Thanks to everyones input on this tread I ended up with one of HPA's Buzz Rickson+William Gibson Black N-1's. I can not be more stoked on this jacket. Construction is outstanding and this thing is warm. HPA was a pleasure to deal with as well.
Anyway, I appreciate all the input!

Hey all, Just like the title says. Im looking for a thick Shawl collar cardigan. A point in the right direction would be appreciated.
By raglan I mean Slubby i guess, should have used a better description.

Yea Im pretty fortunate that Sweet Routine was a well documented bird. This jacket is by far my most prized posession. Coolest thing is my grandads military ID still in the pocket.

My Grandfather was also a co-pilot on a J model Named "Sweet Routine" that operated out of the Pacific. Below are pics of his flight jacket I have.

While I havent owned Unbrandeds 21 oz offering, I have owned both Unbrandeds normal weight and Iron Hearts 634s in 21 oz. That being said for being an "entry level" brand, Unbrandeds quality and denim are fantastic, and I keep mine in normal rotation.
BUT there has to be something said about...
I notice the N1 Deck Jacket doesn't get mentioned all that often, but I had a question.
I am looking a either a Buzz Rickson or a The Real McCoy's Repro. Have any of yall handled both? My biggest concern is the itchyness of the Alpaca/Wool blend. I will probably be only wearing a...
If it is inappropriate to link from outerwear to the classifieds my advance apologies. With some recent discussions on High end selvedge denim, especially the thick stuff. I figured their may be some interest...
All,
Didnt go with my gut and ordered wrong size. My loss is your gain. Ebay auction starts at 200 bucks.

Ill be shortly placing an order for a Fontana and Im pretty settled on brown FQHH. I am flirting with Contrast stitching in tan. Anyone have any pics of Aero Brown FQHH with tan contrast stitching? I have seen it most often in A-2',s but wonder if there is much difference in the FQHH. Anyway...
Thats a good question. I would say this......If i started with a yard of 15oz denim and a yard of 25oz denim and washed them both 20 times, I would expect them to not necessarily weigh what they did at the start, but equal to each other??????? I wouldnt expect that. But hell Im a telecom...
While I am under no circumstances an expert on the subject, I do wear a pair of Momotaro 705's on the Daily. Now "body washing out" to me signifies the loss of starch that is present in the jeans when new. I come from the school of thought that you get a pair of raw selvedge, weather...
