Merchant & Mills : TN34 Parka Pattern
* Please note that this is a new parka pattern which has been redrafted for our unisex size range. We have also incorporated the hood into the pattern so no need for the hood addition with this pattern. Our TN31 Parka pattern has now been discontinued but the hood addition is still available here.
TN34 is a relaxed and versatile interpretation of the classic fishtail parka. Lined or unlined with a hood or ribbing, it can work for all seasons.
Size XS - XXXL
All seam allowances are 1.5cm unless otherwise stated.
Skill level - advanced.
Fabric suggestions - Dry Oilskin, Oilskin (lined version only), tweed, woollens, cotton drill, cotton canvas, waterproofed cotton and linens.
For the lining the Merchant & Mills would recommend using their barrier lining if you are making the oilskin version. Other lining options: brushed cotton, cotton poplin. The lining choice has to be substantial enough to accommodate buttonholes - this garment was designed for oilskin so the lining prevents oilskin touching the clothing.
For the ribbing neckline, Merhant & Mills has used rib that stretches by half again, ie. 10cm piece stretches to 15cm. You can also use premade ribs found on their website here.
Additional Supplies:
- 6 x buttons, approximately 17-22mm
- 3.2 metres of drawstring cord
- Matching Thread
