Fabric Recommendations
The Ilford Jacket can be made in a huge range of fabrics depending on the style of jacket you'd like. Heavy fabrics like denim, twill, and canvas will make a structured jacket. Softer fabrics like linen, midweight corduroy, and light wool will make a more shacket-style garment. And flannel, cotton/linen blends, and chambray will make a lighter, overshirt kind of Ilford.
Notions
5-12 buttons (any size is fine, but we recommend 1-1.5” buttons)
1 yard fusible interfacing (weight depends on the fabric you are using but light to mid weight is recommended)
Matching thread
