We do that on any Carhartt when we can't convince the customer to go with Sanmar jackets. Then your hooping is much easier, jacket is easier to line up, and you haven't destroyed any of the jacket's insulation value by matting down the liner. Our seamstress only charges $5 to resew a bottom hem, I use a seam ripper to pull out the threading. But most of the time we convince them to go with Sanmar jackets with the 'port pockets', hidden zippers to get you inside the jacket. =========================================================== The AmayaUsers Mailing List Website: http://www.amayausers.com Discussion Board: http://www.amayausers.com/boards Subscribe/Unsubscribe: http://www.amayausers.com/list ===========================================================
