The Men's Pathfinder is designed for an average height of 5'10" (177cm).  It may be lengthened or shortened to preference.  

 

Suggested Fabrics

Exterior: I like to use vintage woolen blankets, but you can use any warm fabric such as wool, wool blends, corduroy, denim, pre-quilted cottons, or velvet.  Fleece and soft-shell are also suitable fabrics.  You could also use quilting cottons for a spring wight vest or quilt an extra layer in between the exterior and lining fabric for extra warmth.  Sherpa and lightweight suede make for a stunning vest.  

Lining: Traditionally you would use a slippery fabric for lining; however, cotton, linen, and flannel work well too. If using I lightweight exterior fabric, you could use a pre-quilted polyester lining to provide extra warmth.  

Supplies & Notions

  • Spool of coordinating thread
  • Button(s) or toggle(s)
  • Cord elastic for fastening loops (optional - approximately 7"/18cm per button)
  • If using a heavyweight fabric, you might benefit from a walking foot

Fabric Requirement Chart

You will need the following amounts for both the exterior and the lining fabrics.  You may need more if matching plaids/checks or if you have a directional fabric.  If adding batting for a puffer-style vest, then you will need the same amount of that too.
