Merchant & Mills, The Paynter Jacket Paper Pattern

Paynter Jacket Co. makes 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.

This is a traditional paper pattern in an envelope that includes Merchant & Mills unisex sizes XS-XXL. If you would like a digital PDF version of this pattern, go here. 

Skill Level: Advanced. (Merchant & Mills has a blog post here, that shows you how to change the hip pocket to a patch pocket, this makes it an easier sew and also means you go through slightly less layers so you could use a thicker fabric.)

Merchant & Mills also has a video that takes you through the two trickier steps of the Paynter pattern, the placket and the hip pockets. You can view that video here.

For sizing, finished garment measurements, and fabric requirements see the charts in photos. For sizing, Merchant & Mills recommends checking the finished measurements against a jacket that you like the fit of.

Fabric Suggestions: 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.
