I have a couple of suit coats that are getting ton up by the grip on my P365. I have read where people have a piece of canvas or cordura sewn into the lining in that spot to deal with wear from aggressive grip textures. The lady who does my alterations said she could do it, but that I would have to buy the fabric and bring it in with the jackets. What's the best fabric for that application? I assume even within canvass and cordura there are variations, weights, thicknesses?
thanks |

Denim would be an option.

I worked at a suit store in college that catered to diplomatic security folks. We always just used plain basic cotton fabric in mid weight that was similar to cotton dockers material in the same color family as the current liner. Denim would be too heavy and cause the garment to hang to one side.

I bought yard of dark rip stop nylon. My seamstress seemed to think it will work. I dropped it and two suit coats off to see how that goes.

I picked the jackets up today. She did a good job replacing a section of the lining in each with the rip stop nylon. I will report back on how it wears.

I had my tailor sew "coin pockets" on the inside bottom corner of my jackets. Would drop 1-2 coins in them to weight them down so they wouldn't flap up in a breeze/gust. Had them sew in some midweight fabric on the inside of the jacket as well. Really glad I don't have to live that life anymore

Update: Absolutely worked. No further issues. It is a tiny bit stiffer than the rest of the jacket, and doesnt "drape" quite as well, but that is only noticible when I am consciously checking and concentrating on it.

What about sewing a scrap of leather or denim on both sides to counter weight it and to protect from having the magazines tearing up the liner? |
