I never really took /r/myog seriously because a lot of the bags look shoddy, but the jackets look great. Will have a better trawl. This quote alone made looking at the first link worthwhile, would have never thought of this:
The trick is to cut all layers to the size of the outer shell, taking into account the thickness of the insulation. For instance if you’re going to have 1 inch thick insulation so the outer shell will be 1 inch from your body, you will have to add enough girth or width (and height) to the pattern to accommodate this. I took a couple of guesses with this jacket, and got a couple of things wrong, as I noted above. For instance, my horizontal down chambers puff up and effectively shrink the length by quite a bit, so the arms are a little too short.
Orders opening in september I think. ;)

I want to have a go at making a jacket now, love that. The red and blue anorak on their Instagram is so dreamy.
