    Does anyone have a Real McCoy AND a Buzz Rickson N-1?

    As I said, I like the fit and look of it, much more so than the McCoy's. And I also had to find out what clothes workes best underneath. I wear thin merino knits or light baseball sweatshirts, sometimes medium heavy sweatshirts. Best, when the shirt or sweater I wear are fitting close to my...

    You could also have them tapered to reestablish the same geometry and width at the sleeve end as it has now.

    Just my suggestion depending on where your wrist is. You stretch the arm out so this could be the right length if I had to choose.

    Does anyone have a Real McCoy AND a Buzz Rickson N-1?

    Wasn't it with the instant buy option? I'd pick it up. It's in very good condition and So-Sew Styles belonged to the best makers back then. You can see it was hardly worn when you look at the knit storm cuffs. Those things are frayed on most jackets that had been worn. This seems to be in a...

    Does anyone have a Real McCoy AND a Buzz Rickson N-1?

    Oh I must have misunderstood you, the McCoy's is already ultimately yours so the window to return it is already shot? Somehow I though you still have to chose between the Buzz and the McCoy's. In this case I think it's clear. As for your sleeves, it depends on how you like them. The creases...

    Does anyone have a Real McCoy AND a Buzz Rickson N-1?

    There are times when I think that despite that N-1s as well as A-2 were issued to ships not individuals, some could have been private purchases tailored for one personally. I have seen N-1s made from pique fabric with better fur. I sometimes think that the A-2 in grosgrain was another curiosity...

    Does anyone have a Real McCoy AND a Buzz Rickson N-1?

    His sleeves are so much too long while the rest fits, that this is not an option. Actually the sleeves on N-1 Jackets are rather not the easiest to alter. You have to undo the knit cuffs, shorten the fur liner, re-attach the knit cuffs, shorten the sleeve, re-do the attachment to the knit cuff...

    Does anyone have a Real McCoy AND a Buzz Rickson N-1?

    I think we can sum up what most including the TO agreed on. Ranking: Option 1: Keep the Buzz, let the sleeves be shortened. But check one size bigger first if the bigger size solves the armhole issue. Option 2: Keep the McCoy's N-1, let the sleeves be shortened. (No armhole issue, feels good, TO...

    Does anyone have a Real McCoy AND a Buzz Rickson N-1?

    True. There are very early ones made from Jungle Cloth. They seem to be the rarest. But it's hard to find examples in NOS or mint condition. Most I have seen were totally battered, only good for rags as my wife would put it but still run over $250. The rectangular pocket flap appeared towards...

    Does anyone have a Real McCoy AND a Buzz Rickson N-1?

    She is fed. Found this Vintage A-2 for you. It's nice condition, knits intact, color good, your size and its in Bellingham, Washington. So-Sew was a very good company. He had it wrong, it's 1985. One of the last. Returns accepted...

    Check also Bronson! But you will have to size up. There is one ebay shop, something with vtgdr-store or so. They will ask you for your measurements and advice you to size up.

    It's the exact same Jacket. It's just called Military Surplus on Cultizm's site. Cultizm is a store in Münster Germany. They also have Iron Heart, Pike Brothers and such. I think most traders sell these on ebay or even amazon. Go for the cheapest incl. shipping.

    No N-1 though. I know Thomas had an N-1 Deck Jacket form them years ago, sold it on.

    the Tanker really is a nice alternative. But I am really curious if you can get that cheap Mil-Tec N-1 over there in the US, it is a nice looking and comfortable jacket for the price tag. To clear things, it is not a question of money for the thread opener, it's a question of fit.
