I'm preparing for a fall/winter trip and I've never gotten big into cloth making. I was wondering if anyone could help out in the subject. Taking a pelt of deer/bobcat/etc and making fur head wear and other clothing ideas for the cold if needed.

Thanks
 
I really like the Buckskinner type Fur Trade era Clothing Fur Hat's and such, Your gonna have to study/research Brain Tanning and the handleing of Raw Fur's In general would be a Good start the Internet Is full of Information on the subject, Chech this Site out and If I find some more I'll add the link's, http://www.braintanned.com/index.html

Here's some more Info. http://pods.dasnr.okstate.edu/docushare/dsweb/Get/Document-2046/ANSI-3998web.pdf

Here's a Site with all the equipment you'll need maybe some Good Book's on the subject, They also sell Fur's already Tanned that are ready to make what ever you want, http://www.fntpost.com/Categories/Fur+Handling/

Also, if you want stuff made, but not necessarily make them yourself, Gorlic's Trading makes lots of stuff. I have had many hats and things made by them.

However, they are old school, with no real web presence that I can find. You can google them, find a phone number, call them and have them send you a catalog.

Very quality work!
