RECOMMENDED FABRICS:
Main Fabric: Most light/medium-weight woven fabrics are suitable. Poplin is a surprisingly good choice. Heavier woven cotton fabrics, such as drill, also work well. Lightweight baby cord would be suitable, but heavier corduroy would be too bulky. For greater water resistance, fabrics such as light oil skin or ripstop are ideal.
Lining: Thin polyester lining fabric or similar is required. If you prefer natural fabrics then silk would be a great alternative or cotton poplin. Thin fleece could be used as a warmer option for lining the hood but isn’t recommended for the whole coat.
Ribbing: Chunky ribbing with excellent stretch and return is required
Wadding/Batting: Go thicker (up to 2.5cm) for warmer coats, or thinner (down to 5mm) for lighter coats. Polyester wadding is generally more durable.
