    Calculating down fill for a jacket

    Does anyone have a way to figure how much down I should put in each baffle on a jacket I am making? I bought 6 oz of 800 full down and my baffles are sewn through and the are 3-1/2” apart. My initial plan was to jus divide the 6oz up evenly on each baffle and go with that but I have a few...

    where did you get your hdpe sheet? after you sewed your sleeve (pants) did you sew it to the hdpe sheet? are you still using the 92 thread? I have a 26" frame and wish I had a 24" for whitetail hunting

    insulated pants

    I have a vest pattern from green pepper that I am going to use. Figured the sleeves would be easy enough to figure out without a pattern.

    Source for neoprene

    i bought some from amazon. The 3mm was too thick, so I bought some 1.5mm, and it was too thin. I gave up on sewing a scope cover. 2 or 2.5mm might be the right answer. 3mm would not fit under my sewing machine foot when it was doubled up

    Get a Carfax Report for Fellow Rokslider

    be careful buying a vehicle based on the carfax alone. I worked in a body shop and we saw many cars with poor quality prior repairs. Many customers said they had a clean carfax, but clearly the vehicle had been wrecked or had prior body repairs. i personally drove 2 trucks from one...

    would there be any issue with using PU coated fabric for a down jacket? I have a synthetic jacket someone made for me with apex insulation and 1.6 ripstop, but it is not very wind resistant. Looking for something more wind resistant, and down proof. I realize it will not breath, but I would...
