So I’m seriously considering (carefully) ripping the cupro out of my new suede DH. It's suede HH and much of the remains will be concealed, that which will still show will hopefully develop into a low profile fringe feature :)
If over time the seam integrity is compromised no loss, I'll either...
That’s really strange because I’m on average a small 36 and the Buzz N-1 I got in 36 was too small for me! Now mine wasn’t a hook model, so maybe that’s where the sizing manual got lost…
Definitely cupro, at least according to DH.
I don’t like it for a few reasons - it goes on cold, quickly gets sweaty and I just generally prefer to stay away from synthetic fibres, or regenerated as some call cloth from this particular family.
Really nice work.
The one regret I have about my Double Helix is the cupro lining, why would they do that I wonder? I may contact a local place to investigate removal of the liner, without replacing it. It’s suede HH, so in my view perfect as an unlined jacket as the smooth bit is on the inside.
I appreciate that but I'm a bit north of those Midwest states and today, for instance, with the temps at -25C and the wind chill into the -40s I'd still go with down filled.
Double Helix “The Boxer” suede horsehide in 38.
Could be a touch shorter and would have preferred it without the cupro lining , but my goodness it’s a beauty, and such an intoxicating scent, love it!
Here’s some misfit pics, sorry about the background (well, about other stuff too) but it’s tough...
Ah thanks, paid in early September so I assume that he’ll get a start on it soon after xmas.
I’m going for something quite close to that actually; an Edgewater but with a point collar similar to yours, in horsehide and possibly without a liner for a little saving in the sweat department.
