An old favourite completely re-imagined and re-drafted as a new pattern: the TN31 Parka has made way for the TN34 Parka. The TN34 Parka is the perfect spring mac for everyone, with an integrated hood and a new design that’s been graded for the perfect unisex fit in seven sizes from XS to XXXL.
Please note: the TN31 Parka pattern has been discontinued.
TN34 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.
Recommended Fabrics: 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 it would look equally good in something more slinky like a Tencel Twill.
For the lining we would recommend using Barrier Lining if you are making the oilskin version. Other lining options; Brushed Cotton, Cotton Poplin. The lining choice has to be substantial enough to accommodate buttonholes
Skill level - advanced.
Fabric requirements approx: 2.80m - 3.2m @ 140cm.
Notions: 6 x buttons, approximately 17-22mm.; 3.2m of drawstring cord.
For the ribbing neckline, we have used rib that stretches by half again, i.e. 10cm piece stretches to 15cm.
