    My favorite project yet... A fellow ordered this with very specific requests. He wanted it to function as a back pocket for a HPG bag, be compatible with their Pocket Harness and Pocket Sling. He wanted a single column of MOLLE on each exterior side. Orange lining. Velcro loop on the bottom interior, and an admin organizer up top. Mesh pockets inside each wing.

    The coolest part, which I experimented with previously, is the opening method. It has a top which resembles the Rip Ruck design, able to be 'ripped' open for easy access. The bottom portion is a single center zip, so it can be laid wide open.

    I've not added the admin portion in the top yet, but you'll get the idea! :)

    And here it is with the Beaver Bucket ™. The Beaver Bucket ™ is an add on pocket which functions as a beaver tail for compression, and also as a pack bucket for carrying larger items. Long guns, umbrellas, tripods etc.

    Anyone ever use Macphee patterns?
    I have spotted a “Jacket” pattern that I want to make into a wool outdoor coat.

    … Example photos of the finished coat…

    BIG thing is that it is only 3 pieces. #1 Body #2-3 The either sleeve.

    I am thinking Roll collar with zipper.

    Never used them, but that's not a bad idea. I like the simple build.

    Started to recreate the Rip Ruck design above, as a model for photos and to use on the Umlindi. PXL_20210614_015411750.jpg

    Man life has been stupidly busy. Inventory prep at work, busy with kids etc. I've made a lot of stuff for folks lately in between. Tons of orders are rolling in for bigger stuff too! Here are a couple recent builds.

    @Twoody88 Your other items are coming along! I'll have pictures soon!
