Collared

This is one of the earlier style ones I did.  This used a moving blanket for the padding.  I tried the collar on this but found it trapped too much heat.  I also spaced the stitching closer which resulted in a much stiffer garment that with a kidney protection is suitable for body armor.  I can’t really recommend this style but have it here for comparison purposes.  If I was in a much colder clime this might work, but the denser padding also took longer to dry, adding to it’s own problems.
