Most fabric stores carry a line of shoulder pads, or they can be made by the tailor shop. Again, not really a difficult task.
Changing the pad is easy, but the shoulders were designed around having the extra padding which requires extra fabric and causes a different hang. I guess take it in to the tailor and ask, but that is a thirty-five dollar jacket...
I really wish that this had come up when this spesific jacket had been suggested here on the forum.
I tried to ask my inner curmudgeon before posting, but he sprayed me with the garden hose…
Yes, I have squirrels in my brain…
