    Glad you have received it! Sometimes it pays off to step on their feet as we say here.

    "Miguel" must have noticed that there was another persons name and adress on the parcel. If I was Miquel, I would have sent it to this adress with a note that I had received it wrongly.

    The Deck Jacket thread.

    Sad to hear. It's a shame. How parcels can get lost in our times is something that is beyond my brains capacity. One should think that they could track them wherever they are, at any stage of the process.

    The Deck Jacket thread.

    The pockets seem positioned very low on the pictures, more like the later A-2 versions. Don't know, but "Possibly the best reissue WWII USN type N1 deck jacket" is a little...uhm... but I am also curious how it looks in fit pics of a fellow lounger.

    M-65 Field Jacket

    M65s made by So Sew are considered to have belonged to the best M65s back then along with some others like Golden Manufacturing, Alpha (the old Alpha, not today's). I happen to own a rarer one with a Talon main Zip (aluminum). It has the gusseted sleeve cuffs seen on the older ones. This one...

    M-65 Field Jacket

    Usually contractors put their company name on the label. This '65 listed was made by So Sew Styles in Alabama. Cats

    Cats and leather jackets

    Forgot one thing: Make your home a safe place for your little cutie. Remove heavy items that stand on higher places and which could fall down and hurt your cat when it tries to climb up. Never leave a window tilted, the cat may try to jump up and escape through it and can be jammed in the V and...

    Cats and leather jackets

    I have been a life long can opener for several cats I had the honor to serve. In the beginning of my career Her or His Majesty almost always had a great joy in humilating me whenever I dared to love my clothes or funitures more then Her or His Royal Highness. Furnitures, blankets and wildly...

    What do you consider high rise?

    Could be that your natural waist is wider in circumference than your hip. Or the trouser is too wide at the waistband. In this case you could have them tailored down a bit on both sides.

    What do you consider high rise?

    What has been said. Plus: There is a huge difference between Wrangler 13WMZ for the European market vs those for the US. The European Cowboy Cut Wranglers have a much lower waist and are made from inferior fabric imo. For my body proportions a high rise sits above my hip fat :) and just at my...

    Washing N-1 Deck Jackets

    One of my blue Bronsons shed tons of hair after one wash, could comb out a bucket full. Now this shedding has also stopped. "Good" to hear that other brands have the same.

    PSA: Bad Actors in Classifieds

    Don't put your words into my mouth. I don't think "Classified Gestapo" fits at all. At least it shows a certain grade of creativity albeit lacking the corresponding grade of humor to be a point. (it's my german lack of humor when someone mentions Gestapo)

    PSA: Bad Actors in Classifieds

    Classified Gestapo? "I was bitten by a rabbit. Or rather, I was nibbled by a rabbit, but, because I was such a weedy, namby-pamby little pansy, I reacted as though I’d lost a limb. It was the sheer unfairness of it all that so upset me. One minute, I was saying, ‘Hello, Mr Bunny!’ and smiling...

    Washing N-1 Deck Jackets

    I washed a Pike Brothers N-1 in HOT water and put it in the dryer on medium hot to achieve just that. Not only did it NOT shrink at all, it came out unchanged in general. I had previously washed it 40°C (104 F) to prepare it for my overdying experiment. The dying took place at the same temp...

    How Do I Tie N1 Drawstring Cords?

    The Scaffold Knot in Mumpy's post is movable. That's why I use it on my N-1's.

    What a fantastic fit on you! I wear mine almost exclusively since I have it. Such a great jacket. Thanks for showing us!

    It's been a while now, have you finally got it? Do you like it? How is the fit on you?

    Does anyone have a Real McCoy AND a Buzz Rickson N-1?

    I edited my post about the details of the fabric. I attached a photo of an original early 1944 first pattern khaki N-1. The differences are minor. I believe the original weave is denser or tighter in lack of a better word.
