Hi Ron 👋 looks like a fun winter time project! I think I have a very similar red wool blanket! Hi to Justine too 👋 😊
@TheWoodlandEscape

Thanks Ronnie. They are a pretty easy garment to build. Might be tough getting Justine away from the fire and her pots and pans, perhaps you’ll just have to build it yourself, lol.

Keep the history coming. I’m willing to bet 99% of your viewers like it. Those that don’t can fast forward past it! You have a special lady there, to live that lifestyle with you. We don’t know how lucky we are nowadays, with modern tools,

That special lady likes history as much as I do and isn’t afraid of hard or dirty work. Hand tools did make Irving back then much more of an effort. Having said that it is nice to work and not hear motors!

I live just across the River Mersey from Liverpool and I have walked along sections of the Leeds Liverpool canal many times. It was completed in 1813 but was extended and completed (again 😊) in March 2009 so it continues along to Liverpool city river front.

When I was a young boy nearly 50 years ago my Grandma had a red blanket with black stripes. I asked if I could use it to make a mountain man coat. She said absolutely not! That her and my Grandpa had bought it in an antique store in Canada. That it was from the early 1800's or late 1700's. The blanket was given to me when she passed. I think I might use it for this shirt.

Here in Middle Tennessee, our local Lebanon Woolen Mill made blankets from our of local area's wool for nearly fifty years (until they changed over to acrylic fibers in the 1950s). I'd love to find one of the blankets made in our local mill for the US troops during WWI and WWII to make a similar trade shirt! Thanks for the information and the inspiration!
@TheWoodlandEscape

I’m sure they are still around Scott and if you live in the area the mill was located the odds of finding one is better. Have you tried advertising locally? You never know and secondly never drive by an antique shop with out a quick look. Better yet, tell antique dealers what your specifically looking for and they’ll keep an eye out for you. Good luck.

Always a treat to see your comments. Tell me about that smile, it has worked for her or on me for 35 years, lol. If people knew the true value of our consumer goods, they’d stop buying the junk. “ Only a rich man can afford poor tools”. I learn so much by applying my fathers advise when I was a child … if you need it make it!

Nice looking shirt, well fitting. I had never given much thought to the difference between a shirt and a frock. It makes sense though.

Thanks David. The closed shirt is much warmer and more comfortable to sleep in as well as it doesn’t get all tangled up in ones blankets.

That’s Awesome 😎your wife did a really good job it looks nice and cozy. My grandpa always told me to take care and pride of the things you build. He always wanted to build a cabin In Alaska before he died. I want to build me a log cabin one day in memory of him somewhere beautiful. Thank you for your videos Peter.👍

Sounds like a wise Grandpa. Pity he never realized his dream but, perhaps your build will be all the more special and meaningful. We appreciate your interest, Antonio.

I absolutely love the educational aspects of your videos. I’m awestruck when it comes to the talent it takes to make textiles and tools, and the implements it requires to make just about everything! I would love to learn how to make that waist sash, it’s really a nice accessory for your new trade shirt.

If your interested in getting started at the weaving hobby, check out inkle looms. We did an episode on sash making.

It will indeed and it is the most comfortable out wear to boot. Great for sleeping when I go trekking as the closed front doesn’t get all tangled up in my blankets.

We basically mad3 the shirt in a day. Cathy’s sash is hand finger woven by a very good friend. We do have a video on finger weaving. If you go to our playlist you’ll find it.

That coat was amazing. My wife knitted me a hat in the colors of the old Hudson Bay trading blankets. I wanted her to make me a Capote out of my blanket but when she discovered it was over 100 years old she forbid it. So I'll buy a new blanket for the coat. I thought you were going to touch that pan prime off in the cabin. Lol
@TheWoodlandEscape
@TheWoodlandEscape Год назад
Thanks Jack. I like to prime when possible where it is not raining … haven’t touched it off in the cabin yet but, there is a first time for everything.

Very good tutorial. We have a homestead group, the last meeting was on hands on carding and spinning. The ladies will make and use natural dies on cotton and wool at the next meeting. All things wool is the teachers passion but she absorbs anything that is discussed.
