Merchant & Mills - TN31 Parka

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. 

Suggested Fabrics:

Dry Oilskin, Oilskin (lined version only), Tweed, 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. For the lining, we’d suggest using a barrier lining if you are using oilskin such as cotton voile, lightweight linen, cotton poplin, hemp/cotton, lightweight wools or a traditional slip lining.

For the ribbing neckline, it is recommended to use rib that stretches by half again, i.e. 10cm piece stretches to 15cm. 

Notions:

Coordinating thread, 6 x buttons, approximately 17-22mm, 3.2M of drawstring cord

Difficulty: Advanced

Sizing: UK sizing 8 - 18
