Questions for Hawk

(1/2) > >>

Little John:
Mike , I really like yours and Red Hawk"s buckskin clothing. Question is do you make these from scratch? I don't know if I am up to the  tanning or not but surely could cut them out and stitch them together, maybe with a bit of help from some one who knows more than me about sewing. Is the buckskin available comercially ar do you just have to do the tanning? If you make them, what do you use for a patern, surely you don't just take a piece of hard earned brain tanned buckskin and go to cutting, not sure if it will fit or not. How do you pick an authentic style? Look at a lot of old pics? What would be authentic thread to sew with? Sinue? My mother is a master at sewing, might have to enlist her help. I have always been keen on wool for mountain hunting. How does the buckskin perform in nasty weather? Any and all advice apreciated.      Kenneth

Pat B:
Kenneth, Check out Crazy Crow! they have patterns and most of what you need for authentic buckskins except the brain tanned leather.   

Little John:
Ok Pat. Who and what is Crazy crow? Do I just type it in and search? Will give it a try.

Pat B:
Yes, just google it!   They have a supply catalog of Native American and early American attire and necessaries.     

Little John:
Found it Pat, thanks a lot,a  big help.
