April Maker Challenge #6/30: ninjashawl

From sketches

What: I want to make a custom ninjashawl! something that i can pop on and off while keeping my messenger bag on. Remember Cobra? from GI Joe?. OOOOhhhhhYEeah. Minnesota cold aint got SHIT on Cobra yo. (i realize Cobra only had a blue sheet on his head - but i thought the aesthetic worked similar)
... shut up.

Objectives: create a warm-ish ninjashawl. should keep me warm if i chose to bike in 0F weather (thats -18C to my metric bretheren). Should have minimal frost/snot buildup by the nose/mouth area. Machine washable. Cannot hinder use of sweet Chrome messenger bag.

How: probably start with butchering a thriftstore coat with Goretex for outer. thinking of a nice microfleece inner, not sure if insulative material is needed. Would like to have the snot area be removeable and machine washable. Magnetic snaps would be nice and seamless, but may interfere with headphone use. Buttons are little cumbersome with gloved hands - so it might be fastex buckles, stretch-cord on buckles or maybe even pop-snaps.

Application: i will destroy GI joe. also, will keep warm on the minneapolis greenway.
