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.

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

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.

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

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.
