The best Winter Jacket: N1 Deck Jacket from Buzz Rickson´s

[@sebwrafter]

I had one of these jackets a few years back, and LOVED it. Material, style, fit, everything was spot on. Unfortunately one night I got caught in some very heavy rain and had to walk in it for about half an hour or so. Came home, hung the jacket on a rack to dry. The next morning the jacket had SHRUNK considerably! I would say it went down a full size (shortened in sleeve length, and slimmer overall.) I was pretty frustrated by this and reached out to Buzz Rickson's to complain. They came back to me saying that this kind of shrinkage simply isn't possible with this type of jacket, and that they couldn't do anything for me. I ended up selling the jacket a few weeks later.. To this day I'm still confused by the whole experience, and always wonder if anyone else has had the same kind of shrinkage lol!

[@UrbanLadUK]

It is good to know if anyone else has had the same experience. So far, to my knowledge no one has had that problem, but it is important to know

[@elephantricity]

i have the olive green iron heart.. best jacket ever.

[@UrbanLadUK]

It is really good!!!! As with all IH products, never going to let you down

[@sergioramirez1693]

How much was it. I really dig the old military/Americana west sadly you don’t make these anymore in America

[@UrbanLadUK]

@@sergioramirez1693 it is expensive for the materials that are used can be more costly than a good leather jacket. I pay for this in HInoya 400 pounds maybe 500 USS.

Another great review Diego. I tried to get an Oiled black Iron Heart version recently for my son but they'd all gone in his size. Im like you, in that i prefer the traditional colours. I think id even prefer a early blue version.

[@UrbanLadUK]

Thank you, mate. I almost bought the blue version, but the khaki caught my eye!!!

Great overview. I picked up one back in 2018 and loved it. Outgrew it and decided to pick up the newer model. Sadly, quality of the lining has decreased. Blend is the same (40% alpaca, 35%wool, and 25% cotton) but its alot less thick. My only gripe with this jacket. Hope it will be as warm. Edit: i did not get the demotex one. Maybe i should have.

[@UrbanLadUK]

Hi! Thank you for watching!! The Demotex version is heavy and very warm!! There is now a lighter version not as heavy!!

[@Ofenlicht]

Just ordered a Pike Brothers one. I tried on the Real McCoy's and Buzz Rickson ones and the RMC one was too small and the BR Demotex one imo too expensive after the price increase and I didn't necessarily want the US NAVY stencil on the back. The RMC one was beautifully made and I would have bought it if it fit.

[@UrbanLadUK]

I hope this works for you, the N1 is a beautiful jacket!!!

[@Ofenlicht]

@@UrbanLadUK Thank you! I will update you on how I like it 👍

[@spitfireaace]

Have a Bronson. Pretty accurate jacket. Not alpaca lining, but looks about the same. Wool blend. Cord shell.

[@UrbanLadUK]

I don't know how the products hold in the long run, but they look perfect for the price tag

[@johneroyale]

Sub here! Looks great on you. Also, I like your frames. I'm thinking to try that shape with my next glasses. I keep getting the wayfarer style.

[@UrbanLadUK]

Hi!! Thank you!!. The frames are Moscot and the model Miltzen. Small changes give you a fresh look 👍👍👍👍

[@antoniobranco8005]

Urban Lad do you know by any chance the price of the silvermans navy deck jack i cant afford the expensive ones and iam not into the Mil-tec nnº1 usn navy deck....apreciate

[@UrbanLadUK]

Hi, the Silvermans N1 Deck jacket looks very nice. The price is around 170£ 👍👍

[@yankeesfanforlife506]

It’s a nice jacket the only negative is the stenciling.. if you didn’t serve it would be embarrassing having to explain .. I have the Ironheart N1 in the same color .. The quality is unsurpassed.

[@UrbanLadUK]

Hi! Good point, but I think this jacket has not been in service since the 60s; it is a historical piece; moreover, in the late 40s and 50s in the US, it was used by civilians who were in service and who never were in service. The Iron Heart version is an excellent jacket!!!

[@yankeesfanforlife506]

@@UrbanLadUKhey buddy don’t mistaken my comment as a knock . You actually earned a new subscriber here . I apologize for any confusion . Like I was saying I actually love the jacket and I do see it as a histrionic piece . I was only referring to myself as a person who didn’t serve I would feel awkward explaining if someone asked but the jacket is badass and the video was very informational and I appreciate you guys who put out these product reviews . Keep the videos coming . Another thing with regard to the stenciling I generally don’t like any logos or stenciling on anything I wear.

[@UrbanLadUK]

Not at all!! as always, I thank you for any input to help me make better content. I appreciate your support!!! By the way, the Iron Heart N1 was my second choice very close to BR´s

[@antoniobranco8005]

I think i am going to buy the bronson navy jacket is there any one who knows about their sizing 1 am 1,67 77 kg apreciate any information sorry Urban Lad i cant afford the Japonese i am retired guy...a hug

[@UrbanLadUK]

Bromson is a good option, and according to your measurements, the Size 38 looks like it suits you if your chest is not bigger than 42 inches

[@antoniobranco8005]

It is bigger@@UrbanLadUK

[@UrbanLadUK]

@@antoniobranco8005 Then size up 😉

[@weldoncheung9717]

where did you buy? is this the 15345 lot?

[@UrbanLadUK]

From Hinoya last Summer, Lot: 12032

[@weldoncheung9717]

@@UrbanLadUK I just bought one from Hinoya. This year's LOT is 15345. Do you know if there is a difference?

[@UrbanLadUK]

There is no difference; a different lot doesn't mean a change in the jacket; it only tells the period of production

[@weldoncheung9717]

@@UrbanLadUK thank you. I received my jacket yesterday and love it.

[@darrenbarbera2377]

Great jacket i had the original buzz rickson with the great fur I personally think the buzz N1 is the best one I have the rmc now I like the fur is more premium but the fit on the buzz is better

[@deadman8816]

[@atmavictu2995]

IF I wear a jacket with a USA logo most people would call me fascist....I guess you can get away with that in the UK but be careful wearing it in mainland Europe.

[@UrbanLadUK]

In matter of fact I was wearing this jacket in Spain and France this weekend and so far so good.

[@georgeleorgebeorge2354]

Same here. Nobody ever called me anything where I live. Not that I’d care anyway.

[@reesefinch3930]

Huh? I'm an European ANTIFA punk rock kinda guy and I wear this jacket, lol.

[@chrismiller9987]

Most people? Really??

[@fenners1]

What a ridiculous comment.
