Nice Finn, I like how the gusset overlock stitching crosses over like that.

Anesthetist, pics or it didn't happen!  I look forward to seeing that beaut.

Also looking forward to pics. Got my eye on a BR n-1 too.

Which one did you get? Natural undyed alpaca or the more expensive "demotex-ed"?

And does anyone know the differences tween the two?

[Anesthetist]

This is the version I bought:

Charlie @ historypreservation said there was this version, a "seawash" version (also the treated alpaca) which was heavier and aged, and the Gibson version.

…and my jacket comes today!

Ok so these pics aren't the greatest….yeah they pretty much suck but you get the idea. This jacket is pretty awesome. It's warm and roomy but not too bulky.

Sweet jacket!  Looks really warm.

[Snowy]

…and not overly bulky either, great blend

[Chiba J.]

Thanks for the pics. Looking good!

[ongaku]

what size did you get? M or L?

[Seul]

Great look!..

[Anesthetist]

This the large. For reference I am 6"2 and 168lb. I could have probably worn a medium but I wanted a comfortable fit that I could layer with.

Looks good on you, also great you are able to do some layering..

@Anesthetist:

I'm 6'2" about 190lb. For me the medium fit very well and I could still get layers on underneath it. But your photos look great.

any further opinions on the 'revised fit' sweatshirts? I ordered one through HPA - they recommended I go with a medium (6ft, 40" chest) - it's a little on the short side, and the shoulders a little too narrow.

Concerned if I size up, the neck will be too wide to sit nicely with an oxford shirt. It's just about right on the medium - although I do wonder if the tightness of the shoulders is causing my natural shoulder to 'pull' the shoulder seems out, stretching the neck. I'm a 16" neck - don't know if anyone of similar stature can offer advice!

[grandmasterben]

It's not a shirt, it should stretch out if you need it.

[timbo]

Sorry, I'm not quite sure I follow. I can understand perhaps it stretching out in the shoulders, but not in length? How would one achieve this? I'm also hesitant, as it will most likely shrink in the wash? My concern also with it stretching in the shoulders is that this will also have an effect of stretching out the neck.
