    A few months ago, in January to be more exact, I made a rain poncho, guiding me a little about Angelus' work and screenshots of the film.
    I made a tutorial for the forum of Spanish Garrison, and now I will be translating it here little by little. I hope you like it

    --------------------------------------------------------------------

    Fabric: Black nylon 100% waterproof. 3 meters x 1.5 meters.

    The rain poncho consist in three main parts: yoke and collar(blue), cape (black) and breastplate(green).

    Let's go with the first one.
     
    Cape
     
    Cape is the most easy part. Consist of two rectangles, wich length is the size from the neck to the upper part of the boots, and width comes from the same point of the neck to the top of your fingers, putting your arms cross.

    Then you have to sew it together only on the red line, a little bit more of the half.

     
    Yoke and collar
     
    This part consist in another four parts: back, front right side, front left side and collar.
     
    Back:

    I give you mi sizes as reference. It's based on a XL size from CosplaySky suit.

    On the last image, the red line correspond to the seams need to be visible, about a 1" from the border.
     
    Next, the front left side (from the wearer's point of view) consist in two pieces:



    H.2 and H.3 need to be sew it together at the middle. H.3 will be on top of the front right piece. H.4 is the front right piece:

    Now that's how it should look:


    Grey part from H.4 will be hidden by H.3
    Again, visible seams are required. Red are 1" from the border, blue are 1/2":

     
    Bib

    So sorry if 'bib' it's not the correct name for this piece.
     
    The bib is quite simple to make. It consists of four sections, namely: two symmetrical sections, one inch wide, which will go on each side of the bib. A four-inch section on the left side, seen from the front, which will contain the pocket for the dosimeters, and finally a fourth central section.



     
    The two outer sections will go down to the edge of our suit jacket, while the other two inner sections will be two inches longer. Remember, once again, to leave seam allowances when cutting the fabric.
     
    The pocket in my case I made it four inches deep, enough to contain the dosimeters (at least the ones I have, manufactured by Malakili). For this I simply cut that section with the calculated length, plus twice the depth of the pocket, that is, eight inches. In this way simply by folding we get the pocket.
     
    The fourth and last section, the central one, is the simplest. Simply calculate the width to fill in the full width of the shoulder / neck part.
     
    And finally the visible seams. Across the bottom, seam to approximately a quarter of an inch to finish off the edge. Another quarter-inch seam in the center section over the pocket section. And most importantly, two cross seams in the pocket section. One inch horizontally from the edge of the pocket, and another vertically one inch to the left of the section. In this way we will "divide" the pocket in two, one of an inch almost useless and the other of three inches where the dosimeters will go. Earlier I said that this section will be four inches, although we now have a pocket really three inches wide. Keep in mind that a pocket less than two and a half inches wide we can have trouble putting two dosimeters.
     


     
    Another measure that I have forgotten to comment on before, is that the pocket will be approximately two inches from the top edge.
     
    And another thing to keep in mind when joining the three parts of the poncho, is that you have to form a "sandwich" in the following order from outside to inside: shoulders, cape and bib. I will leave some photos where I hope you can see well what I mean.
