I’ve been after one of these for awhile and I thought Aero offered one but I can’t seem to find it on their site. Kind of dipping a toe in the style so I don’t want to spend too much. Any suggestions? I’ve looked on eBay but it’s absolutely flooded with those generic, photos been ripped off someone else’s site, shipped from China crap. Help a brother out and point me in the right direction.

What’s your definition of “too much” for a jacket like this?
I was really diggin this one I found on Yahoo Japan. Around $300. Not familiar with the brand.
Buzz Rickson has a nice one too. I’ve seen it go for $400-$450

On the cheaper end I think Pike Brothers make a decent jacket. Bob Dong also should be comparable.

Yahoo Japan search. ^
A lot of variety, but shipping might be prohibitive.
Except for the more known names (RMC, Buzz etc...) I’m not sure who make a quality one.
Just did a quick eBay search. Finding a vintage one for a reasonable price shouldn’t be hard.

Aero sells the Pike Brothers N-1.

Looks like they are out of several sizes at the moment. I think I recall reading generally positive reviews of this jacket, although people are quick to point out that it is not quite as nice as the Buzz Rickson or Real McCoys

Yeah I’ve seen some buzzs’, freewheelers and toys McCoy’s go for even $800 or more. But for the most part you can get them on Rakuten for about $400 + shipping. Sometimes less.

Depends how 'repro' you want to go. You could pick up a Carhartt Sheffield jacket for much less :
I saw those. Those are the WIP line right?Depends how 'repro' you want to go. You could pick up a Carhartt Sheffield jacket for much less :
SM Wholesale's N1 is the closest to original design and best bang for the buck I've seen. https://www.smwholesaleusa.com/
That said, I tried to order one and the communications were less than expected, I was unable to pull off the deal and walked away. Perhaps you'll be able to do so. Nice coat, made in USA and I feel the price is good for what you're getting.

Denimio can proxy Buzz ricksons N-1. Heres the link to the khaki version which is a pretty decent price IMO and comparable to the IH you linked.

I’ve bought denim from denimio before, great experience.

What about At the Front? I have a couple of their army jackets (tanker, M-41) and think they're very good for the price.

For a new N-1, this would be my choice. Unfortunately, the company is perpetuating a common misconception in saying this jacket is "Khaki" in color. It isn't khaki, it's olive drab.
That grey one is incredible. I have no clue how these fit but I think the XL would be a tad large...thanks though. That’s a beautiful jacket.

That looks like an excellent option for the price! I confess I've been looking for a decent budget N-1 for ages, and thought Carhartt was where my money would go. But this jacket looks ace.

They're also selling the navy blue version, which I think would be more "wearable" out-and-about than the olive drab version:
