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.
