Can anyone give me a good reason...

that I *shouldn't* line the jacket I'm making with minkee?

I mean, yes, it's bulky, expensive, would totally throw off the cut of the coat, wouldn't match the colors, and would be the adult equivalent of going out and buying a new stuffed animal just to carry around with me...

but I need a GOOD reason.

Anyone?

    Just skip a shirt underneath and you're fine!

    Doesn't minkee eventually wear through/flatten out with washes faster than more durable materials used in jacket making?

    ahhh - now that sounds fab (not bug not wearing a shirt, although I'm certain her DH would approve - just the minky!)

    Just think of all the poor, synthetic baby Minkees you'll be leaving out in the cold, motherless, to fend for themselves.

    Dangit, the whole "oh yeah, I'll be wearing a shirt" thing just got me.

     

    It's the coat from this:

    and I'm using a lightweight gray and teal plaid wool for it. Matching is turning out to be a pain, and I'd forgotten how much I loathe sleeves, but I'm super excited for the result.

    What color is the coat?  They have black minkee.  I'm all about being warm especially where you are since there are some cold nights/days there.  I have no good reason not to line it.

    Very pretty pattern!  Even black minkee then might now match.

    i'm all about compromises....i'd line the pockets with minkee :-)  or, if it's the tie jacket you're making, make the tie out of minkee!
