Fabric suggestions:
For the jacket body: medium to heavyweight suitings or lightweight coatings with surface texture such as wool melton, wool flannel, crepe and tweed. Velvet, medium-heavy weight cotton, seersucker and linen may also be used.
 
Please note: tightly woven, smooth surfaced suitings like wool gabardine are not recommended since they can be difficult to fuse using an iron. 
 
For the lining: rayon bemberg, charmeuse, crepe de chine, smooth and silky cottons such as voile. 
 
For the pockets: sturdy cotton like shirting, quilting cotton or muslin (1/4 yd / .25m)
