The three versions I chose where in order
Hi Pendle, fabric is usually sold by the length, so a meter of what ever width the roll is. Selling by the sq/m would be difficult on a roll that isn’t a meter wide. I think that will be 1.5m wide.
Exactly as wh308 says
Very tidy, looks a good fit and ideal colour too. Is that single thickness or did you double the material up for added warmth?First hoodless smock almost complete just need antler buttons to finish, learnt a lot on this project, never done clothes before only hammocks and bags, turned out well.
Single thickness except for the shoulders and front chest area, I think it will be warm, I will do a gilet and trousers and looking forward to see how it fairs, regards Wayne

Yes I do see that but for me I only stalk woodland areas, the only few times I have stalked on the hill I wore my nomad I would think the light colours they do now could match similar to a nomad, regards Wayne

I've a swanni in those colours that I got while working over in NZ all the ground workers wore their swanni more than their steel toe boots
You don’t think the name and the old “little indians talking” joke had anything to do with it?This gentleman had the right idea but packed it in due to availability and price of suitable blankets:

Very interesting thread here. Would be keen to know what you think of it. I’m looking for something warmer now!!Hoping to get mine next week
Will take some pic and give an update.
Absolutely first class job there. I'm really impressed by your work, I would be proud to wear that smock. How long before you start taking orders?First hoodless smock almost complete just need antler buttons to finish, learnt a lot on this project, never done clothes before only hammocks and bags, turned out well.
I have a bit of refinement to do on the pattern, pocket would be better internal, hooded version next not in my size so that will be the tester and after the trousers but I would be happy to make you one, regards wayne
Don't look so glum! That's turned out really nice. Tidy job.First hoodless smock almost complete just need antler buttons to finish, learnt a lot on this project, never done clothes before only hammocks and bags, turned out well.
Where did you get your pattern in the first place? Or did you just base it off of another garment that you already have? I'd really like to make one of these with a front chest pocket which could protect binoculars.
I basically used my nomad as a rough pattern, I checked another wool smock as well and they are pretty much identical, here's what your looking for, slope the shoulder to the arm curve the from the bottom of the arm hole slightly taper in the neck line was around 3.5 inches deep but you can alter that to whatever you like, the back i made longer than the front and the neck line is a shallow cut only around an inch deep. most smock patterns are very much the same principle, if you have a hood then decide if you want two piece or sides and a middle and that's it, regards wayne
