The lining is dictated by the material of the shell. According to Parker, cotton is not a great insulator, so the lining chosen for a cotton coat is particularly important. "In our cotton jackets, we often use either a nylon or brushed tricot lining backed with polyfill that is diamond quilted to prevent the filler from shifting," she said. "This helps to ensure all-over insulation for the life of the jacket." For performance wear that is not cotton, Parker suggested bonding linings to shells to make the jackets wind-resistant. "Bonded fabrics are lightweight and highly functional, protecting the wearer from the elements," she explained.
