I have got an old Sail; can I use it to make a Jacket?

There is nothing better than having a jacket or bag made up from your own sail, you will then have a jacket that is truly unique to you.  As a general rule maim sails make good bags and Genoas and Gibs tend be better for Jackets, however all of this depends on the size of yacht they have come from.  Unfortunately supplying your own fabric does not mean the Jacket or Bag will be cheaper as the time involved cutting out an individual Jacket or Bag from an individual sail can often take longer. If however you can supply a significant quantity of usable fabric we can look at the possibility of discounting your customised items.  Please call Head Office on + 44 (0) 870 777 1651.
