Overcoat meets duster. An oversized coat for striding through town and country with purpose.
Choose to make either lined or unlined. The September works for a variety of seasons, in oilskin or wool it can be a proper winter coat, or in linen it feels like a casual throw on.
Difficulty: Intermediate
Suggested Fabric: Heavyweight linens, 7 – 12oz denim, wool, corduroy, cotton twills or canvas. A heavier weight cloth will result in a more structured coat. For the lining, we’d suggest using Barrier Lining if you are using oilskin. You could also use cotton voile, lightweight linen, cotton poplin, hemp/cotton, lightweight wools or a traditional slip lining.
Notions: Matching thread, 5 x 2cm/3/4″ buttons, Optional (recommended for most fabrics) 1.3M/1.5YD interfacing.
Size: 20 – 28 . Find sizes 6-18 HERE!

Carolyn Denham and Roderick Field began London-based Merchant & Mills in 2010 with the intentions of bringing style and purpose to the overlooked world of sewing. New patterns and products emerge, never rushed to market, but slowly developed to be exemplary, desirable and pragmatic. Their ethos is to respect the roots of sewing, from trade to home dressmaking, as they enable and inspire more people to find the satisfaction of simply making.
