@Alex @Giles

The patches thats come on 21oz and 25oz jeans
Are they treated with oil or are raw natural.

Because when I soaking the jeans. Do I need to treat it first
Thanks

[Alex]

@Kasi i dont think they are treated, no.

[Kasi]

@Alex
Thanks I was thinking that wasn’t sure

[daugustway]

@Kasi I was wondering the same thing. I might start conditioning my leather patches on my jeans after washing. Something like Bick 4?

[Kasi]

@daugustway

Before hand for me.

@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.
