Barbour Jacket Alteration Question

[captainjz16]

I own a Flyweight Beaufort (not made anymore, but details can be found here) as I live in Florida and the heavier Beaufort seemed like overkill for most of our winter days. I find myself traveling more than I used to and I am in need in something heavier as my Barbour doesn't have the option for a zip in liner.

Instead of buying second jacket, i thought it might be possible to have my tailor sow in zippers in each side to allow for a vest. I don't know if this is possible, but for me, work make my Barbour the perfect jacket. Anyone know if something like this would work?

thanks

The barbour vest also buttons onto the coat hook...
