Merchant & Mills sewing pattern. 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 a lot of Merchant & Mills' other patterns, do carefully check the finished measurements table, and if in doubt size up.

Skill level: Intermediate. All seam allowances are 1.5cm unless stated otherwise and are included in the pattern. This is a multi-size paper pattern including sizes 6 – 18.

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.

You will also need: 16 x 2cm / 3/4" buttons (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); 0.9 m /1 yd interfacing (optional). If making an unlined jacket you will need 0.4 m / 1/2 yd of lining for the pocket bags.
