Merchant and Mills Sanda Jacket (Paper Pattern)

An oversized coat or jacket with a rolled collar and turn back cuffs. Coat has inseam pockets and jacket has patch pockets. Choose to make either lined or unlined.

All seam allowances are 1.5cm unless stated otherwise and are included in the pattern.

Skill level; intermediate.

Suitable fabrics – Dry oilskin, oilskin, linen, 7-12oz denim, wool, corduroy, cotton twill or canvas. A heaver weight cloth with result in a more structured coat.

For linings we’d suggest our barrier lining if using an oilskin, otherwise – cotton voile, lightweight linen, cotton poplin, lightweight wool and slip linings.

Tash and Mahe are wearing the Sanda coat in 12oz Painter’s Navy. Tash is a size 8 – 10, this sample is a 12 so is an oversized fit on her. Note this was an early sample and the pattern was lengthened later on. Our patterns are drafted for a height of 5.6, so if you make as per pattern it should be mid calf. Tash is 5.3.

Judy is wearing the Sanda coat in a navy boucle wool, but our boiled wool would also be perfect. Judy is a 10 – 12, and is wearing a size 12. Judy is 5.6.
