Fabric suggestions:

MAIN FABRIC: Any woven fabric with a bit of weight to it is great. Linen, suiting, twill, denim, canvas. Avoid fabrics that can’t take a press since there is a fair amount of fusible interfacing involved in this project.

LINING FABRIC: Typically you want to line your jacket with something that will easily slide on and off over other fabrics. Anything a little bit slippery would work. Rayon, silk, a cotton with a tight weave.

Fabric requirements: 

You may need to purchase extra fabric if your fabric has a heavy nap, is directional, striped, or has an obvious repeat.
