All seam allowances are 1.5cm unless otherwise stated.

Skill level - beginner.

Fabric suggestions - Oilskin, Dry Oilskin, Mid-Heavy weight Cotton Canvas or Drill, Mid weight Denim (8-14oz) for the lining we suggest something like a simple cotton or Duck Canvas.

You will also need:

2.5cm (1") Leather Strap 70cm

4 x Rivets approx 9mm

2 x D Rings 2.5cm (1")

When inserting the rivets we recommend using a very solid surface like a cement floor so there is no movement.
