    The Deck Jacket thread.

    I lament about the patterning/cutting/sizing of Pike Bros N-1s since more than a decade now. Had one good example (they are there, like some fellow loungers also had the luck to experience), but most I had coming were sent back because of sizing/patterning issues that I couldn't explain myself...

    Too cold at 10F also when rambling about and moving? I see you only wear a T-shirt underneath? No space to layer? Would sizing up ruin the fit? I guess so...

    And that's exactly what is amazing about it. Perfect jacket. Perfect fit on you as always. I have to see if I can clear out for space in my closet and get funds for a RMC now.

    I also agree with the others here. Fit is perfect. Don't size down.

    I shall upgrade to RMC. Don't tell my wife!

    Looks like someone has removed and reattatched them, looks not normal to me. Here are a couple of mine. I had the cuffs removed in my Bronson N1, so no photo of it. Original A-2 Deck Jacket, 70s Mil-Tec N1 Pike Brothers N1 (oldest version)

    I bet Will's nice Silverman's is every bit as good if not better but realistically priced imo.

    ...uhm.. 700 Dollars for a jacket with polyester teddy lining and simple polycotton shell? It must be tailored for me to meet this price.

    Yes. I have my opinion, though I have not seen this jacket in person. But from what they say on their website, it's too expensive for what it is, I believe.

    N1 Deck Bib?

    Good that you chimed in, Thor! Since there is noboby else here who knows this stuff better than you! When it was my time back in the late 80s, we still had improper gear. I remember the old Bordjacke, made from over 60% Viscose, leather jack boots with slippery soles, cotton trousers... not to...

    I had the navy waxed coming about three years ago, but not directly ordered by Pike Brothers but a Motorbike-Scene-Store. I was disappointed and sent it back. It was looking black, not at all navy and it swamped me, especially the sleeves. I come to believe that they are having different...

    N1 Deck Bib?

    Take into account, what those N1 Bibs were used for and in what era! They were used 80 years ago , when modern equipment was not yet invented. They were used on decks of aircraft carriers, you would be quite stationary, not very much moving around. And the chance to go over board was like zero...

    This is me preparing one of the smaller oaks, 30 more to come. This is very hard on one's back, I can tell you. You eat ALOT during those times.

    I think diet and exercise or physical activity in general depend on each other. If physically very active and working outdoors in hard winter weather is your activity, your diet has to be accordingly, you simply need more (healthy fats, carbo hydrates and a protein rich food, more calories). If...

    Don't worry, I was merely joking, I am quite happy with 78 kilo at 187 cm :) It's just a little bit of fat gathering round my hips every winter that make me feel uncomfortable wearing Jackets in S or M, especially winter jackets. I am an outdoor guy, also jobwise, spending most of the days from...

    I remember being annoyed by the knit cuffs feeling placed to high up my arm.
