride....

not ventile, but KL and KLu jackets are rough, green and dead cheap. On marktplaats you can get about 10 jackets for just € 40 ( http://www.marktplaats.nl/index.php...D%26oudei%3D0%26zoek%3Djassen%26fo%3D%26pv%3D ). although i'm not sure why anybody needs 10 of them....

Got to have ventile lads....I'll save the clingfilm and liquid latex for saturday night!
the kl and klu jackets I am very familiar with, but don't fancy the army look and it certainly is no ventile.

Pointh North looks good though...any other suggestions?

You can get some materials (but not ventile) and patterns from here

I have a Braemar windshirt from these folks. The quality is excellent and it's £50 to £60 quid cheaper than some of the alternatives!
