The Foreman (UK 36-46) — Merchant and Mills

Available from Wool Friends when we last checked. Sold from the shop’s own store; the price there is the one that counts.

Inspired by traditional workwear of the early fifties, the practical and hardwearing Foreman is an unlined utilitarian jacket made to take charge. Features a boxy cut, 2 piece sleeves, a neat square collar, 2 hip pockets and one breast pocket. Can be optionally top-stitched in contrasting thread. All seam allowances are 1.5cm unless otherwise stated. Skill level: intermediate. Fabric suggestions: dry oilskin, cotton canvas and twill, 8-13oz denim, mid-heavyweight linen, corduroy, woolen tweed. M
