Anyone with a shearling lining? Does it "poof" out the jacket much?
Not got that in one of my own Aeros, but I've seen a few and never seen it to do that. I'd be wary of it as an option in especially short and neat-fitting jackets, though, like a thirties halfbelt; IMO, those really aren't designed for layering, and if worn big enough to allow a heavy sweater, they'll look too big. As distinct from, say, a boxier style like a Highwayman. The danger, then, is that while you can get a thirties halfbelt with a shearling lining, for that sake of argument, that will look great over a shirt.... for me personally, by the time I'd want a shearling jacket, the temperature is already likely to be at the level where I'm going to want a sweater below it as well, so I wouldn't want one I couldn't do that with. This sort of thing will vary from person to person - we're all different, and nobody else can tell you exactly what you'll find idea at certain temperatures - I just raise the idea as something to think about as you don't want to end up with a jacket that's too warm for most of the year, fine for a couple of weeks, and then too cold for the worst of the Winter.
