Which lining did you choose for the remake?

Same thing, he said the problem was not the lining, but probably the way it was stitched, maybe sewn to close to the edge or something like that...

Even though this is an absolute pain in the ****, they really are trying to get this right! He said the last thing he wanted was for me to say "I tried to buy an AL jacket, but they couldn't get it right so i got my money back"
and that they were going to get it done. All he wants is for me to be happy, and it shows.

He did offer me a refund, but in the end what i really want is a nice jacket!

Glad to hear that the remake is happening. I would have wanted a remake too. Now hopefully you will receive what you originally wanted. Looking forward to hearing about it.

Some vendors tremble when things like this happen. Others rise to the challenge and use it as an opportunity to shine. A good outcome here is better than any banner ad.

One thing worth mentioning, they have decide to stop offering Talon zippers. Apparently they had a huge numbers of zipper failures from their last batch, and Talon are refusing to acknowledge there is a problem.
So it seems talon are out, this one will have a Riri zipper.

Thanks for the tip about the Talon zippers.

That's a great result. Very interesting re the Talon zippers. I've never had one fail, but haven't been overly thrilled with them either. I had a hookless which was very fiddly, and the miniature talon they put on my KOR is crazy for a heavy biker jacket...I wonder if we will hear any more about it?

Well, you've mentioned the word Riri, I'm just waiting for Louis to turn up on this thread now. I trust they're all solid brass symmetrical zippers, of course....
