This is an exceptionally rare and awesome video in the whole 'bushcraft' genre man. There's a thousand 'build a fire' etc videos out there. But it's super rare to find someone that's teaching people to 'hey, rip it down and make it better'. Those are some skills that get called soft but are as hardcore as learning to garden. This is the first video I've seen from you. But I'm in man. You're doing good work.
Every bushwhacker on TH-cam should take a page on pacing out of the Grim Granite playbook. I love nature, but I don't need 10 minutes of walking through the woods, ill go the woods. I also want to hand it to GG for effectively scripting and editing. And finally, that's a rad f'n hoodie, sir. Thank you for the content.
That’s awesome! Guaranteed she knows more than I do! 🤓 You can absolutely make this! It took me several tries to get parts of it right, but it’s fun to see the end result!
Wow I just discovered your channel! Part of my job involves designing gear and accessories from various fabrics and other things, and I just wanted to say how much I appreciate that gorgeous aesthetic look you achieved by using the original seams and yellow stitching of the blanket in conjunction with the leather and the grommets! Well done sir! Beautiful work! Your video has inspired me to finally make my own Anorak!
Wow! I will be buying a blanket and making one myself. This was immensely informative and the design of the jacket is perfect! Thanks for another great video!
Bro! You have outdone yourself. As it happens my mother is a seamstress and as it happens I've worked in a factory sewing garments myself. Just 1 trick you missed which was you would usually make a paper pattern from the original disassembled garment. That way you can reuse your design and i guess you could find a program to transpose the pattern into digital form so you can share/sell it.
Thanks, man! That’s interesting that you have had that experience, very cool. It’s funny you mention the patterning and digitizing process… I actually had recorded a whole section about how I was going to import it into Adobe Illustrator, scale the images, and trace them to make digital patterns. I ended up cutting it from the video but I think I may make a separate video about that process at some point. I didn’t want to put that info out there without first validating that I could do it first. 😅 Once I replicate this jacket using the digitized patterns, I will feel better about sharing for sure. Fun stuff for sure! Thanks for the comment!
Pretty sweet. I just am not good with heat management without a 1/2 to full zipper. I will attempt to make this by fall and give you feedback. I used to make packs and such.
well done, sir, First, if this was your first sewing project, then you did an amazing job! I needed a lot more practice before I tackled something like this. Second, consider buying a seam ripper - it’s a simple and cheap tool that people use in sewing that makes the work of separating seams a lot easier than a Swiss Army knife. Keep em coming!
That’s really cool! I think a sewing machine just makes it faster, but if you have the time and patience it can turn out really well if done by hand. Thanks for sharing and good luck on making your gear!
Hey man love the vids I think a good Swiss Army knife is the Evo grip s18 can you do a review on it or maybe the whole Evo grip series thanks for reading man
Uh... I think I'd rather buy the thinner crappy version and just layer. It doesn't usually get all that cold where I live anyway. Thanks for sharing yours with us though!

Thank you for being here and for the feedback! I’m glad you got something out of the video.

My girlfriend makes dresses and she was very entertained. I appreciate the encouragement to attempt this. You made it seem easy.

Thanks so much for the comment! Means a lot coming from someone who knows their stuff. Thanks for being here.

Much appreciated! Hope you have fun building your own, you’ve got this!
This is the kind of content I love to see!
Glad you enjoyed it!
This is freaking awesome, I have some old sewing stuff from my grandma gathering dust, I should fix it up and make some stuff like this.
You can do it! You totally should!
You could also use a seam ripper

A zipper would be a huge benefit for sure! Love that idea. Can’t wait to hear about how it goes for you! Thanks for watching.
@@grimgranite I suppose if I want to really Bushcraft this. I could make a full lace up, or fashion buttons from a small tree.

I love your video
Thanks for watching! 🤓
I eont have a sewing machine but ive been trying to hand stitch gear from my worn through wool shirts. love the video..
That’s really cool! I think a sewing machine just makes it faster, but if you have the time and patience it can turn out really well if done by hand. Thanks for sharing and good luck on making your gear!
What I learned from this video was taking things apart to figure out how it works: clothing, machines, people..
I double stitch my wool with blanket and running stitch
Hey man love the vids I think a good Swiss Army knife is the Evo grip s18 can you do a review on it or maybe the whole Evo grip series thanks for reading man
Thank you! I will check it out, thanks for the recommendation.
Thanks man
I am going to try to make this
You’ve got this, you can do it!
Fan freekin tastic
Such an awesome channel!!!
Thanks for being here!
Thanks brother!!! 👍
AWESOME!
Outstanding
Thank you!
Where did you get that knife that you said it was a big knife to cut seams
Nice work!
Thank you!
i always say sewing your clothes is the difference in thinking in 2d and 3d, deff takes mental tenacity
Absolutely! 😅
Cool thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching!
Could I get a link or a pattern to the jacket
I don’t have a pattern digitized at this point. I basically found a jacket that fit and took it apart, then traced the parts.
Ur the best
Thank you for watching!
Thanks
They actually make a seam ripper that works way faster than a knife or clippers.
Also, cool project.
How could i do this without buying an anorak for the measurements
In the video I show that I cut apart an old sweatshirt to make the pattern. You could try that. 👍🏻
Thanks!
I love you
I mean I have never done anything like this but for 40$ I may have to
Absolutely worth it for the experience!

A project like this isn’t for everyone! Thanks for watching!
I used a wollen blanket-no pattern
.100% wool.
Any cotton content is a disaster
