This looks sharp. I wonder about all the stitching though as you can't fit much down in between some of those stitches. Looks cool though. I'm sure these are sewn through. Can someone please enlighten me as to why they and others are using a 20d fabric on the lining of jackets vs having this heavier, sturdier fabric on the outside? 20d also doesn't breath as well so having it as an inner fabric is puzzling to me.

AntneeWear and tear on the inner fabric is actually greater than the outer shell fabric...every time you put it on or take it off, stretch your arms, etc, you're abrading those fine denier yarns. It's pretty common for jackets to use a slightly heavier fabric choice for liners. That said, we're still talking 20d. Without knowing specifics about the fabric you can't say that "20d" is any more or less breathable than another 20d or 10d fabric choice, but if less breathable that does help some to retain warmth a little longer and it's still plenty able to pass moisture unless it's coated or just an extra dense weave pattern/thread count. Pullover is smart for a touch of extra warmth but that "fashion baffling" and what appear to be very loose wrist cuffs both help to take away from those gains, imho. Yes the seams are sewn through...don't see box baffling until you get into some very thick down parkas.
