By request I'm posting a few pics of my new buckskin hunting frock. I didn't really want to advertise it to much seeing as how it's not a really nice frock like some of you can make but I guess that's just my foolish pride.
I tanned three hides, using eggs instead of brains. These weren't the first hides I've tanned, I also tanned the two for my leggings, but doing three in a row like that really was a work out. Two of the hides were deer that I had shot and the third was one my father-in-law shot.
I made my pattern from a wool frock that I have. I think I pulled out half my hair trying to figure this thing out, I'm no tailor at all or tanner for that matter but it should make a serviceable frock.
