So yeah- I wont be sewing my own DIY Boreal shirt anytime soon. Kevin is casually creating an heirloom. His skill set is not something you can mimmick in a couple weekends. I already sent him 2 USGI blankets for his chop shop- He returned 1 Boreal and 1 Scout. I hate choosing which one to wear :). Thanks for the video-Long overdue behind the scenes. Now I have to find me a Hudson Bay donor.
Good afternoon Mr. Kevin, That was a beautiful boreal shirt that you made, But unfortunately I neither have the skill, the machine, or the money to make or purchase Myself one, as I am a senior on very fixed income
Is there a pattern to buy? I’d like to attempt making one out of grandpas wool blanket. I’ve not known what to do with this blanket we have stored. A winter jacket seems perfect.
This made my day. I have a blanket from my grandfathers sheep and would love to accomplish such a garment.
Be sure to go to Kevin’s page for details
I love watching anyone who is a master at their craft ,Kevin makes it look easy
Would love to have Kevin make this for me out of my Hudson Bay Blanket, will call him , Thanks for sharing!!
I have 2 from him...nothing compares to them. Price can sting, but 2 just dinners out with the family cost more.
Fantastic! One of best vids I’ve seen for a long time!
Very cool to watch you work Kevin! As it should, this video makes me want one of these awesome pieces! Good job on the video too.
This was great. Thanks so much for recording the process and posting the video.
Great to see how much work goes into the Shirts, Awesome Work Kev.
Really cool to see Kevin at his craft!

There are patterns all over the internet. Kevin leases his pattern to Lester River BushCraft
The 6 point Hudson bay is one of their heaviest blanket weights. Would a 4 point Hudson bay work also?
Yes!
What is the cost to convert your blanket into this awesome shirt.
Please check out the website, as you can see Kevin is a master at his craft!
