The Denham Sewing PatternInspired by a vintage Austrian hiking jacket. This neat mid season piece is perfect for all weathers. A double breasted jacket that can be lined or unlined. It featurestwo flap pockets and a button tab to close the collar. Denham is more closely fitting than a lot of our other patterns, do carefully check the finished measurements table, and if in doubt size up. All seam allowances are 1. 5cm unless stated otherwise and are included in the pattern.
