My first hunting frock

[DelSnavely]

Well I don't post much, but that doesn't mean that I'm idle...lol The first hunting frock I've ever made. The stitching is all 1/8" saddle stitch and I punched every hole by hand. I used the Eagle Patterns variation, but decided against all the extra fringe. I started making it before I really read ALL the directions, so it's 2 sizes too big for me...lol It says to cut the pattern 1 size smaller if you're working with leather. Instead, I cut it 1 size too big, to make sure it would fit,,,ya right...lol It turned out great though. I hope the link works.

a little bigger is always better in my book.That way ya got room for a couple wool shirts or whatever underneath n not feel all bound up tight when ya got it on. Plus yer gonna gain a few around the middle here directly LOL everybody does, just about, when they hit the half centuary mark. You have been fore warned LOL

Really Nice!!

I made my first one out of linen look-alike, and it's too small. When I put on wool underneath to stay warm, it gets snug. I think you did good.

Best to make 'em big.........more room for your winter layers.

Nice looking frock.......how many hours woud you estimate went into it?

 

[omarick1948]

Del, Very nice job, but your not fooling me! :bull: .... You made that extra big, so you can carry all those powder horns of mine you had me make all at once!

Good to hear from ya!

Rick .... :blah:

 

[DelSnavely]

Thanks a lot guys!
Rick, I have gotten so many compliments on those horns it's unbelievable.
I still think they'd be a little bulky all at once...lol

Thanks again!

I'd probably say I have maybe 20-25 hours in it, but being the first, the second should be quicker.
