From Merchant & Mills:

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, two-piece sleeves, a neat square collar, 2 hip pockets and one breast pocket. Can be optionally top-stitched in contrasting thread.

This jacket has been cut and designed for a man. The lengthened Foreman that our model with the blond hair is wearing – this is a size 38 at the shoulder graded out at the underarm/side seam to a size 42 and lengthened to a finished length of 110cm.

Update: See hack for a neater fit for women (see photo of model wearing orange canvas jacket). Note that purchase of the Foreman pattern is required for the hack.

Suggested Fabrics: Dry oilskin, cotton canvas and twill, 8-13oz denim, mid-heavyweight linen, corduroy, woollen tweed.

Sizes: Mens' UK 36-46
To fit chest 92 cm / 36¼" - 112 cm / 44⅛"
