perfect fit Double o

Thanks Guys, im pretty happy with them. They are a very loose cut compared to my LVC 47.

Never thought I would see a new pair. A true gem popped up at Yahoo Auction! 601XX from some years back

Pulled on my vwest this morning and noticed...bright pink rivets?

Photo does not do it justice.

 

Before...

 

They have not been washed so there is no reaction with detergents and it has only happened to the hidden rivets?

[Double 0 Soul]

Im from the North of England ooms, we dont have many bits that aren't pink. For at least 11.5 months of the year.

Thanks Hog.

 

I have the 1947 . What are the main differences? Sorry if this has already been covered.

Barring last minute random Yahoo Auction finds, I've pinned the 601XX 1939 as my next pair for the "collection"...

Hello, does any one know how much this will shrink after the first careful (hand) wash?

 

 

It's a 1910 Conductor shirt with the yarn dyed blue, cream and old-gold. Thanks!

No shrinkage. It is one washed.

[Coolguyzack]

Sort of unrelated question, but can anyone tell me why certain shirts and jackets have that diagonal button slot? I've seen a few brands use that, Rogue Territory comes to mind. Does it serve (or did it serve) a purpose other than decoration?

[SuperJackle]

That was for a pocket watch I believe.

[Coolguyzack]

Damn it's funny to think how that used to be a convenience

If anyone wants a medium grey t shirt.... hit me up.  as usual, too long for me!

I just picked up the Freewheelers N-1 from Hickorees (Specifically this one http://www.hickorees.com/brand/freewheelers/product/deck-jacket-dry-finish-cotton-duck) in size Large. From a visual perspective, it seems to fit fine, but there are few issues that make me think it might be too small, but may just be aspects of this jacket style that are desirable. I'm hoping somebody who owns this N-1, or any other (McCoys, MF, Stevenson, Buzz) for that matter, sees this and can offer some advice on whether it really is too small. I don't have pictures, because I feel like the issues I have won't show in pictures; The jacket actually looks very good.

 

1. My first issue is that I feel like i have limited mobility. the fabric is very stiff and the jacket fits slim, so I can't comfortably raise my arms above my head. Im not usually in a situation where I have to do so, but this seemed like a red flag that it may be too small. For example, my commuting bike has a relatively stretched out stance and I'm not sure it would be terribly comfortable in this position. It basically fits like a suit jacket fits, which looks good but doesn't offer the best mobility.

2. The jacket isn't short, but it's not as long I thought an N-1 would be. It fits me a bit like this one http://www.selfedge.com/jackets-vests?product_id=1175. The pocket placement feels very high and it feels awkward to put my hands in them.

 

Hopefully somebody can chime in and share how their own N-1 fits so I can know whether I'm being too anal and this is how this style is supposed to feel, or if it is too small. Thanks in advance.

Thanks Hogg. I thought as well that Denimbro would be a better place to ask this but I've only ever lurked there so I thought I'd try here first. I guess now is as good a time as any to sign up.

[Quoise1203]

Here's a fit pic. After seeing this third person perspective I am convinced it is indeed too small for me. A bummer because Hickoree's doesn't have an XL and I much prefer the details and price of this version over the McCoys.
