Anyone able to supply/ sew camo hbt?

[deros]

I am after a short pullover parka, the type with a hood, half zip and internal chest/ external low kangaroo pockets. They are about in olive and woodland, flecktarn and splinter etc but I really would like someone to make me one in WW2 hbt puppy paw camo.

Does anyone know where or how I might get such an item made to my spec?. I did contact ATF but not unsurprisingly did not get a reply as it is proper custom work. Anyway, I can muse all I like but somewhere there is someone with the cloth and hardware and the expertise to do it.

 

Any leads?

Lots of various camo'd tops of the type you describe from this supplier. (though not in that specific pattern)

I know the company "The Hill-Side" did a run of the fabric:

And the have done Anoraks before:

I would talk to them and see what they could do. Just a warning though, it will cost a very pretty penny to get done.

 

Also since it is an Anorak you could also use an Shelter half or a poncho for material. Certainly more weather resistant and warmer than HBT. The former might actually b really good once treated with "Canvak". Several co. make USMC Camo Shelterhalves. Once you get the material you would just have to bring it to a competent seamtress with a good pattern and go from there.
