    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Beautiful -- that's a Mulholland leather color I'm not used to seeing! How do these run -- true to size?

    ^ Jin, your jackets always seem to fit beautifully. Maybe you should become a fit advisor, consultant, mediator, or whisperer for the rest of us ;-)

    The Real McCoy’s / Joe McCoy Nelson 30’s Sport Jacket

    Great looking jacket. I know what you mean about the lack of an interior pocket -- the one thing that's missing for me.

    The Deck Jacket thread.

    ^ You may already know this, but no back stencil on the N-1 SPL.

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    ^ Thanks for the details. It all works together well and the fit is spot on. I would never have known that you took features from various jacket styles and managed to integrate them so well. This is easier said than done.

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Jin, Thanks for the detailed response. Both jackets (FW Mulholland and FL) are beautiful and fit you quite well, but I now understand how different they are (e.g., leather, construction, etc.). Forgive me if you've explained this before (or if it's too detailed to go into here), but what base...

    Very nice jacket Jin431. I realize they're different in a few respects, but how would you compare this to your new FL (e.g., leather, fit, feel)?

    B-10 jacket -- which exterior fabric?

    I've seen B-10 jackets with various exterior fabrics, including cotton sateen, jungle cloth, and stiff chino drill. What are the pros and cons of each and which do you prefer? Also, what was the exterior fabric on original B-10 jackets?

    Let's talk about Deck Jackets (my grail has landed)

    ^ That was actually my concern. The standard N-1 is already so warm, I can't imagine how warm the heavier SPL would be. Then there's the mouton -- really nice, warm, and comfortable, but is it over-the-top for the utilitarian N-1?

    Let's talk about Deck Jackets (my grail has landed)

    As we know, the McCoy's N-1 is expensive. And then they make one that is even more expensive -- the SPL version, with mouton collar, different zipper, and heavier exterior. Money no object, which would you prefer? https://www.realmccoys.co.jp/catalog/products/detail.php?product_id=4522&pg=...

    Johnson Leather Jacket

    ^ After owning way too many pairs, the one that fits me best, and quite a few other body types, is Ooe Yofukuten, a husband-wife team in Japan. Other good fitting jeans that are readily available include the Fullcount 1101, LVC (Levi's) 1947, Orslow 105, TCB 40s or 50s, Warehouse 1000XX. Roy...
