Re: MtMan-List: capotes

Kirk, I have a couple of pieces of advice when making a capote.  First, make
sure you have good ventalation while cutting and sewing.  The wool makes a
lot of lint.  It really makes me sneeze.  The higher quality the wool, the
less it does this, but all will be pretty "dusty".

Second, unless you feel like you really need themt, don't put those long
ties on the hood.  They get caught on everything and end up at the bottom of
the hooter!   After having a capote that wraps around and a long tailed wool
shirt, I much prefer the shirt.  If I were to make another capote for
myself, I would put buttons on it.
