Lunger Dan Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 ..but the damn things are very expensive- $4-500 . I have an outback duster with the wool insert, but that thing weighs a ton, feels very bulky and I have to take it off to shoot and get to my gunbelt.. Sooo...I bought a pattern pack for $9 and lucked out on finding an old Hudsons Bay 4 point Blanket with a ragged edge for $70 and made one.. Took numerous tries of sewing and re-sewing, but finally got it pretty much ok ...at least to where Im happy with it. Its kind of a bastardized "Long Hunter" designed Capote. All sewn by hand My gun belt fits over it and its a hell of a lot more comfortable and less bulky than the Outback.....and a bit more period correct, because blanket coats were still being made into the 80's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chief Rick Posted November 8, 2021 Share Posted November 8, 2021 That looks good. I don't get to wear it often but I have a Navy pea-coat that I wear as needed. Looked for a Bridge coat but had no luck at the time. I'm pretty much covered (pun intended) for most any weather condition between by Outback oilskin duster, Navy pea-coat and Outback Pak-A-Roo duster.

You'll have to create an account to verify your eligibility but they are available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
