They know their business
If anyone based in the UK is looking for a Deck Jacket I bought one of these in the mustard colour.
Great piece of kit.

That one looks nice. Have you worn it in cold weather yet? If so, how did it feel?

I have an original that does well in cold weather, but probably not very cold weather, like below 20° F. Below that and I would want a sweater or another warmer jacket. But they are good for what they are.

I checked the temps in Scotland. The average temps in your winter months are comparable to our temps in Nashville, but in the summer we are 30° F warmer than Glasgow. So the N-1 is a good winter jacket for both climates in the winter.

I think you nailed it with your comment.
I own a couple N1 copies as well as an original one (too small to wear, condition ain't good) and have at least something to compare.
I like the PB one for it's more roomy cut. Simply more conveniant. Also craftmanship as far as my impression goes is very good.

Just gone some older piccies for Deck Jacket:
in general i got more repops of "BRONSON" and "BOB DONG" (yeah - weird name) in my collection rather than the much more expensive BR or any other japanese Versions.
I've been collection them over the years and recognized that there are sometimes huge differences in details and quality depending on which production run.
This is a early "BOB DONG" in totally inaccurate blue, size 44 (or XXL) which fits me still pretty good. (approx 100 kg / 1.90 mtr)
Stencilling was done by me myself
Another very early BOB DONG in khaki with hooks - since i use to wash them a couple of times to give them the not so "factory fresh look" the jacket faded very nice - stencils as well as all decoration except the US NAVY on the back was done by a friend of mine "Mr. Ties"

This is a very early BRONSON version in the correct shade of bluish grey - almost black - weight and consistency of the fabric is almost 100% to the original - i own period "NOS" (new old stock) BIBs which compare - see pics
Even the stencils - which ain't white on the originals - are pretty much detailed and period correct (even though i know they differed in-between the manufacturers)
comparison with period bibs

Out of couriosity i also tried a deck jacket from "At The Front" - a supplier which is usually "top notch" with his equipment ...
I was pretty disappointed with the quality though - the lining / artificial ALPACCA looked more like a teddybaer rather than anything else been used in WW2
Slammed some stencils on her including the "USN" on the front and sold her - size was a "Large" like with all garment from ATF they run big anyway
