Surprised to find the VBC frescos are lined in the front. Wouldn't this make them wear much warmer?

Has anyone had the lining removed?

Fresco can be a bit itchy. Good quality lining adds very little warmth. All my fresco trousers are made with lining to the top of the knee and I would not change them.

Same. I haven’t messed with the lining in any of my frescos. All good here.
Alright, will keep the lining, thanks for the tips guys.

I live in a tropical country, and I recently removed the lining for my VBC Fresco and Fox Air trousers. I really does make a huge difference compared to my lined Frescos. And the mild scratchy feeling does not really bother me as compared to the sweaty thigh due to the lining. I plan to remove the lining on my other frescos.

Any noticeable difference with regards to drape?

Which season do your FOX AIR trousers come from? I just bought mine this year and none of them have linings…

Not that I'm aware of.

This season. I'm pretty sure it had lining. The photo shows the remnant of the lining removed by my tailor. IMG_20210619_200119.jpg

Re: lining- I haven’t removed any linings or noticed any heat issues from having it there. I would imagine the removing the lining might cause the thighs of the pants to wear out prematurely- just thinking about the friction of leg hair against the interior of the fabric

My fox air from this year are lined to the knee. I definitely think they would be too rough/scratchy for me to enjoy them without the lining. It’s a fairly dry/rough fabric
