Kevin,
Years ago, like 45 or so, there was a fabric shop in CdA that sold blanket material by the yard.  Ms. Smoke and I made a couple of matching capotes for a reasonable price.  I don't recall the name of the place but it was in the shopping center on the northeast corner of Appleway and Government Way.  It's probably long gone by now, but the other material shops in town might have the same type material.  I also don't recall whatever happened to those capotes either.  Probably sold/gave them away somewhere down the line. 
Looking forward to photos of your progress on this project.

Looks like you have a good start.  :bl th up

The hardest part for me is, cutting up a good wool blanket or some fine braintanned deer/elk skin,.... a mis-cut can pretty much ruin my day.  :scared: :Doh!
The nice thing about the sewing part is, if you get it wrong you can take it apart and do it over again.  :)  :bl th up

Thank you all.
 I think my hood tassels need to be a touch longer so they can tie around the hood/lapel. 
 Looks like a frock is next, finally joined my local muzzleloader club and they like to dress up some.

Looking good, Kevin.
Did you join the CdA club or the Sandpoint one?
