I roughly modeled it after a GoRuck GR1... but had to pattern, so I made my own. This looks really nice - I like the way you've approached the problem. Any chance you would be willing to share your pattern? Quote

I only made a template for the front, and back/bottom. The rest I just kinda made up as I went. I may not be able to get to this until next week... Quote

Members joelpete Posted April 7, 2019 Author Members Report Posted April 7, 2019 Sorry, I know it's not much, but this is literally the only pattern I made up. The rest I just kinda created as I went and made adjustments as necessary. I used (approximately) 8oz veg tab for these two pieces, Buffalo hide for the sides, pocket, and strap cushions. The strap landings were 5oz veg tan. For the back piece, after cutting the veg tan I folded the bottom 90° (inside out) stitched the sides, back, and bottom together, then wet and turned right-side out. Quote
Members SickMick Posted April 9, 2019 Members Report Posted April 9, 2019 Great work...it looks awesome. Quote

I'm very appreciative for your taking the time to do this - I can get the sizes and everything from the cutting mat - great idea! Thanks! Tom Quote
Members joelpete Posted April 16, 2019 Author Members Report Posted April 16, 2019 @WeekendHobby, I was digging through some patterns and I found that I had made a pattern for the front pocket of the Buffalo/Bovine backpack as well! Good luck! Quote
