    Looking for info on jacket materials/components

    I was being facetious when I hinted at wearing it on my longer rides. For those, it's light-weight materials every time. But when I make the 1/2 mile jaunt into town (this is a small place) to check my po box, then sure, I'll wear it.

    Looking for info on jacket materials/components

    I'm actually having him construct a custom jacket I dreamed up, then brought to life via Gimp. I had originally conceived a completely unique piece, utilizing parts from three different jackets, but it simply didn't look the way I had envisioned it. In the end, I just made a few modifications to...

    Hmm, has anyone done this? How much does the fit of the jacket change when removing the liner? I take it another lining material would exist beneath the removable one.

    What does Alan's thinsulate lining look like? How does it feel?

    Looking for info on jacket materials/components

    All right then, with your (and everyone else's) help, I've at least partly made up my mind. I'll get Thinsulate in the jacket, covered with something else, said material to be determined by its' durability and aesthetics. If I ever journey to Antartica, I'll just pony up for a heavy parka:D As...

    Looking for info on jacket materials/components

    I would have reconnected it eventually, but I sold the 120 a couple months ago, and it will be a while before I get another one. Your comment surprises me a bit. It was cold, don't get me wrong, but I certainly didn't feel the need for electrified garments:confused: Anyway, this jacket will be...

    What you believe I was clearing an 8000' ridge-line, so that I could ride the snowboard I had seat-belted in next to me?

    Looking for info on jacket materials/components

    A Cessna 120, whose previous owner had deemed it necessary to disconnect the cabin heat, for some arcane reason.[huh] Unfortunately, So Cal is a big place, and it'd take a couple hundred dollars and two days to get to JL and back. Alan doesn't think it's necessary, and has offered to send me an...

    Looking for info on jacket materials/components

    I live in Southern California, but I don't even wear a sweater unless it's in the forties. A t-shirt and a single, cheap, buttoned up, made in china garage-sale cotton jacket has been adequate for me in 14 degree weather. Honestly, it's my hands that freeze. Additionally, I'll be leaving...

    Looking for info on jacket materials/components

    Thanks for that. Anybody want to comment on the characteristics of these different materials? I am very inexperienced in all this, though I have always heard that wool is warm, and (when wet) cotton is rotten. But then again, wool is supposedly itchy, and I see many different varieties. Then...

    Looking for info on jacket materials/components

    I have been digging around here and on google, but haven't been found any sources of in-depth information on this. I am looking to order a custom leather jacket, and would like to read about different lining materials, zippers, etc. The maker (Johnson Leathers) told me that some of his...
