    My last project is now finished: Andrus

    One step further to the ultimate softshell
    -pattern is mostly self-developed but based on shelby´s nallo pattern with a lot of alterations. No piece is original.
    -Material is Polartec Powershield light (blue) and Polartec Powershield (grey).
    -Hood adjustment with three grommets and not sewn on cord-stopper works way better than sewn on. I would really recommend that construction.
    -Cuffs and Hood brim are bonded with sewfree. It works really well even on brushed softshell-backsides
    -Displacing the front-pocket-zippers to the side eliminated the unaesthetic pre-belly bulge I usually had in my former projects.

    Your photos are not showing up on my computer.
    Sounds like a great project, interested to see it…

    The only downside is no one will ever believe you made it yourself. It looks to pro.

    Hi Andrus

    Fancy writing it up as a BPL MYOG project? Assistance with the writing is available.

    Cheers

    That was kind of what I was thinking… when I first read the post I wondered "So, what company did he get to make a custom pattern for him"… then I thought "wow…"

    Great design/execution! Did you ever consider a drop-tail? I find a lot of usefulness with one on my jackets.

    Well, that´s a downside I can live with! ;-) But there´s still room for further improvements left.

    "Did you ever consider a drop-tail?"
    The pattern uses a slight drop-tail. Just about 1" so you can´t see it at the photos.
