I currently have this jacket from J.crew:
I like it...the sherpa lining makes it ideal for colder weather, but its light enough for milder weather. The only problem I have with it is the sherpa lined collar. Soon after I purchased this jacket, another one of similar styling came out:
As you can see, this one doesn't have the sherpa collar, but it also doesn't have the sherpa lining throughout the jacket.
The collar on the first jacket is not completely sherpa, it's just sherpa lined... so the fabric of the jacket actually composes the collar (if you could view the collar flipped up from the back, you could see this), it's just that the sherpa is so thick that it weighs the collar down, thus giving that illusion.
Anyway, I was wondering if I could take this to an Alterationist or someone, and get the sherpa-lining from my jacket removed, and improve the integrity of the collar so it stands up like that in the 2nd jacket.
If this is possible, how much would this run me?
Thanks.
