[Oops, I found another thread similar to this after I posted, sorry, hopefully a mod can merge them or something]
I found some cheap second hand Mr. Freedom jackets, they say they are size 40 Large and according to their site they are my size.
I’m usually a 19.5 in the shoulders, and my chest...
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...
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...
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...
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?

So, I ripped a zipper on my Real McCoy’s A2. I contacted them, and they said they would replace the whole zipper for $125. It sounded way more appealing than getting rid of an expensive jacket. So, I filled out the customs forms and shipped it to Japan. It’s been stuck in Japanese Customs...
I am on lots of small boats in 20-degree and colder weather with cold water spray. Does anyone have any recommendations for something that will protect me better than blue jeans in this frigid weather? Ideally, I could wear them over jeans and with an N1 Deck jacket.
Edit: So I discovered this...
I want to buy a Filson Mackinaw Cruiser. I’m 6’3” and 195 lbs. What size should I get? They look like they run very large. My chest is usually between 41 and 42, and my shoulders are around 19 inches.
This is an esoteric question, but I’ve noticed Real McCoys has kind of fallen out of favor recently. Do you guys think that overall, it’s probably better to go with Rainbow Country or Freewheelers for leather jackets now?
I just got this Real McCoys Western Trucker jacket and I would like expert opinions on whether or not this fits or if it is too big on me? I asked my friends and they didn't really have a clue. The shoulders have me vexed.
