Newbie constructing a sherriffmuir type jacket
After a number of years surviving on shop bought Kilts, Jackets and equiptment, I decided to "Go off-piste" in constructing my own jacket.
I didn't want a Charlie or Argyle (got one ) so that left a mess jacket style, so I looked and liked the style of the Sheriffmuir ( and seemed local since my family were Stirling/Trossachs)
Colour :Bottle green, not vevet, so barathea, so off to trawl the shops & market stalls : Succes!
Where to find a pattern? Nothing seems to exist( every pattern seemed to be out of stock or printed on bank-notes on e-bay ). so my options seem to be adapt from other uses. I ended up with a Burda 2471 "Napoleon " as a basis.
The vest has been straightforward ( lengthen by 2": I'm 6'5" & long in the back)
So, now I'm cutting the "tails" and lenthening the pattern appropriately. Will update as I go along!
