    What do you consider high rise?

    Could be that your natural waist is wider in circumference than your hip. Or the trouser is too wide at the waistband. In this case you could have them tailored down a bit on both sides.

    What do you consider high rise?

    What has been said. Plus: There is a huge difference between Wrangler 13WMZ for the European market vs those for the US. The European Cowboy Cut Wranglers have a much lower waist and are made from inferior fabric imo. For my body proportions a high rise sits above my hip fat :) and just at my...

    Washing N-1 Deck Jackets

    One of my blue Bronsons shed tons of hair after one wash, could comb out a bucket full. Now this shedding has also stopped. "Good" to hear that other brands have the same.

    PSA: Bad Actors in Classifieds

    Don't put your words into my mouth. I don't think "Classified Gestapo" fits at all. At least it shows a certain grade of creativity albeit lacking the corresponding grade of humor to be a point. (it's my german lack of humor when someone mentions Gestapo)

    PSA: Bad Actors in Classifieds

    Classified Gestapo? "I was bitten by a rabbit. Or rather, I was nibbled by a rabbit, but, because I was such a weedy, namby-pamby little pansy, I reacted as though I’d lost a limb. It was the sheer unfairness of it all that so upset me. One minute, I was saying, ‘Hello, Mr Bunny!’ and smiling...

    Washing N-1 Deck Jackets

    I washed a Pike Brothers N-1 in HOT water and put it in the dryer on medium hot to achieve just that. Not only did it NOT shrink at all, it came out unchanged in general. I had previously washed it 40°C (104 F) to prepare it for my overdying experiment. The dying took place at the same temp...

    D Did I see the first one on Kleinanzeigen recently?

    How Do I Tie N1 Drawstring Cords?

    The Scaffold Knot in Mumpy's post is movable. That's why I use it on my N-1's.

    What a fantastic fit on you! I wear mine almost exclusively since I have it. Such a great jacket. Thanks for showing us!

    It's been a while now, have you finally got it? Do you like it? How is the fit on you?

    Does anyone have a Real McCoy AND a Buzz Rickson N-1?

    I edited my post about the details of the fabric. I attached a photo of an original early 1944 first pattern khaki N-1. The differences are minor. I believe the original weave is denser or tighter in lack of a better word.

    Does anyone have a Real McCoy AND a Buzz Rickson N-1?

    Thank you! There are far more knowledgeable members here, though. I know very little compared.

    Does anyone have a Real McCoy AND a Buzz Rickson N-1?

    Nowadays there are many different fabrics refered to as "Jungle Cloth", "Jungle Cross" and they come in various weights. It is really difficult to judge what "real Jungle Cloth" must be like if one can't compare to the original side by side. Also the cotton used today differs alot from the...

    Why I do not recommend Simmons Bilt Type B-7 parka

    It becomes clear to me that this was designed as a coat instead of a jacket. I can see now what others said. S-B have made a jacket. Found another one. Although the positions of the pockets seem closer to the originals in the "jacket" he recieved than it appears in the product photo from the...

    Why I do not recommend Simmons Bilt Type B-7 parka

    Just curious, is this a B-7?

    Why I do not recommend Simmons Bilt Type B-7 parka

    Of course this is nitpicking from my side.

    Why I do not recommend Simmons Bilt Type B-7 parka

    Yes, I know but I think it was not instantly clear to others to whose post the second part refers. So it could be read as if it was also one of mine.

    Why I do not recommend Simmons Bilt Type B-7 parka

    But you will agree this could be read as if the other post could also have been mine.

    Why I do not recommend Simmons Bilt Type B-7 parka

    With respect, I don't agree. I can't read it this way, maybe because I am not a native english speaker. Perhaps natives can read it this way. If someone reads it this way or wants to read it this way, I should make it clearer. I have no intention in defending a company when they don't take...
