Replacing the lining...any cheap options?

[Serghei87]

Hi All

I would like to replace the interior cotton lining on my new jacket bought.

Is there some cheap options that could do that for me?

I could ask ELC but i am afraid they will ask me for a lot to pay!

Thanks in advance

Cheapest...no lining...cheap...maybe ruining ( cheap stays cheap by all means) ......Professional work = valuating hence saving at the end if you wish to resell...
There are a few “ cheaply poorly restaured ” ..( some even by G&B) ....so ruined...A-2’s on crapbay...a total loss....no takers since months.

I mean it is not so bad..i can live with it and i can repair the little holes by myself... but would like to know just in case i decide later to change the lining

IMHO...No action needed...Still great to wear.

That is a very common place to see wear & tear. I've had my repos get to that point after 6-9 months of daily wear (about two cold seasons, from memory), so even if you did get it relined you may be back at the same point quickly.
