Merchant & Mills Paynter

Merchant & Mills sewing pattern. Paynter Jacket Co. make limited edition jackets four times a year that are made to order, so there's no waste from over production. Their jackets are classic pieces that will stand the test of time and get better with age. The Field Jacket is Paynter's first make-your-own jacket pattern in collaboration with Merchant & Mills.

All paper patterns will include two woven labels, one is to be positioned inside the jacket near the hip and the other is a smaller label for the back neck. The larger label has been designed by @hello.ludio. Lucie’s design features the sun and the moon to represent time and getting lost in the practice of making. These labels are only available in the paper pattern, not PDF, and won’t be sold elsewhere.

Skill level: advanced. All seam allowances are 1.5cm unless stated otherwise and are included in the pattern. This is a multi-size paper pattern including sizes XS – XXL.

Suitable fabrics: light to medium weight wovens up to 8oz, cotton twills, denim, wool and dry oilskin. There are 9 layers to sew through during the pocket construction, so check the fabric you choose can be accommodated by your sewing machine.

You will also need: 13 x 2 cm / ¾" buttons; 4 x 1.2-1.5 cm/ ½” buttons; 0.8 m / 1yd interfacing; 10 cm / ¼ yd lightweight cotton for pocket flap tabs, if using heavy fabric.
