@AdamC FWIW DHL and UPS have similar coverage where I live, so next day delivery is the norm. DHL‘s biggest advantage - they deliver on a Saturday. Recent delivery was the first using dhl, absolutely no issues

Is it a reasonable or realistic idea to try to remove a blanket and quilt liner from an IH jacket (specifically the 534 I have)?

[tody]

@Oaktavia i'd call that blasphemy!

[goosehd]

Why would you want to do it?

So I can layer with it and wear it for more months out of the year. I'm not dead set on doing so, just had the thought a few times.

[goosehd]

Thanks, just curious.

[Giles]

I would take it into a decent seamstress/tailor and ask them. Anything is doable, just depends on skillset and cost.

[Oaktavia]

@Giles thanks for the tip, I hadn't thought of that but it makes perfect sense.

@Oaktavia @endo added a lining to his Serge Windbreaker. I bet it would just as possible to remove one.

[Oaktavia]

@jordanscollected Oh really? Nice, I must have missed that. The lining in the 534 is excellent and comfortable, I just think I would also like it if it were unlined. I'll mull it over a bit more. It is really nice to put it on after a shower in the winter.

@Oaktavia see here. Thanks @jordanscollected for reminding me of this

[Oaktavia]

@Tago-Mago thank you for sharing that link. Wow, that is an amazing job, work of an artist.

@Oaktavia Even if you can’t remove the lining in one piece,if you sew it back together,then you can have the best of both worlds.
