    USN Deck Jackets period / repop

    It's worth trawling EBay. Mine set me back £150 and is a keeper.

    USN Deck Jackets period / repop

    It feels like a predominantly wool blend (there are certainly some synthetic fibres in there too). It's much more comfortable than the alpaca lining (not at all scratchy) with quilted lining to sleeves and storm cuffs. Yes, every bit as heavy weight as an issued N-1 (I had a larger 48 a few...

    USN Deck Jackets period / repop

    Here are some images of a post war ('50s with a Scovill zip?) Excalibur deck jacket. This civilian copy of an N-1 was produced by Spiewak. Picked it up in a good price and excellent condition from EBay, having sold on a Buzz Rickson N-1 that was a little small for me. The quality of manufacture...

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    All of those items are Old Town. I have quite a few items now: several complete suits, many individual jackets, waistcoats, hats, trousers, and ties. I have a couple of Fitzrovia jackets - it's a slimmer fit so I tend to go up a size for this one.

    Visit to "Old Town" and vintage stores in London

    Yes it it, Old Town (designer Will Brown) draws inspiration from traditional British tailoring from the late 19th/early 20th century patterns. The Borough is a slightly more contemporary cut with lower/wider armholes.

    Visit to "Old Town" and vintage stores in London

    My Lounge is brown corduroy - I really like the drape, the flap on the chest pocket, and the cutaway profile to the front.

    Visit to "Old Town" and vintage stores in London

    I have practically replaced my formal, work and casual wardrobes with Old Town/Tin House. I love the quality of the materials and craftsmanship. Sadly, old styles are not revived (once they've had their time, they disappear from the website). Now that I know which styles suit and my size (I tend...

    Capeskin vs horse/steer

    I've had a lot of capeskin jackets (many A-1 jackets and some vintage McGregor Sportswear). It's a very soft a pliable hide (and surprisingly warm), but you do need to be a little more aware of how you wear it around sharp edges/snags. The only exception to this is is my ELC 0.50cal A-1...
