Making the Bushcraft Jacket Everyone Wants

How to make a bushcraft anorak jacket out of a wool blanket for cheap! I have been getting a TON of comments on where I got my green jacket from, but I believe it's better to build your own for a lot of reasons! Here is a link for the blanket I used: amzn.to/444DpGT
You can learn a lot about how clothes are made by taking apart something that fits you and creating a pattern out of it. This is a great self-reliance survival skill to learn!

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 KZfaq 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.

What I learned from this video was taking things apart to figure out how it works: clothing, machines, people..

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

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 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!

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!

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.

@grimgranite Жыл бұрын

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.

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!
