Denham- Merchant & Mills

Inspired by a vintage Austrian hiking jacket. This neat mid-season piece is perfect for all weathers. A double breasted jacket that can be lined or unlined. It features two flap pockets and a button tab to close the collar.

Denham is more closely fitting than other Merchant & Mills patterns, do carefully check the finished measurements table, and if in doubt size up.

All seam allowances are 1.5cm unless stated otherwise and are included in the pattern.

Skill level; Intermediate.

Suitable fabrics - dry oilskin, oilskin, linen, 8 -12oz denim, wool, corduroy, cotton twills or canvas. A heavier weight cloth will result in a more structured jacket.

For linings we'd suggest  barrier lining if using an oilskin, otherwise - cotton voile, lightweight linen, cotton poplin, lightweight wool and slip lining

What you will need:

Matching thread.

16 x 2cm / 3/4" buttons*

Optional (recommended for most fabric): 0.9M/1YD interfacing.

If making an unlined jacket you will need 0.4M / 1/2YD of lining for the pocket bags.

*Option - 3 smaller buttons can be used on the tab and lapel, in which case you will need: 13 x 2cm / 3/4" and 3 x 1.5cm / 1/2" buttons.
