Will Do , and it looks like i'll have to , went lookin now that i know the spelling and all thats out there are originals being sold on ebay for 100 bucks plus , and as they were made out of a heavy cotton garbadine theres also the weight\bulk issue.As soon as i find a supplier in the UK that does the same material as the US Army poncho (coated ripstop nylon i believe)then i'll get to work knocking one up (well i say me but what i really mean is finding someone with a sewing machine to do it for me )
