Navy Deck Jackets
After the all-cotton deck shirt... any takers? They seem to range in price from a few pounds (I just made a Best Offer and picked one up for $20) to fairly expensive for a WW2-era piece. I see Pike Brothers are offering quite a decent-looking example. I just want something more for winter layering.

Re: Navy Deck Jackets
I tried one on & manhandled it - Very nice. Should have bought it on impulse instead of thinking about it !
I'm liking your new direction very much.

Re: Navy Deck Jackets
Are they, strictly speaking, 'Ivy'? I'm not sure, or even sure that it matters. Certain clothing/footwear serve a certain purpose at a certain time of year. Today, I'm in a white Makers OCBD, McGeorge white cashmere v-neck, Bean jeans and Sperry. That seems to me to be Ivy League.
The deck shirt is very pleasing - but can I find another like it? I settled instead on a USA-made Hathaway, all-cotton chambray.

Re: Navy Deck Jackets
I like them but I never got one myself. Isn't there a Paul Newman photo somewhere in one of these? Jimmy?

Re: Navy Deck Jackets
That is a cool picture! I wonder if the jacket was actually his from his hitch in the Navy in WW2.

Re: Navy Deck Jackets
Spiewak do them still..and cheaper.. but am sure they only ship to Japan now outside of the States...
Probably not as hot quality wise either as the Pike and deffo not the Buzz Rickson's...
I've a tan one from a few years back which does me ok in wintertime along side a peacoat...have seen the Pike Bros one in JS last year but they only had tiddler sizes..... seem to come up small maybe??..

Historically I've been a big fan of classic Americana/workwear and am as happy in that as Ivy tbh, especially in Winter time... I'm past caring in differentiating...I likes what I like...and like everything in life, go through phases of wanting to be smarter or more casual - thus ending up maybe looking more one than the other....

Re: Navy Deck Jackets
On a sidenote - Whilst I remember...many moons ago on a trip to NY, I was given the telephone no of Spiewak's head honcho who very kindly gave me the addresses of everywhere in the Big Apple who were stocking a peacoat I was after at the time...
How delightful I thought...
It proved a complete waste of time of course as no one had any and I wasted my time traipsing round various places...I seem to recall somewhere around 34th & 8th, an Army Surplus place that was run by a complete lunatic who kept showing me knives/guns...and the like instead.... felt like I was in there for weeks?!?!?
Happy bleedin Holidays, huh?!?

Re: Navy Deck Jackets
I'm almost thinking about splurging on one of the expensive vintage items on Ebay. It'll probably take me a day or two to reach a decision, though.

Re: Navy Deck Jackets
I do have an awful weakness for a bit of Military Americana.
Know someone who bought a fairly knackered N-1 deck jacket from Vintage Showroom in Covent garden for £500. I didn't have the heart to show him some of the ones on ebay that regularly go for around $100. It looked damn good on him though to be fair. Currently waiting on an A-2 jacket from the states (ebay - $30) Similar, but no fur collar, from the Vietnam rather than WW2 era.

Re: Navy Deck Jackets
I scored this US naval hat on eBay last night for a sawbuck - http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=230814303772
Will serve me well under the burning desert sun of wadi rum this fall!

Almost - but not quite - tempted. Again. What think you?
