    Fishermen's sweaters site

    I have a lot of different traditional scandinavian sweaters, mostly of a pattern called Islender. These were worn by norwegian, faroese and icelandic fishermen. I also wear the "newer" but inbetween also very traditional Iclandic Lopapeysa hand knit sweaters. The norwegian sheep wool is a bit...

    Pants to go with N-1 Deck Jackets

    Yes, these are Bronson modified Deck Pants. I had an eye on them for quite a while now. Like the color and the appearance with the blue Deck Jacket. If my belly keeps the way it is now, they would slide down to my hip bones though where I had to fasten them with a belt. I imagine looking like a...

    Pants to go with N-1 Deck Jackets

    Cheers guys! I also own an IH 21oz. Chinos also used to be my choice for years, but the same here as with jeans, I am a bit tired wearing these.. These could be good, if only they were a dark blue: https://www.blueowl.us/products/fatigue-pants-in-army-01-5032?variant=6842802864186 I own a...

    Pants to go with N-1 Deck Jackets

    Searching for "1947 Model 838A OD7 Fatigue Utility Pants Men HBT OG-107 Baker Trousers" on the web you find a pant style which I could like. I wonder if they are close to the original Swiss Army work pants in grey or tenue blue, which seem to be modeled after US Utility pants. These swiss ones...

    Pants to go with N-1 Deck Jackets

    Good suggestion! Good that these are availlable over here. This way I can try to find a shop nearby and try some on.

    Pants to go with N-1 Deck Jackets

    As kind of a compromise I wore my Fjällräven Barents Pro in color storm/night sky. I like the silhouette I have with this combination very much. The pants are not too loose on me but loose enough. But again: hiking pants... It is a stylistic inconsistency I like though. Better than Jogging pants...

    Pants to go with N-1 Deck Jackets

    They look great! Only problem I see is that the only part of me which is not lean would be exactly where the waistband of this trouser would be. Belly 37 inch Hips 38 inch. Don't want to use suspenders but guess I'd have to..

    Pants to go with N-1 Deck Jackets

    Now my hope is on you, fellow Loungers. It is no secret, that I am a big lover of the look and fit of N-1 Deck Jackets. And some of you know, that a I am tall and rather slim though not lean (the pandemic helped with the last). I used to love wearing jeans. Japanese, US, trimmer fit or...

    Will hopefully receive a Bronson N-1 in navy blue today

    It depends ALOT on a) your stature, b) your prefered look, c) money, you are willing to spend. For a): if you call yourself as of being of slim figure - Bronson, especially if b): you like a more fitted looking jacket - Bronson (like 10fielectronic said). For c) If you are after more bang for...

    Cleaning Cigarette Smoke From A-2 Jacket?

    Yes, let us know! Good luck! You could add some Baking Soda to the rinse cycle. Go ahead, but be aware, lambskin is more delicate than cowhide. Skip the spin cycle!

    Cleaning Cigarette Smoke From A-2 Jacket?

    ....and if it is just the liner which has the odor, it could even work without soaking the entire jacket. Maybe the first thing to try could be hand washing the liner by pulling the jacket inside out and using a sponge to apply the mixture until the liner is saturated and repeat and repeat until...

    Cleaning Cigarette Smoke From A-2 Jacket?

    I just read on their website, that they recommend using even as little as one tablespoon on five liter water for removing odors from a piece of garment. But maybe this is too little for a leather jacket. I had used a lot of it on a leather jacket myself as a last ressort before I would have had...

    Cleaning Cigarette Smoke From A-2 Jacket?

    Unfortunately there is nothing about the percentage said on the package. Here in Germany I use the stuff which you can buy in any supermarket. I though it is the pure stuff. Called Holste Kaiser Natron. If you do a search on the bay, there is one offer that sells from Las Vegas, Nevada. But this...

    Cleaning Cigarette Smoke From A-2 Jacket?

    You can also try gently soaking it in a luke warm water / sodium hydrogen carbonate solution (1/1) for two or three hours. After that you should soak it gently with a mixture of white vinegar and water (1/1) to bring back the acidic ph value. A good quality leather conditioner (foam) will help...
