Lost Worlds Re-Line Question

[jpk_NJ]

Doing a reline / new zip job on this Lost Worlds I picked up from our classifieds (GMCD) and wanted some input from the lounge. Im only re-lining the body as the sleeves are perfect heavy duty satin. Fabric will be a moss green Harris Tweed I sourced. Jacket is on its way to Johnson Leathers. Two questions I need to direct them on:

1. Inside drop pocket. Can re-use the same setup but will the Tweed fabric be strong enough to support the pocket weight without sagging over time

2. Lost Worlds lining is an odd "4 piece" lining pattern. Made of 4 sections seemed together. Keep the same style or go with normal one piece lining?

Well, what I would do, is ask the same questions from Alan at JL after he has the jacket and new lining material in his hands. I bet his answer will be much better than what any of us can tell you here.

How much does the relining cost at JL?

He’s very reasonable...depending on the job and material.

I'd have them do it in the same pattern, there's a reason Stuart does things the way he does them.

True. Probably the safest way to avoid error. Just copy the existing pattern and the lining will have the exact same fit. Takes the guess work / pattern work out of it. Have the tweed option in three Aero's and I really find the wool versatile across a wide temp range.
