I have buzz rickson's navy blue N1 in good used condition if you're interested

was $13.00 too much for you?

[Mr Black]

Haha- that's exactly what I thought. You deserve to get outbid if you're gonna be that tight.

[robbie]

I'd be happy to borrow yours, I mean since that's what they're for.

Where' d you get it for $150?

[Rivet Head]

Nice! I have one that they were selling at Macy's a few years back...American Vintage or something? I think I paid about $25 on sale. It's a little big on me, but I could try a hot wash. This one is a bit better constructed I would guess.

[robbie]

However, I just received the Spiewak N-1 G Deck Jacket and it's pretty freakin' awesome. ....]

didn't realise 'golden fleece' = spiewak. I found one at a thrift store in tulsa,OK this summer.

tigerprawn - how did you size on the spiewak?

[lawlercon]

Yup KL was the first place I looked at. I think after any applicable coupon codes you use it comes out to around ~$240... Also the KL model makes the jacket look horrible. He should probably wear a small.

I bought it off Gilt a week or so ago. I usually don't buy stuff from there since nothing really interests me, but I'm glad I stayed on the mailing list. It was $155 shipped. It will probably pop up again because when the sale ended there were still L and XL left unsold.

Even at $200 I still think it's worth it. This is going to be my go to winter jacket for years to come.

you can email gilt cs and ask them to put that coat in your cart if they have it in your size - you don't need to wait for them to put it back on the site!

[zackl111]

cool, thanks tigerprawn.

it looks like it's sold out in all sizes on gilt, it shows under the "Coat Rack" sale.

[robbie]

vintage 'golden fleece' spiewak jacket. pretty similar to the one Tigerprawn posted, it's got a black quilt lining. and the collar is a little different too I think. It un-snaps to become a hood. My guess is this one is probably from the late 60's or early 70s.

[madstaxbro]

Picked up an original M-43 field jacket and a repro hood. Got an original pile liner later but the wool was shredded.

Also does anybody know where to get this type of boot lace, sort of a medium brown/red like they issued back then. Old stocks are getting harder to come by.

[eltopo]

older osh kosh overalls.

how does Alpha Industries stand in term of quality? anyone?

[crappykid]

how does Alpha Industries stand in term of quality? anyone?

I'd say it's ok. Considering their prices

[Rivet Head]

Alpha - cheap price = cheap quality. I have one of their newer N-3B jackets and it was Ok, but not great. I picked up a real one in a trade for under $100 a few weeks ago, so out the door it's gonna go!
