Suggested Fabric:

  • Dry Oilskin, Oilskin (lined version only), Tweed, Woollens, Cotton Drill, Cotton Canvas, Waterproofed Cottons and Linens. Using something like oilskin will ensure it keeps it structural shape, but it would look equally good in something more slinky like a Tencel Twill.
  • For the neckline ribbing choose a rib that stretches by half again, i.e. 10cm piece stretches to 15cm.
  • Barrier lining is recommended if you are making the oilskin version. Other lining options include brushed cotton, cotton poplin, or a medium weight slip lining in viscose or acetate.

Additional Supplies:

  • 6 x buttons, approximately 17-22mm
  • 3.2 metres of drawstring cord
  • Matching Thread

All seam allowances are 1.5cm unless otherwise stated. Neck has 1cm seam allowance.
