    The Deck Jacket thread.

    Since original N1s are pretty hard to find in decent condition and matching my size i started getting more and more interested in any postwar solutions or predecessors of the famous N1.

    I think you nailed it with your comment. I own a couple N1 copies as well as an original one (too small to wear, condition ain't good) and have at least something to compare. I like the PB one for it's more roomy cut. Simply more conveniant. Also craftmanship as far as my impression goes is...
