PIKE BROTHERS
-
Does anyone have any experience of the fit/quality of the pike brothers deck jacket?
No experience but I really like the look of it - thinking about picking one up. Probably go for khaki but the black looks nice too. What size are you? There's an XXL up on eBay… which is sadly too big for me.

.
i looked at one of these at the trip out last week ,the quality seemed pretty good ,and the price was good £260 ,where as the buzz rickson range from £400-£600 depending on where you buy them .
i am looking for a buzz rickson but may go for the pike bros n1
-
the PB version is quite flimsy, imo.
-
didnt know there was an iron heart version ,is it a faithfull repro ?
-
and yes the pb is not as robust as the buzz rickson ill agree with you there
-
Nothing we do is a faithful repro, we interpret and make more relevant for today (and biker) use….

Cheers old chap. In the end I had the chance to compare the Buzz and Pike Brothers ones side by side at American Classics. I found the lining on the Pike Brothers to be a bit too coarse and the fit on both the Buzz/Pike didn't quite work on me.
Thankfully I went for the IH one which was far superior in every way, particularly with regards to the lining and cut. The only thing that I will say is that the IH one has quite long arms (for bike riding purposes I know).
Also, totally forgot to post before but I did ask my mate regarding Pointer brand clothing and sadly they don't stock it
-
well now i have three choices to choose from that will take me about a year to decide then
-
I'm sure the IH version is every bit as nice, but I have the BR N1 and it is great. It all depends on how traditional you want to stay to the classic N1. Either way you win.
-
Real Mc Coys are a fourth Option. I like the US Navy stencil prints on those. Just to add a few more options. That said, I love my IH and think it's worth every penny.
-
oh god dont give me any more choices i will never be able to decide

I have a pair of 1958 roamer pants (15oz raw selvage) 34x36 up for sale or trade, as well as the elephant skin vest in L… just in case anybody is interested.
-
Nice vest, what kind of lining?

Wool. If its anything like their deck jacket though, i found that lining to be really bloody itchy/uncomfortable around the neck.
Looks decent though. Saw something similar in the rmc store the other day which was tempting

Agreed … the lining is very cheap / itchy wool - same like the deck jackets.
I bought their first deck jacket many years ago ... and now the IH-09.
What a difference! ... double in price - but 5 times better in comfort, look, etc.Good to know. Didn't know about the lining either.
