@goosehd said in Ask Giles and/or Alex Anything:

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.

@Oaktavia would be a shame to remove it, IMO. But your call, or course. It will change the fit of the jacket and maybe in unexpected ways. So bear that in mind.

[Oaktavia]

I don't think I can bring myself to actually do it. It's just too perfect already. It would be like removing the wooden stretcher frame from an artist's painting on a canvas.

[Jett129]

@Oaktavia Great analogy. A little thread drift here. Do you have any favorite artists,or artist’s that you might consider inspirational.

So dope, didn’t even know that was possible. If you removed your lining @Oaktavia would be cool to see if re(pair) can make some kind of custom beanie/winter cap for you with it?
