That looks awesome. The wool smock is superb. I sold my Swanndri Bush Smock some time ago and a part of me wishes I hadn't..... seeing this now makes me think I could make one myself!

That looks really smart and practical.
Is it itchy?

Great bit of kit, really nice finish.

Looks great. Did you start with one of those military surplus blankets? I keep thinking about giving that a go, but as big as I am.... it'd likely take three blankets to give me enough cover!

Loving the smock - thinking of making one myself. Did you just start from an existing garment or did you have a pattern to help?

Here's the one I made a few years ago using a pattern I bought......

Nice job, always enjoy to see kit made by its user.

She should be over the moon with this. That is one of the best homemade smocks I've seen and will last many of years to come

If anyone could post a link to a pattern I, and I think several others, would be interested. Pros and cons and any advice would also be great.

It was a few years ago I made mine and can't remember where I got the pattern. I'll have a Google but it was basically for a hoody and I adapted it adding waxed cotton trim on the shoulders and to lengthen it.

Alternatively my partner is a seamstress and has said she would cut a pattern if provided with a garment to work from...or even possibly make it for a reasonable cost.

My OH and her sister can do the same for me.

I was hoping there were a few ready to go patterns out there for others to use, a bit like the mythical bushcraftUK pattern.
