Description
Description
The TN34 Parka by Merchant & Mills is a relaxed, versatile take on the classic fishtail parka. Designed as a unisex style, it can be made lined or unlined, with a choice of hood or ribbed neckline, giving you plenty of options for creating a jacket to suit different seasons.
This newly redrafted version is part of the Merchant & Mills unisex size range and now includes the hood within the main pattern, so there is no need to purchase a separate hood pattern. It replaces the discontinued TN31 Parka pattern.
Choose a structured fabric to make the most of the parka's distinctive shape. Dry oilskin is particularly well suited, while cotton drill, canvas and waterproofed cottons or linens are also great options. For the lined version, woollens, tweed and regular oilskin can also be used.
For the lining, choose a fabric such as brushed cotton, cotton poplin or a medium-weight viscose or acetate lining.
Suggested Fabrics:
Dry oilskin, oilskin (lined version only), tweed, woollens, cotton drill, cotton canvas, waterproofed cotton and linen.
