Quilted Rayon is pretty light and easy to slip on/off. You can choose wool batting for warmth.

That would be nice, just can't find it.

Okay, let me look - I think I have some contacts to shops that do bespoke quilting. You can also ask Greg at Field Leathers - he sold me 2 yards of awesome Rayon with wool backing for a reline job. He may have a source - problem is these custom guys may have a 10-yard minimum for a quilting job.

No trouble, thanks again.
I just asked Aero if I can buy their wool backed Quilted Lining, lol.

I can even choose 23oz Japan selvedge denim if I don't care about the extra 2.5!lbs will add to my jacket.....

how about full corduroy?, quite warm, have some plush comfy feel, easy to slide in and out, strong, light weight. color doesn't bleed.

Quilted lining is so cosy

Of course, the corduroy aero uses in my heavyweight half belt is 16 oz, still not warm enough for winter, and it adds at 1.5 lbs to jacket. A size 42 jacket made from 6oz leather weights 9.5 lbs at least with cross zip type you will add 1 lbs of extra leather, plus lining and fur collar the entire jacket will probably weight 12 lbs or so.

I really love the look of that iridescent color-shifting quilted lining that Aero offers. I got a sample of it several years back from Thurston brothers and I remember my ex girlfriend looking at it and thinking that I had completely lost my mind when I told her that I liked it.

I have to say it is my favorite lining both on new and vintage jackets. It's not overly warm until you need it to be. Perfectly comfortable in just a t-shirt in 5C weather today.

It’s the best / coolest looking IMO

Thanks for the recommendation.

Why not leather lining? Lambskin?

I agree that the leather lining would be awesome. Probably not warm, though.

Unfortunately no, they are suppose to make me a mock up jacket, but no I haven't heard anything from them.
