Suggested Fabric
The Ilford Jacket is designed for wovens and can be made from a wide variety of fabrics. For a boxier look, go for a lightweight canvas, linen, denim, or corduroy. It also would look lovely in a drapey woven like Brussels Washer. When sewn up in a flannel, it is a perfect fall layering piece.
