Inverness Cape advice needed

[Kilted KT]

Pattern you say, thats a darn good idea.....why didnt I think of that.
Wasnt suggesting that you wear a $700 cape around the campfire. Just meant that if I was gonna shell out the money it would be for wool and not goretex thats all. I may be crazy but I aint stupid
You gonna buy readymade oilcloth or wax the cloth yourself?

all depends on cost, and how readily available each is. If I can't get it pre-treated, I can always get a few tubs of the re-treater and slop it on...let it sit for a week..slop on some more.

actually, now that I think about it. I'll prolly buy it un-treated. Will be much easier to work with as far as sewing.

ahh...life is good. found a vendor who sells oilskin in canada. I'll just buy a pattern for an inverness cloak and make one myself!!

anyone know a good pattern to use for an inverness cape?

hmmm...jonesing already...wonder how many hidden pockets I need to make?
