Blanket Overcoat Pattern

[drsimm1776]

A ways back someone shared a pattern for making a blanket into an overcoat - try as I might my computer refuses to "cough it up"! It was
a copy of a article in a southern newspaper. One gentleman had sent me
a pdf of the steps he went to to make one.
I would appreciate a copy.
thanks,

Could have been Mark Jaeger. He made a nice one.

drsimm1776, remember to sign your full name so the mods don't get cranky at you.

And if the pattern appears I'd be interested in seeing it. I am interested with "field repair" equipment. The Boys of '61 - '65 were very ingenious in their field repairs.

The pattern indeed came from Mark Jaeger in the Winter 2005 issue (Vol 13, No. 1) of "The Watchdog". It is a very informative article based on a diagram in a contemporary newspaper, The Weekly Mississippian, from one Landy A. Linsdsey. There was considerable discussion in older posts that I'm sure were lost in the crash, but I made a wonderful blanket coat with the information provided from Mr. Jaeger and I was very pleased with the results.

Well, when the cat's away...the mice will play. I no longer reenact, but I do like to drop in and visit old friends from time to time. :wink_smil

Yours, &c.,

Re: Blanket Overcoat Pattern

The WINTER 2005 issue (vol 13, no. 1) of The Watchdog is still available. it is only two bucks (postage included) for AC members.

Now that The Watchdog is on the "approved" list, I am all to happy to make a plug.

My apologies for dragging up such an old thread but does anyone have access to this particular research article? The link on the links page is broken and the search tool yields this thread which has precious little information

*edit*

Disregard!

Mr. Jaeger emailed me the data..... if anyone else wants it, drop me a line.
