So, what's the price? How long from deposit to delivery?

If you're making, poles drop me a PM.

Sorry - these are not for sale - I just make for myself these days.
I did recently look into commercial production but could not find a way to hit acceptable price points and the finish/fabrics I want to use.

Early Spring! - the trousers are fairly light weight, the shirts VERY warm and the Gilet toasty

 

[Robson Valley]

I'm old enough to be convinced that I get what I pay for. You really did think this through.
I can only imagine that I'd be as comfortable as I like to be, dressed in clothing of those designs.
Things as simple as the size/shape/position of the pockets.
If/when you get some licensing agreement worked out with makers, keep me on your list, please.

Lovely work there ....I am often amazed at the skill of the 'makers' on this site.

Top making as ways John. I never thought about making trousers, just looks to hard.

Yeah - the zips can be a pig!
Otherwise no harder than a jacket...

Nice work, Mr F., especially the trousers.

Trousers are still a bridge I have to cross.

 

[Big G]

You posing again Mr Fenna..

Nice collection of hand made bushy outdoor gear.

I am afraid I do not do videos - but somewhere in "Makers Market " I have a thread selling facsimile copies of my old "A basic guide to making..." books if that might be of interest...
