The Ilford Jacket can be made in a huge range of fabrics depending on the style of jacket you'd like. Heavy fabrics like denim, twill, and canvas will make a structured jacket. Softer fabrics like linen, mid-weight corduroy, and light wool will make a more Shacket style garment. And flannel, cotton/linen blends, and chambray will make a lighter, over-shirt type of Ilford.
