Remember the kits to make down jackets and comforters?
#1
Years ago, before I was even close to being ready to tackle this kind of project, there was a catalog I got a few times a year. They sold kits of precut fabrics and all the stuffing and other stuff you'd need to make down jackets, comforters, sleeping bags, legwarmers, and probably bunches more. Can anybody remember the name of the company and know if they are still in business? Any info would be helpful!

Yep! I made a parka and a vest I believe! I think it was "Gerry", not sure if they even make down parkas anymore! I think it was the same company that went on to make baby strollers too..............................(this is way back...............maybe40 years ago!?) I was also in colorado when I made mine!

This an ebay offering for vintage down booties from Frostline. You might check with some of the other on-line sale sites to see if they have anything.

It was "frostline", and I also made several coats and snow bibs. I still have one kit for a jacket that I have saved since highschool. That was nearly 30 years ago. Someday I will make it.
