I've been a sailmaker for 30+ years and can sew anything and get the material needed at our cost. First thought's...
I'm thinking 2 pieces one for the lid/dome and a second piece for the main body.
The top should overlap down about 2 inches? and the main body "jacket" should extend down to ground level+
Obviously we need access to vent's and door, I'm thinking of using nomex Velcro for the door/door
and again vertically to close the main body "jacket"
Openings for handles and top vent seem simple enough, cut them out and sew binding material around them to prevent fray.
The fabric's needed for the two main pieces are very easy for me to buy. Then I would just make a good pattern and sew it all up.
Let me know what you think, lot's of possibilities. Custom embroidering on the outside, custom thermometer holes or handle slits where needed could be done pretty simply.
It's gonna' be cold soon enough, let's get this thing done.
