Who makes the best N-1?

[Blackadder]

There are two versions of BR N-1. IMO the more expensive sea-washed is nicer and almost on par with normal RM. However, the price of the more expensive version is also almost on par with price of a normal RM.

Almost on par with the Japanese price of RM, not on par with the Standard & Strange markup in the US.

Got my Freewheeler N-1. So far so good. This is a size 42; I'm 180ish lbs and 5'9". View attachment 90789 View attachment 90790

Hey, sorry to ask but I am similar in height and weight and was thinking about getting a size 40 Freewheelers N1. Do you think it’s better to opt for a size 42 instead?

With Japanese brands, if you think you’re at the edge, it’s always safer to size up.

McCoys Navy coloured N-1 is slimmer and longer than McCoys Khaki N-1. So yes and no. McCoy's navy N-1 is about the same as MF N-1H but McCoys Khaki would be wider. FW's N-1 is slimmer than both MF and RM.

Well HPA's price of the BR Demotex N-1 is 750 whereas RM N-1 is 775 at S&S, so yes I'd say on par.

He raised his prices after Toyo did. It used to be like 550.
