Capote/kapot?

(1/2) > >>

clewis:
I ordered some surplus wool blankets and was hoping to make a capote/kapot or an anorak type shirt this holiday season. Does anybody have experience making these or have one they can post as an example of a homemade coat or clothing article you've made? Also I have an old great coat or trench coat I picked up from a flee market to use as a template. Ill post pics of the blankets when I get em and my progess, Im expecting them in on Tuesday or Wednesday.
Thanks clewis.

Trapper Rob:
If you check on crazy crow they have patterns for them.

BowEd:
Good choice of a clothing article.Yes it's capote.Handiest piece of clothing there is out there.Use it as a coat/a pillow/or a blanket and more.Patterns from crazy crow will usually accomodate a normal sized wool blanket.Ones made out of a hudson bay blanket are very very nice but expensive though too.

Pat B:
I was going to mention Crazy Crow also.   Please post pics of the finished capote and through out the build too.
