Here’s the current state of my orange coat: 
The next step is the lining. I haven’t decided yet.
Option 1: A mystery treasure from the stash. (I’m thinking it’s polyester.)
Very pretty. Nice and smooth so it would make it easy to put on and take off. Not sure how well it would breathe.
Option 2: 100% cotton bought just for this project (until I found the piece in my stash).
Natural fiber, so it should be a little cooler. Not as smooth as option 1, so I’m not sure how it would wear.
What do you think?
Option 2, Option 2!!! Beautiful!

I agree, number two is beautiful! I’ve used many polyesters to line my jackets over the years and they work fine – and it’s nice for slipping on over a long sleeve sweater. However, where I live there are more cold months than warm months so I don’t worry as much about always using the natural fibers.

I like them both, but I love #1. That is going to be a beautiful coat either way. Great color.
