I once had a local tailor reline an old ELC house A-2 with OD satin. Total cost was $45. Not authentic, but I never had a problem with the lining again.
If cost is no object, I believe any of the major repro makers can reline your jacket with the correct type fabric. Otherwise shop around and see what tailors in your area can do for you.

Any competant repair shop can reline your jacket- I did the same thing to my old W&G A-2 last year using cotton. Didn't take me that long but you do have to almost completely disassemble the jacket to do it right.
The lining on the W&G jackets look good, but they must be 100% synthetic because they absolutely do not breathe. I would make sure you use either Bemberg rayon, silk, or cotton.

A recent discussion with Will and Amanda at Aero suggested that for a goatskin Perry A2 the costs of a complete reline in a suitable cotton (plus some additional minor darning) would be of the order of £100 plus return postage. The price was boosted somewhat by the more complex neck arrangement with the collar stand - requiring additional labour time.
