From Merchant & Mills:

TN31 is a relaxed and versatile interpretation of the classic fishtail parka. Lined or unlined it can work for all seasons. It has side pockets, front welt pockets, a back vent and optional drawstring waist.

Recommended Fabrics:

  • Main 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 we think it would look equally good in something more slinky like a Tencel Twill.
  • Lining - For the lining we would recommend using our Barrier Lining if you are making the oilskin version. Other lining options; Brushed Cotton, Cotton Poplin, or a medium weight slip lining in viscose or acetate.

Note: The hood option is available as a separate PDF pattern available for purchase. Click here for information. There are two hood options, you can either make a hood that is detachable with buttons or a hood that gets sewn in. This includes the pattern pieces and instructions for both options. Please note you have to already have the TN31 Parka pattern in order to make the hood, the PDF comprises just the additional pattern pieces with instructions for those parts. 

Sizes: UK 6 - 18
