: I remember you sayin that the lining of the original was cotton, is that the lining that will be standard on these jackets?
: See ya! DeWayne
We had a long discusson about linings. They have offered them in historical reprodustions that called for cotton, but recommended against it - mostly because of its tndancy to really hold body odor. I imagine they could and would make one with cotton - the cost would be something you'd need to confirm with them. The lining they are offering as standard will outperform any of the linings I've previously seen in a leather jacket. It is 100% symthetic, feels like a cotton blend, it breathes, and it has a nice texture to it. I'd compare it to the nylon ripstop shirts I have from LL Bean and Ex-Officio.
Hope this helps - Cheers!
