Leather Jacket Linining
 

Need a new lining for my leather Jacket .
Anyone have any recommendations ?

WTF? If this isn't OT, I don't know what is.

Relax, Ed. Guy probably put the question in the wrong forum. Or maybe it's a jacket with little 911s all over it.

FWIW my leather jackets have some sort of polyester-type mesh lining (looks like a practice football jersey/pinney) or a satiny polyester snap-out liner for colder weather use.

Or not...it seems that people press the issue from time to time.

kevlar from the look of it.

help you deflect comments from the forum police!

I thought it's normal fabric, but how can you replace it?
Another thought, do you mean your leather jacket jacket, or do you know some part in the 911 called a jacket?

Hounds tooth?

Fiberglass house insulation would work well.

This is what we use.

depends if it's a $200 or a $800 jacket


if the $200 ask around for a good tailor that builds pants

if the $800 ask around for a good tailor that builds full suits without gluing in the jacket inner canvas and uses bone buttons instead of plastic

just my take

When I relined the jacket I use to keep my SC toasty on those cool PA nights, I went with a soft satin liner (much easier on the paint than burlap... but I suppose shearling would be good too). You also want to make sure that the zipper is nylon, as metal ones will really mess with your paint job in a hurry. (Ask me how I know). :)

Mine was/is satin. Had the tattered original liner replaced by seamstress.

Don't use pink and white stripes.

hah!

My cleaners had a guy they sent me to, little old Italian tailor, dead now, but he used to make suits for Willie Brown, snappy dresser, scumbag politico

Had a full length leather coat refurbished recently, sent it to an outfit in Kansas City if I remember right, was not cheap, but I would have a tough time finding a coat like that if I wanted a new one. Both times they used some sort of rayon material I think, acetate maybe, I don't know. It is not all diamond stitched like the one Shaun showed us

call a leather clothing store and find out who they send repairs too locally. or pick up the yellow pages and let your fingers do the walking for you

there is a Seinfeld episode on this topic...

A good tailor can do it. I had the satin lining replaced in a couple of my leather jackets. Sure makes them look nice again.
