    Freewheelers rude black wear and tear patina etc

    On the other hand, this is my FW Brakeman, which is more of a beater jacket these days. The sleeper brown horsehide is thoroughly broken in and very soft.

    Freewheelers rude black wear and tear patina etc

    This is Jet Black deerskin (FW Journeyman), which is beginning to become patinated, but not really heavily worn. It has almost a bronze undertone in some lights.

    The GREAT BRITISH DUFFEL COAT thread

    Not strictly a duffel coat as it’s a modern rendition by Nigel Cabourn, but certainly in the spirit of... Nice bargain too: the RRP is chunky £200, £40 on EBAY. Some nice detailing...

    Real McCoy's Deerskin A1 jacket - size 44 (fits like 42)

    Sadly a bit out of my price range, but it looks fantastic.

    New Freewheelers jacket? Four Corners

    It’s been around for several years. The flapped chest ticket pocket is a nice touch.

    Pants to go with N-1 Deck Jackets

    The High Rise are cut for braces/suspenders, but Vauxhalls have both buttons and belt loops. Another option are the Plains, which are more conventional.

    Buzz Rickson William Gibson sizing question

    Thanks for your reply. It’s a 37-J-1 (USN 1930’s summer flight jacket), which is usually quite trim fitting. The quoted measurements are: Size 42 Chest width 24" Shoulder width 20" Arm length 26" Back length 26.5” This seems more typical for a 44” to me.

    Buzz Rickson BR14144 Colvinex Civilian B-15 Made In Japan Size 44

    True on both counts (it is subdued), it’s just me but I prefer to wear them unabadged. Good luck with the sale.

    WTB 37J1 (Buzz Rickson or Real McCoy)

    Looking for either a: Buzz Rickson 37-J-1 or Real McCoys Zielinski 37-J-1B replica. Sizing is likely to be a 42” or 44” (22” or 23” pit to pit). Does anybody have one that they are looking to offload?

    Buzz Rickson William Gibson sizing question

    Does anybody have any experience of sizing in William Gibson series garments? I thought that I’d managed to find a BR jacket that I had been seeking for a while (a 37-J-1) in ‘my size’ (now a 42) only to find that the P2P for a 42 is 24” and the shoulders are 20”. In my experience BR jackets are...

    Buzz Rickson BR14144 Colvinex Civilian B-15 Made In Japan Size 44

    I really like this jacket and it’s very tempting (I like Bedford cord in preference to the usual twill, and the rust knits). The only drawback is the USAF decal on the sleeve - I don’t know why they included this on a civilian jacket as it’s off putting.

    Vintage Eastman SFAD B3 size 42R

    The B-3 usually leaves me unimpressed (and even this version when it’s pristine), but this looks great as it’s well worn in a mellow colour. Can’t believe that it’s not gone already.

    Questions About the United States Navy Peacoat

    Sadly, I’m now considering selling my Ralph Lauren replica WW1 peacoat. Post weight loss, it’s just too large for me. I have picked up a couple of vintage 42R peacoats (1940s and 1970) as replacements.

    Ask a question, get an answer

    A question for USN vets. I see modern high end repro woollen watch caps with a manufacturer’s label (space for name/rate) on the outside of the turn up. This seems odd and contrary to what I’d have expected (with the label hidden). What was the norm?

    I have a couple of Overall jackets (and a Medway, which is similar). They’re really practical jackets.

    Very breezy on the hill top today, so a vintage Spiewak civilian Excalibur deck jacket.
