@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.

[Tago Mago]

@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.

[Jett129]

@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.

[sabergirl]

@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.

[worn2fade]

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?

I'll ask here as I saw this on another thread, what's the reason for moving away from the UHR line? Just moving towards more sanforized/washed items? Or are mills not producing the fabric anymore?

[AdamJ]

@Jord fabric availability as opposed to moving toward sanf/OW items

[Jord]

@AdamJ Makes sense, thanks for answering.

It used to be Egon Schiele and still is to an extent. But nowadays I try not to look at too many artists so I can remain more original.

That’s exactly why I don’t listen to any parenting advice. I figure it’s all been done let’s try something zany.

@Jord just tried the beeseal on my jean patches and I love it!

[Jord]

@daugustway Glad to hear! It's like magic, it's brought some of my old patches back to life with a little hydration... Works with belts etc too like I mentioned.

[Jord]

Random question... But how far in advance do you plan seasons? I've heard from other brands that they're working on FW27 (mostly Brandon Svarc), just wondering what season you guys are currently working on (or if it's top secret) as I'm sure it takes a lot of planning in advance from mills/factories ec...

hope you're all well
