I want to say at the outset that I am not a videographer. This was shot on an iPhone 7 plus so there will be a few pieces that are out of format.
Empire Wool and Canvas was the original designer of what we call the Boreal shirt in his configuration that has been copied by others.
Kevin allowed me to bring up this blanket to take advantage of his blanket conversion option. We measured and then cut! No issue for me. I don't revere the blanket as it is a tool.
I hope you enjoy the process as much as I did

This made my day. I have a blanket from my grandfathers sheep and would love to accomplish such a garment.

I have 2 from him...nothing compares to them. Price can sting, but 2 just dinners out with the family cost more.

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.

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.

There are patterns all over the internet. Kevin leases his pattern to Lester River BushCraft

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
