Really nice jacket. I do like the dark brown alpaca lining yours has. I have the BR/N-1 like Thors, and I do like it a lot. The sizes of the Pike Bros and the BR must differ a lot. Mine is an XL also, (fits perfect) and I normally wear a size 42 jacket, and am 5'7"/165Lbs, so the BR and Pike...
My idea of a "Grail" jacket is not having just one jacket that fits all occasions, but a jacket that fits, looks, and feels exactly how you want it to, and is even better than what you expected when you ordered it. The one you feel really good in everytime you're wearing it. Thats why, if you're...
I know you were contemplating a 2-tone jacket a while back. Think about a 2-tone Ventura. You don't have to over-do the 2-tone, just subtle contrast. I have an Aero 2- toner and love it!
I have the same jacket in XL, great jacket. I wear a size 42 usually, so this is the first time I've ever worn an XL. Their sizing in Japan is a little different than in the US!
We get the lake effect snows from Lake Erie and Lake Ontario. Can't wait for them to freeze over so this snow lightens up. Syracuse actually gets more snow per year than we do, but we seem to get all the press. No matter, we still get more than I care for, my back is aching!!:eeek:
I can put up with the cold weather. You can dress for it, and just go on with your day. What I hate is the snow! You have to shovel it, drive in it, and if you have an outside job , you have to work in it. It's been snowing here in suburban Buffalo for two days none stop, and there is no relief...
Quite a few years ago I sent my G-1 to US Wings for cuff and waistband replacements, and I was very pleased with them. I am not a fanatic on exact replica type things and think their knits were very nice.
I don't know if you have seen the AL Simmons-Bilt jacket lately, but their version of this jacket, and the collar they re-styled for this jacket look as good, or better than any other company making this type of jacket!!
Looks great! I have basically the same jacket except mine has just the front yoke style with leather, and wool cuffs(no leather on cuffs). Mine has a roomier fit than my 30's HB, and the only thing I would change(modify) is I would prefer a dropped front(i.e.-30's HB). It's a nice jacket and...
