Switched from cheap polyester lining to Bemberg cupro for a jacket and the difference in breathability and drape is INSANE.
After my first sample made me sweat like crazy, I spent the extra $8 per yard on the Bemberg for the final piece and it feels like a completely different, high-end garment.

That "completely different, high-end garment" feeling is the whole point. You can't fake that with cheap materials. It's why some stuff just feels good and lasts. That extra $8 is buying the actual experience of wearing it, not just the look. More people should understand that.

My old raincoat had that cheap plastic lining and I'd get clammy just walking to the bus. Upgraded to a thrifted Barbour with a proper lining and it was a total game changer.
