Merlin is a classic lapel coat designed to keep you warm in style. With enough ease to layer comfortably over a cosy jumper, this elegant design fastens with a single button at hip level, with the option to add a second for extra snugness. Merlin features tailored two-piece sleeves, sleek welt pockets, and a full lining for a polished finish. A refined yet practical choice for braving the chill in comfort and sophistication. Important to Know: I AM Patterns are designed to be traced off. The different pieces overlap with each other so you will need to trace the pattern on paper. This means that you will be able to make multiple sizes of the garment and adjust the pattern as you trace it if necessary. For this you could use tracing paper, baking parchment, thin wrapping paper; or we can supply you with some spot and cross pattern paper. Suggested Fabrics: Wool coating: boiled wool, wool gabardine, melton, boucle… Choose a medium to heavyweight fabric with some body to keep the structure of the coat.
