thanks Sean, I just started my blanket shirt , not sure how I want to do the sides yet , I looks like I'm wearing a poncho with a rope belt . its not wool but it looks native and it's warm .
@lancejparrish I was unsure of the neck line so just made it the same width as the template garment I was using for size. My advice is to make the hole small and then you can enlarge it as you need.
Is the blanket 100% wool and if so, which military is it from? It sems to be difficult to find 100% wool that doesn't cost a fortune. Enjoy your vids and thanks for sharing
Im 5ft 6in and 10 1/2 stone so a small guy. This blanket is small but my army blankets are huge and there would be more than enough material to make one for yourself.
100% wool blankets can be hard to find and expensive. You might want to try one of these as an alternative. I keep them for camping and general household use. www.harborfreight.com/60-inch-x-80-inch-wool-blanket-92625.html
You could, but then you will continually liftling the shirt body when raising your arms while working, canoeing, etc. Not recommended. Go the extra mile and put the gussets in.
Josh O I Know an old Mexican man that does too. but the ground is the floor in Mexico they used to sweep the floor until it was really smooth and flat basically it turns into concrete it gets extremely hard too.
Simple. Useful. Well done.
Keep up the good work.
Looks easy enough, I'll have to make one. Thanks Sean.
@chucknoir
It will work fine if you add the gussets under the arms like I show.

Thanks for sharing--- I have been wanting to make one for some time now.
Thanks for the reply. Ill look around for materials and see if I can make one.
I hadnt thought about the bunching up. Good thinking there.
That’s so cool.
Got the Wool Boreal Shirt from Lester River Bushcraft 100% wool, SO NICE....I saw it in the yurt series..

@MrBillTroop73
I'm not sure. I guess it would work. I was copying a pattern from another top. Have a go and let us know.

Thanks for the feedback. I appreciate it.
another great vid sean
@lancejparrish
I used another top that fitted me and used that for the template.
this what we call a "t" tunic pattern and the are simple and comfortable!
Could I just cut the armpits at a 45 degree angle in stead of cutting them at 90 and having to sew in diamond shapes?
nice ideal
nice video mate but you have to have plenty of time to do such a fine work.... out in the bush is much different
Dont we all.

or just cut one half of the dimond into the front half of the arm sleeve
