Looking to make (or have made) a sheepskin jerkin as worn in ww1 by commonwealth troops. the design itself is easy enough, rough sheep or goatskin, hair side out, fastened crudely, button and leather loop or simply a belt.
My first thought was to get a couple of rugs from ikea and cut to shape then hand sew with stout thread. these may come up a bit white and nice though ....
any suggestions from anyone as to where I might source the materials or have one made?
