Merchant & Mills : The September Coat Pattern
Overcoat meets duster. An oversized coat for striding through town and country with purpose.
Choose to make either lined or unlined.
The September works for a variety of seasons, in oilskin or wool it can be a proper winter coat, or in linen it feels like a casual throw on.
Skill level: Intermediate
Sizes: This is a multi-size paper pattern that comes in two size ranges, please ensure your selection reflects desired fit.
Please Note : The September has an oversized fit, always consult the finished measurements table to see how much ease you’d like in your coat.
*See images for more sizing information and fabric requirements.
Suggested Fabrics:
Dry oilskin, oilskin, mid – heavyweight linens, 7 – 12oz denim, wool corduroy, cotton twills or canvas. A heavier weight cloth will result in a more structured coat. For the lining a barrier lining is suggested if you are using oilskin. You could also use cotton voile, lightweight linen, cotton poplin, hemp/cotton, lightweight wools or a traditional slip lining.
Notions :
- Matching thread
- 5 x 2cm/3/4″ buttons
- Optional (recommended for most fabrics) 1.3M/1.5YD interfacing.
