PDF SEWING PATTERN | Arbor Jacket | Merchant & Mills

Skill Level: Intermediate
Sizes: UK 34–54
Language: English only

The Arbor Jacket PDF sewing pattern by Merchant & Mills is a relaxed workwear-inspired jacket that can also be worn as an overshirt depending on your fabric choice. Designed with a modern boxy silhouette, Arbor is an incredibly versatile layering piece that works throughout the year.

Sew it in lightweight linen for a casual overshirt, sturdy canvas for a classic chore jacket, soft wool for cooler weather or denim and corduroy for timeless everyday style. Its simple construction and clean lines make it a garment you'll reach for season after season.

The Arbor has a deliberately boxy fit with generous ease. We recommend checking the finished garment measurements before selecting your size to achieve your preferred fit.

All seam allowances are 1.5 cm (⅝") unless otherwise stated and are included in the pattern.
