Sewing goat coats

[Huckleberry]

I made some coats earlier this year out of water resistant nylon and lined them with fleece. Then we sprayed them with several layers of water proofing spray. They were for a high buck hunt we ended up canceling due to bad weather so I can't give any advice on how well the fleece works. Hope to put them to use this year! I used polyester coated polyester thread and a 14/90 needle. Actually found the larger needle made too big of holes in the nylon I used, but your material will be heavier. I actully found them very easy to make and I do not sew. The rump darts were really easy and they fit the goats really well. A lot cheaper than buying one with the materials I used. Maybe Idaho Nancy will pipe in, I know she made some out of gortex.
