Captchee I lik ethe look of yours where did you get the pattern I have plenty of wool blankets from the military

  the pattern i used is in Hanson’s "the long hunter sketchbook"
 its on page  16 and 17 under George Rogers Coat .
  i add on a cape the pattern doesn’t call for one  .  But i really like it , as not only does it help keep me warmer but in a heavy rain  the wool of the cape gets wet but my shoulders stay  very much warm and dry .
 the same sketchbook has a pattern for 18 and 19th century   hunting shirts in it . i have made capote’s from that pattern as well . You will have to use graph paper and enlarge the patterns as they are not full size .
 if i recall , the scale is 1/3

 One of these days I hope to get around to making  one out of brain tan . Just got to find the time

Here is a simple pattern for a blanket coat:

This is the pattern I used to make the coat I hunt in during the Michigan fall and winter seasons.
