It took the best part of 2.5 days to cut out and sew ... but then I am slow at this sort of thing, as in "Measure twice Cut once... actually I think I will check that again..."
I had already designed cut and proved the pattern on a jacket I made a couple of years back, so that was just sitting ready to be used.
Recently got a barbour trooper jacket as a technically Christmas present but I'm wearing it all ready. I think it's great, just a good all round coat and I really like it. I think it's fine for all things outdoorsy .
Just re-waxed my Beaufort ready for the winter. I like the style of this jacket but I wish they would design it with a collar that zipped all the way up instead of stopping at the throat. I've slipped some earth cable into the collar as well to make it stand up a bit better. This helps shape it around the neck easier as well. Does anyone know of a jacket in a similar design to the Beaufort which zips up to the top of the collar??
