Replaced the ruff on my M65 Parka

[Twodogs]

Not long ago I brought a M65 Parka off ebay with a set of overwhites,
I do like the parka but didnt like the synthetic ruff that it came with yuck ,, after a bit of looking about I found that the early parkas had a coyote fur ruff ,,, nice ,


So many hours later and very sore fingers here it is now ,

Us bushcrafters sure do have a perverse idea of what fun is

Looks great Cliff, just the thing for cold weather. Did you sew it straight on or is it possible to remove it? Might have to source some coyote and have a go at my mothership jacket this autumn now...

 

[Twodogs]

I put it straight on but can remove the hood

 

[Dannytsg]

Very nice work. You wouldn't even know from looking at it that you had altered it.

 

[Andy BB]

Oh very nice! did you remove the wire?

 

[Twodogs]

No mate left it in for my needs , removing it is easy to do though

 

[addo]

Great job mate, but your looking a little deflated there in the jacket.
Get that dutch oven out dude!

Very nice mate im planning on doing similar to my field jacket come winter.
Gota love the m65

 

[Dreadhead]

nice one i can imagine how much of a pain in the rear that must have been to sew on looks great. no furry pompoms though?!?!?

 

[nolightweight]

Top job, mate.

[ex-member Raikey]

oooh i like it!,...

[Biker]

Now that's pretty. Coyote eh? ... I wonder if Labrador would work as well? Oscar's using his right now.

I can see me adding a fur ruff to my Swedish Snow smock once I've finished pimping it... I have yet to start it truth be told.

Very well done!!
