Help Makin A F Vs J Jacket

[Romero Deciple]

im gonna make a fvsj jacket and i wanted to know where i can get some burlap material (not a website) at a store like hobby lobby or somethin and good thread too so to keep the burlap together for long lasting wear

Walmart has it really cheap. You also might be able to get ya a pattern there as well.

Yup, Wal*Mart. They even have a few shades of burlap. Go with the darker of the 3.

DO NOT buy the crap they have at Walmart. The weave is too loose and it won\'t look right. Spend the extra $1.00 a yard and go to a fabric store like JoAnns or Michaels. Trust me. I\'ve made over 30 vs jackets. The Walmart burlap isn\'t much better than the junk they sell at the hardware stores for wrapping tree roots.

whell i make and sell the jackets too! and i have found that the wal-mart burlap is actualy pretty damn good! but its to "clean" and the fact i will never ever shop at a wal-mart store ever again makes me go to the fabric store and get the darker more ratty burlap which is perfect for the jackets!! Megga is not the only one who makes jackets........2 bloody , justin mabry and Jason have ordered from me as well as the prototype i sold on e-bay--- E-mail me for pics and info! i have 3 just about ready to ship to these fine people!!! enjoy!

yes yes i know the lining is black but this is the prototype!!!! not perfect but these new jackets are amazing...which is why i sold this one :-) same detale higher quality and off white liner inside!!!! stiched with heavy duty thread and reinforced seams for super durabillity.........and made to order :-) pre fight pre burn or post both!!!

Get the burlap from the fabric store with the higher thread count, (more threads per inch for a tighter weave) it\'s a heavier burlap and hangs a lot better than the looser stuff from Wal-mart. As far as the worn and frayed areas go, while you\'re at the fabric store, look for the "Aleen" products. They make a little bottle of this anti-fray liquid that seeps into fabric and dries flexible. Put some around each frayed area inside the jacket prior to installing the dark khaki lining. This will keep the holes and tears in the shape you want them. (I\'m waiting for someone to dispute the color of the lining. Gloveman bought both of the jackets from the movie so don\'t take my word for it.) The side of the liner that\'s going to be facing out through the holes in the burlap is going to be more easily "weathered" before you install it. Cut the sleeves about an inch and a half longer than you\'ll be wearing them since the fraying, if you do it right, will eat up that much material.


Peace out.
