FABRIC RECOMMENDATIONS FOR DIGITAL PATTERN 6010
Use warm, structured coating fabrics to preserve the tailored silhouette:
• Wool or wool-blend coating (twill, melton, or brushed)
• Semi-wool coatings with or without nap
• Velvet or corduroy for the upper collar (optional contrast)
• Tonal lining for the full interior
Avoid soft, drapey fabrics that compromise structure.

• Velvet (optional collar): 20 cm
• Nonwoven undercollar fabric: 20 cm x 90 cm
• Matching lining fabric – full body and sleeves
• Fusible interfacing – fronts, facings, hem allowances, sleeve hems, and half of chest pocket flap
• Padding strip (synthetic wadding): 8 cm x 80 cm
• Buttons: 4 large (25 mm) for front closure, 8 small (12 mm) for sleeve vents
