I am obsessed with deck jackets because they're warm as hell, cool as sh*t, have a fascinating history, and are made of all natural materials - some of which you've probably never thought to wear.
For this video I break down the four deck jackets I own plus a few other popular models you can check out! Let me know which is your favorite!

05:01 Charles just wrote me an email to note that the lining is described as wool, alpaca, and cotton - but through an error in translation. The cotton component is the very fine mesh the wool and alpaca is woven through. So there's technically cotton in the lining but the fuzz you're feeling on your skin is pure alpaca and wool, no cotton :D
Review the Triple Aught Design Deck jacket
@@Arouni don't tell me what to do
Have you checked out the Iron and Resin Nautilus?
Love that at 13:00 you were walking around with the deck jacket but the girl in the background was in a tee shirt, made me laugh and your dedication is appreciated. Out of all the deck jackets I’ve seen, my favorite looking one is the Dehen one, it just looks beautiful.
haha almost all of the b roll was filmed last week when it was very cold but that shot was from like Spring when I was filming the White's Cruiser review!
I've learned about a very fancy one with mouton lining called Real McCoy's N1 SPL, I'm trying to find one in blue - might be a good pick for you!
You are a very stylish gentleman & we thank-you so much for your amazing creative content.
My Father wore his Deck Jacket for decades that he wore during WWII on a battleship. I’m still wearing mine that he bought for me at a surplus store in the early 70s. They were very popular with both veterans and celebrities during the 60s.
Wow this was a excellent video packed full of great information huge thanks my man
thanks man, i worked hard on this one!
Honestly I wasn't too familiar with deck jackets. Thank you for the thoughtful introduction. Well done, as usual!
Happy to help! As soon as I saw them I was like I must preach this to the public
I have the N1 parka from Pike Brothers and I really like it, even warmer than the short standard version! I actually own a few of their products and would love to see you cover more from them!
Regards from Sweden :)
Good to see a great video on the N1 jacket.
It would also be great to see a review on the MA1 bomber jacket. Especially the Alpha industries..
Great video like the style of jacket . Might look into getting one . I bought huckberry trucker jacket last year and it’s awesome . I’m in Australia 🇦🇺 keep up the good reviews
Very nice review Nick!
The Dehen one is incredible in person. Pricey sure but it really is next level. These are all great.
killer video. would love one of these for Canadian winter.
Wow, yet another reason to add one more jacket 😊 Happy New Year!
I have the Freewheelers N-1 jacket.. I love it to bits, surprised you didn't have this one on ur radar .. cheers Tony.
Amazing video! Very informative
Cool video! I got a variant from Roark x Danner collab with some chunky waxed canvas. The liner is 100% poly tho so that sucks but it’s still very warm. I have a couple jackets from Amundsen called the Harvester jacket/overshirt that have a similar thing to the deck jacket going. These are made of thick wale cord w/ 100% wool fleece lining. I think you should sell the first Iron Heart and flip that cash into getting the xl. American Trench has a similar one to Dehen made with Cockpit USA that looks pretty cool.
I recently got the Universal Works jacket on sale for 175. I was skeptical til I received it. Really well made. No loose stitches, etc. Very warm. It uses polyester fleece and polyester wadding inside for extra warmth. I have other N-1 jackets from well known companies and as far as fit and craftsmanship on par with them. You just aren't getting alpaca or wool for the insulation. For the sale price this is actually really nice. Pictures don't do it justice.
Great list. I got one from Cockpit USA, has a poly interior but is pretty lightweight. Exterior is like corduroy. Looks all right, hoped it’d be here so you could rate it! Anyway nice vid, enjoyed it. Love nerding out on specific pieces
When I saw your filson mackinaw I thought 'hmm, I wonder if he ever considered an n1?" Suffice to say, I think I got my answer with this vid. Great analysis!
Love the look of the deck jacket. Had to sell my Buzz Rickson N1 because the collar was too itchy on my neck and it was actually too warm to wear so I could never use it.
The RRL bower deck jacket looks dope without the alpaca lining and the non itchy corduroy collar 🤙
Yeah Buzz Rickson's is the itchiest of my deck jackets, but Iron Heart's isn't itchy at all. Freenote's is in the middle
Got the waxed pike brothers version in the dark khaki colour. Very happy with it.
Great review; thanks. IYO what is the better value-iron heart or Dehen?
The 'Lost Worlds' version of an N-1 deck jacket is made of heavy duty, black, horsehide leather. It features an authentic, 'fireman's hook' closure system for the storm flap covering the zipper, a full (body & sleeves) felted wool lining, and a knitted wool collar and storm cuffs. Roomy, wind-proof, warm and water resistant, its durable horsehide exterior makes it tough as nails and probably the most unique version out there of the iconic N-1. Apart from the use of horsehide for the outer shell, it's a highly accurate copy of a circa 1943 N-1 in all other respects. One of my favourite coats that gives real meaning to the N-1's other name: "foul weather jacket".
I bought the deck jacket from Pike Brothers this past fall, mainly because I loved the look and it happens to be my last name. I absolutely love it! The jungle cloth is thick and the sleeves are great for me - they have an internal cuff and then wider than normal opening which works great with heavy gloves. I ride my motorcycle often in the winter in the Northeast and it keeps me very warm - I can't say enough great things about it. The only slight negative is that the wool collar is a tad scratchy, but I'm almost always wearing a collared shirt so it doesn't bother me. Highly recommend for half the cost of the others!
I've been looking HARD at the Pike Bros one because I want a black or grey one and theirs are made with jungle cloth! The measurements seem a little odd though, I"m not sure if they're transcribed wrong or if I'm looking at them wrong. You found the fit OK? Not too long or short?
I have a medium and it’s a little off. Could have probably gone with a Large.
How's the sleeves, are it too bulky?
I have the Iron Heart N-1 and recommend sizing up since it's slim. I normally go with a medium and did here. It fits snug, but is difficult to layer. Looks amazing though.
I actually tried the XL version and found it too bulky for such a short jacket. I should have put that in there but I tried it after I filmed this! I think it just works best true to size without layering, but on folks built less like a corgi than me! #longtorsoproblems
Edit: Bought an XL second hand and when it's worn in, it's compressed more and slimmer and actually looks great. When it's new it's puffier and I didn't like.
@@StridewiseI LOVE your channel!you do great work. You’ve helped me so much.
I normally wear XL in all Iron Heart western cut shirts (UHF, Denim etc). Would you recommend an XL in their N1?
I have someone who’s willing to sell me an XL for a good price, but can’t find any locally to try on atm.
Thanks!
FOOLS!
1. Dude you keep turning me on to so many new styles and I so appreciate it.
2. Could you clear up what Thursday is doing with their lasts in the captain/possibly vanguard? I keep seeing some really really round toe boxes.
thanks justin! all i know is thursday is updating all their lasts and i think there's a bit of a mix out there on the market now. i told them i want to do a video on the new sizing/lasts and they said to hold off until everything is finalized :/ for now you might need to talk directly to them or wait a bit
@@Stridewise I look forward to that video but in the meantime I’m not a fan. Thanks!!
Cloth and Cut based in Europe makes a very good version of the N1 jacket .Its a solid piece
Love it mate! Keep up the good work
Thanks dude! This will probably become my most worked on least viewed video ever hehe
I can tell man,I’m sure you will have plenty of interest. Unique jacket and a nice alternative, I think people will appreciate it.
I love your brown iron heart jacket because it goes awesome with a red plaid shirt and lighter colored jeans awesome review
Yeah it's a cool color! I kinda wish it was just a little more golden and less green but I still love this jacket
They are nice jackets for moderate temperatures but, last week it was -46 deg. where I live and you need a lot more jacket than that to avoid becoming a frozen dinner for the coyotes.
By far the best winter coat I own is the Eddie Bauer B-9 down parka. You should check it out.
Iron and resin have a waxed nautilus jacket that is waxed canvas but looks like a deck jacket. It's amazing. I love mine.
That’s sick I’ve wondered about that one
Bro, that wink got me feeling 🥺
I don't agree with the Stolen Valor thing on USN deck jackets. These jackets were made in WWII. If he ask the guy wearing it and he served he would be in his 90's. As long as you don't walk around saying that you serve in the military I don't think it is Stolen Valor. Vintage military clothing wouldn't be out in the wild if it wasn't sold at surplus and gotten rid of as unwanted clothing.
Just got the Iron Heart N1 delivered in XXXL and loving it. I started with a XXL and it was just too tight around the waist and a little snug in the shoulders. The 3XL is perfect. Just for comparison, I'm 6'4" with a 46" chest measurement. The length is spot on as well, which is rare for someone of my height. Unfortunately, it just warmed up here, so no opportunity to wear it. Should cool down soon though.
I found a used XL for cheap so I can justify buying it and getting it tailored, hooray for us both
I love this style of jacket. My IG Explore page has now become filled with these older military style jackets. Can we possibly get a series of videos on the Stridewise/your collection of jackets, boots, denim, and everything else (that isn’t too personal)?
I first got introduced to the concept of the deck jacket from a brand called floyd and co. It’s not the same materials but still seems nice
cool! yeah that's a pretty different jacket but i definitely see the similar DNA
Damn it Nick now I'm obsessing over these jackets
This was really helpful, convinced me to size up when ordering from The Real McCoy’s.
Also, love this video. Got the b-2 from iron heart and love mine in black.
Is it XL??? Sell it to me at once
@@Stridewise XXL ;) although we have the same body type, I got bigger and the XXL is just brilliant. I love the jacket and would buy another in a different color in a second. IH deck jacket is up next for me in olive or tan. Simply amazing quality.
I tried the Pike Bros N1 deck jacket and I didn't like it. I think I would definitely have gone medium or maybe even small but they only had large. It was too short and too wide. Didn't really suit me. Are they all like that? The wool was coase too. The buzz rickson one looks like the same kind of short boxy fit from the website photos. Yours seems to fit you well though. What is Demotex?
Hello! Any Deck jackets have a hood addition? That seems like a necessary feature for the really cold winters.
Great video! Love my Iron Heart N1 Deck Jacket, I just wish I would of sized up!
I tried mine a size up and it was just too bulky for such a short jacket. Very sad I don't have the body for Iron Heart's N1s they're soooo good
what size iron heart N1 did you get?
@@caseyzaft6734 I'm wearing L in the video, I just bought a used XL though and it's great instagram.com/p/Cp0tmwmukGI/ when I tried a new XL it was too big and sleeves too long, but this worn one has flattened and bunched with wear. Very happy! Just sold the brown one because I decided it was too short and too itchy
Good selection covered. I actually finally pulled the trigger on an N1 Deck Jacket. But went with Tellason's N1 Deck jacket collaboration with Todd Blubaugh the 14oz selvedge denim version. I figured if it rains most likely I'm wearing another jacket with a hood. But riveted buttons did impact the decision. The selvedge denim looking better as it ages. Not a biker but arm length does also usually factor in the decision.
Awesome pick! Didn't know about that but I love coats made with denim that aren't Type 1/2/3 jackets. See also Freenote's RJ2 which I'm obsessed with
@@Stridewise The RJ2 is an awesome looking coat. I saw when Carl Murawski and the Iron Snail posted reviews. Curious if anyone does one about the updated fit. I also like things slightly different than the standard. One reason I had to get the JT Jacket from Ship John.
@@SummerlinW How has the fit changed?
@@Stridewise Freenote doesn't go into detail. But I saw an older M version on eBay and the measurements increased for the updated fit increased very little for the body length, cross shoulder and sleeve measurements. While the chest measurements were the same. Probably feedback received to make it more functional for bikers influenced the updated fit.
The new N1 from IH, the waxed version. Best of both worlds (and still a couple hundred dollars cheaper than Dehen)
Recently obsessed with this style. I ended up with a wabash version from UES. Synthetic lining but half or less the price of all these mentioned. If anything, perhaps I'll look to "upgrade" to a Dehen in the coming years but this thing is so warm it only comes out on truly cold cold days.
What a fascinating version!! A pinstripe deck jacket, I’m obsessed. Thanks for the tip Daniel!
@@Stridewise With fading potential....
I have the UES in khaki and love it. Super warm and inexpensive but with good quality construction. I agree though the Dehen looks like a nice upgrade in the non-traditional N1. Buzz Rickson’s repro is really a great faithful repro, that I like too.
Have you ever had the SM Wholesale N1 deck jacket?
I bought one and thinks its quite nice for the price and made in the USA
I love the iron heart one!
Me too! It's just a couple inches too short on me but otherwise I'd keep it. Though honestly watching this video I'm like 'it's not that bad why did i sell it'
Never heard this before to be honest!
I live in Australia, probably not cold enough for it.
I like the thought and effort you put into your videos, really shines through.
Also around 3:26, is that Steve McQueen? Slipping in a style icon...
I noticed, James Dean, and Paul Newman in the vid, not Steve McQueen.
That is Steve McQueen.
Yup Steve McQueen, Paul Newman, James Dean all rocking it. Should have called them out by name!
@boerenkool yep, fair enough having re watched I see him. Missed him first time. At 3.25.
Best place to buy one pls ? Online or otherwise. Thank you great channel.
My fav is the Iron and Resin Nautilus Jacket. It’s made of Bedford Cord.
That's an excellent contender. The lining is polyester and looks cheap but the price is definitely right
@@Stridewise yeah I agree with you on the the lining. I also could tell from the sizing that they run small, so you would need to size up for layering.
Iron Heart one looks the best! Perfect length, whipcord finish looks slick and the spacing between the buttons is just right!
Chris Hemsworth wore a beige khaki one in Extraction 2!
He did! Hope that made Iron Heart some money
@@Stridewise Definitely! You Australian boys modeled it well!
I want to go with the Dehen and I typically wear Medium in my jackets except for my Rogue Territory Supply jacket. I am 5'11 and around 180 pounds with an athletic build. I plan to wear this with sweaters and flannels. Do you recommend the Medium or Large?
probably large if you want it chonky
I like them all. My Dehen 1920 Divison Road collab jacket arrives on Thursday. So, it's a timely video indeed
OH MY I missed the Division Road collabs. Me wishing I had a grey deck jacket and you drop this in my hands, damn you Trey
Awesome man! Did you get the Whiskey or Slate?
@ShawnsGear I got the whiskey. I think it looks way different than anything out there. But in the long run the Slate would be more timeless. But it was sold out in my size so went with the whiskey
@@treygreenleaf7878 so awesome man! Fully agree. The Whiskey really pops. DR always kills it with their Collabs. I was so tempted on the Whiskey, but I already have two N1s. I’m curious how the quilted/satin sleeves and pockets will feel as compared to the fleece lined sleeves and pockets of the standard Dehen N-1. I can see me liking the change in the sleeves, but I love my fleece lined pockets. Congrats on that pickup man!
@ShawnsGear thanks man! And DR really does the best collabs. This will be my first N1 so I'm excited to recieve it. I think I'm going to enjoy the quilted sleeves because I have several jackets with flannel lined sleeves and it's so hard to slip your arms into
Please review the Ironheart M 65!
What's a good place to buy jungle cloth fabric?
That's why I love your channel, I was not even familiar with these jackets before. I'm definitely getting the whipcord n1. What is your height and weight? I'm 235 and 6'0 feet. I'm considering 2xl. Any suggestions? thanks in advance
Yayyy so glad you liked it. Some videos I do because of the subject's search volume and some, like this, are because I want to tell people about something cool! I'm 6' and 190lb and the L was true size, so 2XL seems about right for you? Though I'm not great at guessing at those ranges
@Stridewise thanks for the reply, you are the man 💪🏾
I love that Jake uploaded a video today saying that deck jackets aren’t the best winter jackets 😂
dude I know that was so funny, we're texting about it hahah
THAT SUNOVA
@Stridewise saw that too! I think you both should sit down for a joint video and battle it out! Friendly of cpurse!!!!
Jake’s review is obnoxious. South Californian (and obviously winter jacket expert) reviews gaudy jack that isn’t an N1, and declares the N1 overrated because he sees it ‘everywhere’. Ok.
Do you have a link to Jake's video?
That B2 is sweet!
I'm gutted they took it off the market I want a black one so bad
I own the Iron Heart and Dehen deck jackets. Dehen hands down.
Hi, Nick! Greetings from Ireland.
Thanks for mentioning Pike Brothers as I had (somehow) never heard of them before.
Are there any other EU-based retailers you would recommend, please? Perhaps a short video for your European subscribers...? 🙂
Nice cameo, Ticho!
good eye!
I got mine from The Real McCoy's in Tokyo I love it.
Impeccable timing! I just sold my Iron Heart N1 to pull the trigger on a Dehen N1 yesterday. The IH was great but the fit wasn't perfect on me. I'm hoping the Dehen is as luxurious as it seems. You're right though, there really isn't much content out there on N1 jackets.
Awesome pick! I wish it was jungle cloth/bedford cord instead of waxed canvas which I'm kinda tired of, but if the Large is 29" tall I'd probably get one because the length is my biggest stumbling block!
@@Stridewise I agree. It would be nice if Dehen maybe offered the jacket in either fabric. Bedford and waxed canvas both have their advantages. Waxed canvas definitely isn't as interesting or unique in the heritage clothing world but it's reasonably practical for the application and the full mouton lining seems like it will be amazing for Michigan winters.
@@Stridewise dehen 1920 made the n1 in an olive cotton sateen outer shell recently for some retailers. I think Withered Fig has it for sale and some others
@@journeymanedc Yeah but there are a milllion waxed canvas jackets out there, half the reason I like deck jackets is the jungle cloth!
@@victor8794 Indeed! I slept on the one at WF. It looks soo good!
I'd love to see a video on the lined leather gloves seen in this video. Which brands are they?
Here! czcams.com/video/4XLaNpBW7ds/video.html
Lmao! I always wondered what kind of jacket I had. I have what is I guess a workman's knockoff. It's made by a brand called "a-range outdoors" it's from the 70s and it's made of a heavy duck canvas shell with a heavy wool blanket liner and a sheepskin semi-shawl collar. It's held up brilliantly moving firewood from the pile to the stump then indoors.
Hey there great video! I am trying to find the Ironheart N-1 but it seems like it is hard to find at the moment. Do you have any suggestions? Also, as for size I typically wear medium in most my jackets except for my Rogue Territory Supply jacket, which I wear in Large. Do you have some size suggestions?
Iron Heart's jackets are here www.ironheart.co.uk/military/?ktk=YnJHczhNLTk2NDVhOWU3NTUz and here www.ironheartamerica.com/military/?ktk=YnJHczhNLTdjZDVjMTlhM2Rl but stock's a bit low

@@Stridewise any suggestions on sizing based on what i mentioned?
@@simonkang3775 Oh if you're L in RGT you'd be L in Iron Heart, in that both brands are just a teeny bit small on me in L so the sizing is similar
Love Dehen a great alternative they have is the flight jacket for much less
A couple years back I found an original WWII N1 deck jacket. I’m a vintage reseller and I bought it intending to resell it, but then I wore it a couple times, because why not? Anyway, two years later, and this thing will live with me until I die. It’s SO warm and comfortable. It’s frequently the only jacket I take with me when I travel in winter
I like never realized an 'all natural' cotton shell jacket like this could brave such cold temperatures
@@Stridewise I have a couple mackinaw cruisers (I used to work for Filson), and like you said, the deck jacket’s way warmer. It kind of makes them feel like shirt jackets
@@dylanhall6355 I know my Mackinaw suddenly feels so flimsy!
Personally I love that Iron Heart version. I think all the right upgrades and improvements were made and I like the slimmer, more modern fit. Feels less "LARPy" than a more vintage repro
For sure, I just wish it were a couple inches longer and I'd be sold! Damn my long torso
@@Stridewise Still better than wide feet :/
@janoschfoerster2921 facts, all I want is to wear converse without my feet looking like sausages
I really recommend the N-1 FROM Bronson Mfg. They're making them in china but for very good quality and its only 190 bucks
Solid brand, pretty much everything they have is great value and good quality.
The stamping is not stolen valor. Neither is wearing an army field jacket.
You are 100% correct Sir!
We live in the mountains where it gets quite cold (-1 deg F last night). What I have found is the best Winter jacket is the 32 Degrees Heat fleece jacket. They might be available elsewhere, but I get them at Costco for around $18 between August thru October. As far as fleece jackets go it is better than average. I have lots of really nice jackets but most of the time I wear those cheap fleece jackets because they are very warm and you can throw it around and not care if you abuse or lose it.
Biased opinion here, but I love my Freenote Mariner. Because I bought it online, I trust Freenotes sizing over IH's. IH's sizing is a bit all over the place for me in general. Also picked the Mariner up last spring on sale, sold on both the price and the full alpaca lining. The idea of buttons on the IH didn't really appeal to me as it seemed redundant and alot of work to zip and button. Simplicity of design is more to my liking as well. That said, you cant go wrong with any of the 4 you featured..
Love my Best Made N-1 w corduroy collar !! Merino wool !!(I think HahahH) Toasty !!!!!
I think you did a good job addressing “stolen valor.” It’s a very tricky issue. Even among people who’ve served, there are a variety of opinions. Anyway, nice work.
Bought the original olive version at a military surplus store in Manhattan in the late Sixties for $12.00...
Beautiful work
Review of sneakers of lether of the frye company please 😊 greetings from Ecuador 🇪🇨
Great vid. Thanks for the info. Going to get a black Iron Heart 1 and shear some old dark mink for the collar replacement.
Very cool 👍😎
Silvermans in London UK offer a cheap Deck Jacket for £164, they have website that can easily be found.
I prefer a Barbour + arcteryx vest. The longer length keeps me warmer
Yes the short length is my main gripe and reason for preferring the B2 from Iron heart. I've heard of the Real McCoys N1 SPL which is an extra long version that I'm desperately trying to find in blue
Gator Aid, I have a barbour and an arcteryx body warmer and I doubt they are warmer than an N1. Granted, longer and arguably more water resistant. But, barbours sleeves are cold and sweaty.
how do you clean the jacket? it being wool/alpaca lined?
it's super easy to launder, apparently, that's why it was so big for the military
I have a USN jacket 🥰
Are they the Thursday Cacao Titans I saw you wearing. Do they still squeak?
No! I'm trying to wear them all winter so I can do a patina video and they pair so well with the tan Iron heart jacket
@@Stridewise Cool. I'm tempted by the pike brothers deck jacket. I wonder how warm it is - there aren't any reviews around.
That iron hart looms great on you though i know it is nit how deck jacket should fit but looks cool from modern view
The B2 you mean? It's the best fit, I'm so mad Iron Heart discontinued it
Oh you meant the N1. It does look great you're right if it were a couple inches longer I'd be fine with the slimmer fit
New-ish subscriber here! Will you be doing a review at some point of satchel and pages Montgomery jacket? Would love to hear your take if it's in line with Carl Murawski's.
You know I have their leather jacket but not the Montgomery. It looks awesome, I have like a 'super review' of their bags, dopp kit, and jacket coming up - no Montgomery though sorry!
@@Stridewise no need to apologize Nick I'll still be watching whatever you put out there lol
All the best!
Any guys in the US Midwest that can attest to the warmth of these jackets? I’m talking Chicago, Minneapolis where it can get really cold 🥶 (single digits F). 🤔 I do like the jackets. Thanks!
I have the dehen 1920 n1, the mouton fur feels softer than cashmere
I'm realizing that as much as I love all the variations, my priority should be getting one that fits my long torso and I've learned Dehen's is exceptionally long... I may get one despite the outer not being jungle cloth, which I love. Oh but I love the jungle cloth... damn it
@Stridewise dehen 1920 just came out with an olive Japanese cotton sateen variant, which I believe is essentially jungle cloth?
Sell ‘em all and get a Buzz in the right size! I wear mine down to -30s at work (I drive for a living and am in and out of the vehicle all the time). However, I’ll only wear it walking TO work down to -15 or so, after that it’s the puffy down thing for me.
*the temps are in celsius, without that goofy ‘feels like’ windchill nonsense
Have you looked at triple aught designs deck jacket?
I have and am turned off by the polyester dominant lining, but the price is right!
Goddamnit now I want a deck jacket 😂
when I was 16-22 I was broke AF and on a motorcycle for transportation. the only clothes I could afford were from the army surplus place in town. I stole all that valor. I wore a peacoat, air force pants, army gloves and boots, I think my balaclava was special forces. I didn't give a shit bc I was warm. I was only asked about it once and I said "I'm broke, what do you want" and that ended the conversation.
I Think The N1 is the Lined Version which is made for Coldest Climate
And there is the N2 which Is Unlined and Less Warm Which What I Have Made by RRL that is more Versatile When You Can Layer Beneath
Yeah nothing wrong with an unlined one if you want one - except they're charging about as much as the lined ones!
@@Stridewise True, Within Niche Market Money is a Concern so is Usability
For me I think downsizing a fjallraven jacket number 68 is the best . It’s over the top but I freaking love jacket 68 and it by far has the coolest name
hey that's not cotton! but seems legit. i always know a hood is more practical but i just prefer without
@@Stridewise if your looking for the best deck ive seen check out corlection atm those guys are just on fire. deck jackets from freewheelers and they have the god tier endgame momotaros that were made on the manual loom with silver buttons!!!!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
What size you wearing in Buzz Rickson?
42!
Nice discover jackets .......I am in NYC in marsh where can i find a good workwear store and where to buy thorogood boots and 6 inches insulated timberland without going in WIP carhartt store !!!! I want to buy where blue collars go not in fancy overpriced store in 5 th Avenue per say
Thanks mate
I appreciate your work and you made me discover lots of brands and things like Karl murasky even if you go overboard in time of price sometimes 😂
But I get that quality is not cheap 😢
In NYC, you can try Burlington or the Army/Navy stores. There is one on 8th Ave in the 40s and another up in the Bronx on Jerome and Fordham Rd.
