RE: MtMan-List: MtMan clothing

Andrea,

I can't speak for everyone, but I make every item of clothing I use. Pants,
shirts, coats, mocassins, knife sheathes, shooting bags, you name it. I
learned how to tan my own leather because I couldn't (wouldn't) afford to
buy the ugly "gold" elk & deer hides I wanted.

I always make a 'pattern', no matter what I'm making. If it turns out right,
I save it. If it doesn't, or if I'm making a 'one-of-a-kind' item for
someone, I destroy it.

About the only thing I buy is cotton/linen shirts, but that's kind of
fitting, isn't it.

Hyar's luck,
Red Coyote
