Chapter 905: Down jacket and straw coat (below)

Although a thicker cloth was used to wrap the velvet, Marin found that the special thing was still a bit velvet. Because the textile technology of this era is not enough, the cloth still has small gaps. The fluff is very small and naughty, and it is easy to show out from the stitches of the cloth.

Therefore, the immature version of the down jacket made by Marin will still fall down, but the speed is relatively slow. Anyway, it can last for two or three months.

However, in this way, most people can't stand it. Be aware that the velvet required to make a down jacket is worth nearly 10 gold coins. And in two or three months, if these velvets have fallen out, it would be very cost-effective.

Therefore, the most cost-effective way is to use duck down and ordinary goose down. But ducks are sloppy, and duck feathers often smell of feces. Therefore, it is necessary to deodorize duck down before making down jacket.

However, this problem should not be significant. Because the cobblers have the ability to deal with the smell of fur. Even if duck feathers and leather are different, as long as you think of ways, you can still get it. As long as the peculiar smell of duck feathers and common goose feathers is removed, and the wind is used to fleece, the cost of down jackets will be greatly reduced.

As for the problem of fluff, this problem was solved by the great little Caesar ...

One day, the little prince Caesar mischievously mischievously folded a large sheet of oil paper in the storage room and put it on as a tabard. Then, he played a war game with the future Pope Robert.

After Marin met, he grabbed the future Caesar Emperor and waved his hand at the little PP. Then, because of the excessive movement, the fluff of his down jacket flew out and landed on the oil paper "clothes" dressed by Caesar ...

"Yes, oil paper will not leak velvet!" Marin was instantly inspired.

So, Marin found a tailor. When sewing the down jacket, there were two layers of oil paper wrapped between the two layers of cloth, just sandwiching the velvet. Then, close the gap. In this way, a down jacket lined with oil paper appeared.

However, this down jacket has a big flaw-it is not easy to wash ...

This is because although oil paper is not afraid of water, it is terribly rubbing, especially after using soap. Soap is degreased, the oil skin of the oil paper is washed with soap, and then rubbed again ... the oil paper will be scrapped directly ... Then, should the lint or lint ...

Therefore, this new type of down jacket cannot be washed, especially with soap. How to solve the problem?

After thinking, Marin has two solutions in his mind-one is the raincoat solution, which is to apply the latex collected on the rubber tree to the inner layer of the fabric to make something like a raincoat. In that way, with the latex coating, the down jacket will not fall down.

This plan is the best, but the problem is that-now the Grenada and Cuban colonies of Marin only plant a batch of seeds of rubber trees, and are still in the seedling stage. It takes about six or seven years to cut the glue, and Marin can't wait.

Therefore, Marin can only use oil paper to wrap the fluff first to prevent the fluff from falling out. However, the down jacket wrapped in the inner layer of oil paper cannot be washed and kneaded. To this end, Marin can only use one way to avoid this situation-that is, add a coat to the down jacket ...

This case draws on the way of quilt cover for later generations. Quilts for later generations are generally rarely changed, because the quilt is covered on the outside. Usually the quilt is dirty, just change the quilt and remove the quilt directly.

Marin's method is to treat the down jacket enclosed in oil paper as a cotton tire, and then add a layer of quilt-like cover on the outside. In this way, I am not afraid that this down jacket needs to be changed and washed.

Moreover, the cover can be made of silk, which can be made very gorgeous, which is convenient and high-grade ...

...

Of course, this is just the current compromise. When the rubber tree can be tapped, Marin will make people make rain-proof cloth, which can be used to make down jackets. And, not afraid of scrubbing.

In addition, the processing technology of duck down and goose down must be mature by then. By then, the cost of down jackets will be greatly reduced. Unlike using velvet now, it is too expensive to die.

...

However, no matter how to reduce costs, ordinary people can not afford down jackets, even duck down jackets. Therefore, in order to protect the people from freezing, Marin also needs a civilian version of warm clothing.

Because of the adobe house and the Kang, farmers in the North Sea country will not freeze to death as long as they hide on the Kang at home. However, the large Beihai country always needs labor to do things. Moreover, those who can afford down jackets are basically nobles, and it is impossible to do rough work by themselves. Therefore, Marin needs to find a way for the bottom-level farmers so that they can work outdoors normally ...

There is no need to think about cotton coats. Although cotton seeds are available, it is not overnight to reclaim Savannah colonies. Moreover, even if the cotton is planted, the harvest in the first year is certainly very small, and the largest supply is for the nobility to be a quilt or something. As for ordinary people, I'm sorry, I can't afford it, and there are not so many products ...

Whether it's the down jacket made by Marin, or the currently popular multi-layer sheepskin jacket, they are all costly and can't equip the bottom serf. Not to mention the serfs, even the army soldiers are equipped, the cost is also scary.

Therefore, because of the cold, most of the soldiers in the barracks now shrink to the kang in the barracks. Only a small number of soldiers who need to be on duty will distribute a batch of multi-layer sheepskin jackets for cold protection. But most of the soldiers are still hiding on the hot kang in the barracks to keep warm.

...

How to make the bottom serfs and ordinary soldiers have cold-proof clothing, so they can not be afraid of bitter cold, has become a big problem that Marin has to solve now. It wasn't until Marin went to inspect a camp of the First Army that Marin found a way ...

On this day, Marin took Schwartz and others, wearing down jackets, patrolling a camp of the First Army outside Aurich to see the combat readiness of the soldiers. As a result, Marin found that the discipline in the camp was pretty good. At the very least, the soldiers in charge of guards stand outside the barracks without fear of the cold. Of course, they all wear multiple layers of sheepskin jackets.

But in the barracks, most of the soldiers did not have the kind of multi-layer sheepskin jacket, which was a bit cold, so they had to hold a group to brag on the Kangpu kang.

However, the behavior of a soldier going out to the toilet caught Marin's attention ...

This warrior needs to be large and must go out to find the toilet. However, he does not have a multi-layer leather jacket, and it will definitely be cold to go out ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ So, he took out an "artifact" and put it on his body, and went out ...

What kind of "artifact" is it? It turned out that he was dressed in a raincoat that was used to prevent rain in rainy days, that is, the ancient "raincoat" made of thatch ...

Although it was ugly to wear, the soldier walked out of the barracks without fear of cold. However, when the toilet squatted, PP was almost frozen by the cold wind ...

This is not the point, the point is-thatch woven straw can really protect against cold ...

Marin personally asked the soldier in the tens of thousands of toilets to come and try on the clothes, and found that although there was no down jacket to keep warm, it was basically able to defend against the cold. It's just that the legs are unprotected and still very cold.

But this is not a problem. Let the women and the elderly who prepare the clothes look for ways to make straw pants ...

In this way, Marin found that the use of thatched clothes and pants not only protected against rain, but also protected against cold. The only drawback is probably heavier. After all, it is incomparable with down jackets.

However, it also has its advantages, and the advantages are great-extremely cheap!

Yes, like straw shoes, this kind of straw trousers that only needs yellow thatched grass can be woven, it really does not cost much, it takes up to a little time. However, for people of this era, winter time is the most. Weaving clothes and weaving straw pants are not a problem at all.

So, Marin personally issued an order to order the provinces to promote this kind of straw trousers. There are even straw hats. Then, the serfs wearing the three-piece straw thatched straw straw hats, straw pants, and straw hats were able to get out easily even in the cold weather. Although the straw coat is ugly, for the serfs struggling on the survival line, it would be a great luck to be able to survive the cold winter. Therefore, they have no choice at all ... 8) More exciting novels, welcome to visit everyone's academy
