The Design
The Denham Coat by Merchant & Mills is 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.
Recommended 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 a barrier lining is suggested if using an oilskin; otherwise use cotton voile, lightweight linen, cotton poplin, lightweight wool and slip linings.
Supplies and Notions
Thread; 16 x 2cm / 3/4" buttons*; 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.

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