Re: Dwarven short sleeved wool coat - kit update

actually, apart from it being a little shorter, it's almost exactly patterned from Kili's coat in The Hobbit, with splits front and back but not at the sides, I just didn't do the extra piece of fabric over the shoulders, if I had it would probably be more waterproof but it looks a bit to modern to...

Re: Dwarven short sleeved wool coat - kit update

Re: On the subject of blankets and shelters
