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.
Skill level - experienced.
Fabric suggestions - Dry Oilskin, Oilskin (lined version only), Tweed, Woollens, Cotton Drill, 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 ribbing neckline use a rib that stretches by half again, i.e. 10cm piece stretches to 15cm.
Lining options; Brushed Cotton, Cotton Poplin, or a medium weight slip lining in viscose or acetate.
You will need
Matching thread.
Buttons - 6 x approximately 17-22mm. We have had 4 Corozo buttons dyed specially to match our oilskin colours. You can see thesehere.
