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.

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.
