I'm going to make a vest for DH and it's the type that has fashion fabric on the front only and some sort of lining fabric for the interior and the back.
I've not made anything lined since..dunno when, so if anyone has some advice on what I should look for, fire away. I just don't know what fabrics qualify and what should be avoided.
Thanks

Marilly,

I would recommend this bemberg lining fromAtlanta Thread & Supply if you are wanting to get a truly professional masculine look. These are the type of linings normally used in men's clothing.

You might be able to find something locally where you live, but I would say to avoid linings that look too "femine". I would recommend a rayon if possible.
