FABRIC
The Ilford Jacket is designed for wovens and can be made from a wide variety of fabrics! For a boxier look go for a lightweight canvas, linen, denim, or corduroy. It also looks amazing in a drapey woven. When sewn up in a flannel, it is the perfect fall layering piece! The design lines of this pattern are simple enough that you have room to experiment with fabrics you may not have worked with before!
