Paynter Jacket Co. make limited edition jackets four times a year that are made to order, so there’s no waste from over production. Their jackets are classic pieces that will stand the test of time and get better with age. The Field Jacket is Paynter’s first make-your-own jacket pattern in collaboration with Merchant & Mills.
Born from a collaboration between Merchant & Mills and Paynter Jacket Co., this pattern is the ultimate chore coat. Designed with a functional, boxy fit, it features three outer patch pockets and an internal chest pocket for a true utilitarian feel. This unisex pattern is a masterclass in classic garment construction, making it an essential project for those who appreciate durable, high-quality workwear.

Fabric Suggestions: We recommend light to medium weight wovens up to 8oz, cotton twills, denim, wool and dry oilskin. There are 9 layers to sew through during the pocket construction, so check the fabric you choose can be accommodated by your sewing machine.
Need sewing help? We have made a You Tube video that takes you through the two trickier steps of the Paynter pattern, the placket and the hip pockets. You can view that video here.
For sizing we would recommend checking the finished measurements against a jacket that you like the fit of.
All seam allowances are 1.5cm unless stated otherwise and are included in the pattern.
