Merchant & Mills TN31 Parka

TN31 by Merchant and Mills is a relaxed and versatile interpretation of the classic fishtail parka. With lined and unlined options, it’s a pattern that can work for all seasons. Full of functional details, it features both side pockets and front welt pockets, a back vent, and optional drawstrings at the waist and hem for a flattering fit and winter warmth!

Recommended Fabrics:
Oilskin, dry oilskin (lined version only), tweed, wool, cotton drill, canvas, waterproofed or waxed cotton, or linen. Using something hardy like oilskin will ensure it keeps its structural shape, but it would look equally good in something more slinky like a Tencel Twill!

Lining options include brushed cotton, cotton poplin, or a medium weight slip lining in viscose, bemberg, or acetate.
For the ribbing neckline, they have used rib that stretches by half again (i.e. 10” piece stretches to 15”)

We're also super excited to be carrying the multicolor stripe ribbing that Merchant & Mills designed for their patterns! You can check out all the colors in the links below.
