Wanting to prepare (and repair) my winter clothing
With October being unseasonably cold, I have already brought out some of my winter apparel. I don't mind the crisp, sunny days and will start rides with temps in the 30's if I know that it will be warming.
I have some thermal knickers that I damaged the fabric on by spraying them with too strong of stain remover. I was thinking of trying to get a seamstress to sew some windstopper fabric panels on the thigh area of these knickers in order to continue to get more use out them. Has anybody done something like this, to make a garment better adapted to the cold? Just wondering.
On a similar note I have a long sleeve jersey that is slightly too large that I fould I can wear as a jacket over the top of another thermal long sleeve jersey and a goose down vest I have. But the sleeves and the front of the jersey would be much better it I could have some windstopper panels sewn in. Once again - has anyone done something like this? Thanks for any conversation on this winter type apparel topic.
