@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.

[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.
