    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

    A few days ago I finally received my Whipcord N1 Deck Jacket - Olive Drab Green. The quality is great. The wool/alpaca blend is nice and warm. I like the fact that the sleeves are slightly longer. Especially good for motorcycling. I'm looking forward to seeing how the jacket performs in winter in sub-zero temperatures.

    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!

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.

    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 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.

Also picked the Mariner up last spring on sale, sold on both the price and the full alpaca lining.
