    Freewheelers Mulholland Alternative

    Seeing how quite a few people prefer the Mulholland and Mobster, I would agree that the badge holder and laces may be a turn off to them and those people are likely more attracted to small details besides the leather. IMO it is possibly similar when people much rather go for a repro A-2 than...

    The Deck Jacket thread.

    Thanks for the correction. You caught me. I was lazy without clarifying about the contract numbers and the various versions.

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

    The first one is a Navy Utility jacket (nicknamed N-4 by some but officially the N-4 designation belongs to its predecessor the WW2 era USN jacket similar to the Army M41) not an A-2. It has cotton shell without the blanket lining and no side straps. Yes it is issued. The second as you have...

    The Deck Jacket thread.

    I guess you bought the Khaki RM. RM being the more faithful reproduction than FW. The original Khaki (later model) does not have alpaca all the way to the end but the original Navy coloured (early model) does and in this regard RM's 2 versions faithfully copy the originals. As for the weight...

    Vintage Outerwear: Threads of the Past

    Please take a look at the topic. There are lots of threads in FL talking about jackets from Europe to Pakistan to China. It has been pointed out to you and more importantly for the benefits of other readers that it is not a vintage original Buco or Trojan. Your use of both Buco and Trojan...

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

    I didn't know the difference in m65 when I bought my first. There was no internet forum etc for information and I did not buy a book or Japanese magazine. I just went with the one I thought is cool and fits at a local vintage store. An Alpha small short with brass zippers and a few patches. As...

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

    Issued A-2 deck is not difficult to find. The sought after ones are like m65, the Vietnam war era ones, especially the early version with pointy pocket flap over chest pocket.

    I think 58panheadfan may be right. It looks to be a Curphey copy of Freewheelers Switchyard. Same lining, same HH tag. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005004592148624.html

    leather type 3 options

    I think the Aero ones is based on a late 60s to 70s Levi's style with big pointy collar. The 70s style is also a longer and slimmer cut. I doubt it is a 50s cut/style as advertised by Aero.

    How many new jackets do you have coming (and how many potential ones)?

    Fake Schott Made in usa cafe racer?

    May be he lied about buying it new or may be he lied about the tag. It sounds fishy but you have also made a lot of assumptions yourself. In any case, file a complaint, write a bad review, "persuade" the seller to accept a return. Lots of options. Selling it "as is" without any...
