    Stencils and Patches *Sigh*

    I mean I do wear because I’m kind of a fan you could say. Also a big history nerd.

    Stencils and Patches *Sigh*

    I don’t wear Marine gear because I don’t want to get punched lol. I thought the Blue Angels were a safe bet because they sell their merch at their shows. “No, I just like the hat” has been what I have been saying every time. Maybe what I don’t like about it is the fact that wearing it invites...

    Stencils and Patches *Sigh*

    Stencils have been discussed a lot on here, particularly the USN and ARMY stencils. I’m starting to understand why they get so much hate. When I entered into this hobby, I had the mindset of oh, military stencils are just a fun Easter Egg, nobody’s going to actually notice or care. Nonetheless...

    NEED ADVICE: Iron Heart Deck Jacket Vs. Real McCoys Deck Jacket

    It sounds like the consensus is that people prefer the look of the Real McCoys, but the Ironheart Deck jacket is more rugged and tough?

    Advice needed for first top-tier G-1 leather jacket purchase

    Nothing beats trying on a jacket in person before buying them. G-1 can be worn seasonally, B-3 is only a winter jacket. TL;DR: you’re making the right choice imo.

    How often do you wash your knits?

    P.S. While I may have exotic taste in jackets and knitwear, my blue-jean wardrobe is probably the same as every other regular American man's. I have two denim pullovers, one from RMC and one from Buzz Ricksons. I have never washed either of those; I’m afraid too, lol.

    How often do you wash your knits?

    It depends on the pair of jeans; since they are all Levi’s and Wranglers, I would say I wash them after every other, every two wears. And yes I do roll in the mud with them lol. When it comes to my Sugar Cane denim jacket, that I have only washed twice: once to shrink it to the right size and...

    How often do you wash your knits?

    Yeah, it smells fine, and there are no stains. I also have a knitwear mist from N.Peal, which I can use if I want to freshen it up. The Hanes T-shirts I wear must do a good job of protecting the sweater.

    How often do you wash your knits?

    Yes, when I started getting into higher quality clothes, I used to wash everything after every wear, but as I have learned more about clothing, I’ve started to lean into it. It ain’t broke, don’t fix it. I have less laundry to do the nicer my clothes have gotten. I wash my T-shirts, socks...

    NEED ADVICE: Iron Heart Deck Jacket Vs. Real McCoys Deck Jacket

    I know this is an old thread, but if anyone is still torn between these two, I think I like the Iron Heart better. I’ve seen both and own the Ironheart. The fact that Real McCoys doesn’t line their handwarmer pockets, while the Ironheart does, and the lining is so soft, was one of the deciding...

    How often do you wash your knits?

    How often do you wash your merino or cashmere sweaters? I swear I have worn this one knit probably a dozen times with a T-Shirt underneath, should I wash it or just wait?? I don’t like when you have a soft sweater and then you wash it and loses some of that softness. For reference I already...

    Iron Heart Deck Jacket Color Poll

    Just curious what the overall consensus is. Like I said the title, this mostly applies to Iron Heart, but feel free to vote and comment your opinion on Deck Jackets in general. I’m also curious if any you have noticed if the oiled deck jacket preforms noticeably different than the non oiled...

    Bronson N-1 Deck Jacket sheds tons of fibres from pile liner!

    Then you’re braver than me. They all sound like solid jackets except for the Bronson. But like I said I have had been experiences with them. I did get their 8HU Chambray shirt and that is fine for doing carpentry or landscaping in, because I’m not going to miss it terribly if it get destroyed...

    Bronson N-1 Deck Jacket sheds tons of fibres from pile liner!

    I don’t wash mine because it’s oiled whipcord. But even it wasn’t I’m paranoid. You are correct because the Navy said they were looking for a garment that are easy to clean. There are two kinds of Deck Jackets you don’t wash: the super expensive ones like Real McCoys/Iron Heart or the super...

    U.S. Navy Denim Gunner Smock

    I bought one of these recently and I would like to start a discussion here because I noticed that no one is talking about these. I’m curious if anyone here has any insight into the history or lore surrounding these garments?
