The Deck Jacket thread.

[MadCat]

This happened around this time last year as well - everyone is looking for them with the lower temps.. eBay or the exchange here are some of the best spots to try and find one, I was lucky to pick one up from a member on here last year, its a great coat.

That said, both Heat Straps and Dehen have them in stock (just more money).

Ive been looking all year and nothing. Must be a man power or fabric shortage in Japan lol

After having dreamt of an olive y2 leather N1 for quite a while I bought a Buzz Rickson + William Gibson leather N1:

I know Kadoya makes one : https://ekadoya.com/en/blogs/s-p/the-n-1-deck-jacket-is-also-a-special-leather
TOYS McCOY make one : https://sonofastag.com/products/toys-mccoy-n-1-horsehide-leather-deck-jacket-black
Real Simons from China make a repro, Brake House sells those : https://brakehouseshop.com/products/n-1-deck-leather-jacket
Crush on Retro has a pretty poor looking one in my opinion : https://crushonretro.com/products/mens-n-1-leather-deck-jacket
Shangrila one also look pretty meh : https://shangrilaheritage.it/product/deck-n-1-testa-di-moro-leather-jacket
Double Helix makes a beautiful olive version too. But that dickhead (let's give the profanity filter something to do) Fjorde wears one so value reduced : https://zefear.ru/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=2759
Schott made some : https://www.thefedoralounge.com/threads/trade-for-schott-leather-n1-deck-jacket.120511/
Someone ordered one from 5* : https://www.vintageleatherjackets.org/threads/n1-jacket-from-fivestar.27157/
No idea who Houston are, but I've seen some of these in JP listings as well: https://www.houston1972.com/view/item/000000000129 and https://www.neutralcostore.com/products/horse-leather-n-1-deck-jacket

But mainly Y2 seems to be the dominant force for Leather N1s.

Any other makers that you know of that have made these? Seems pretty rare and niche.
Would love to see some example from loungers if you have leather N1 deck jackets!
What do you think about them? To me they are in a similar category as the Type 1/2/3 leather jackets that were inspired by denim jackets.

The Shop Vancouver olive y2 N1 still remains one of the coolest leather jackets I've ever seen.
