I like them. Good ones are not cheap. Cheap ones have synthetic Sherpa lining instead of wool/alpaca which is a no-go for me just from a performance POV and not being all anal about authentic reproductions.Thruth what’s your take on N1 deck jackets? I’ve never handled one, but it looks like something that might work for our winter snow vacations and last longer than the Lands End crap that keeps wearing out. OTOH, seems a bit trendy now and the days of picking one up a nwot ‘Shoreshank Redemption’ jacket at the local surplus store are long gone.
I think Bob Dong and Bronson have wool linings and you are slender enough to be able to fit their cuts. These two brands are amongst the best of the entry to mid-level ones.
Pike Bros. have a nice repro (waxed) that is cheaper than Buzz and the Real McCoys.
