Guys
I posted this over at the Gear forum…but to no avail…I have a Rab Generator jacket (primaloft1) and love it but want to add a hood. Am not a DIY guy so am looking for someone to do this custom work for me using 7D ~20D and PL1 or CSApex etc.
Can you guys recommend someone?

Good luck.

i pinged Tim and he's too busy. also sent email to ben…will see if he can make the synthetic stuff
If you have other ideas of specific people pls LMK
