I'll do some pics in the morning. The N1 I got was the William Gibson collab so there is no overt mil labelling, just all black.

Do you know the history of the William Gibson hook up? He featured an MA1 in his novel Pattern Recognition. I am a pure WG fanboi so this is pressing all the right buttons.

[hectic]

N.B.: The N1 fit is TTS really, quite a bulky construction with the wool lining - you def know you are wearing it.

WG fanboi

Likewise. AND I just contacted somebody about an MA-1 (shorter version) in my size…I think the Tory is gonna wait another month.  Hopefully, I'm not too late at that point...

cheers

I'm a regular 42 but thinking of going up the size for the lining/material aspects

look forward to the pic

[Beatle]

I wouldn't size up. They actually take the lining and everything into consideration when making the jacket.

[Geo]

advice duly taken

thanks for the heads up

[hectic]

I agree with Beats.

Here are few pics of the N1, apologies for the woeful quality but I had to revert to my old Android and I have still to buy a new camera:

This is the only visible labelling:

This is a 44 and I am 6'4" and approx 17 stone (106 kilos):

Bah hectic, that is fucking sweet!

[hectic]

Thanks man, on balance I am glad that I went for this and not the Mister Freedom (not least the MF price tag!)

anyone ever ordered something from the BR europe site?

I have ordered from them on a few occasions. Its run by eastman who make the leather jackets.
No problem with them.

[Simon]

I've ordered from them, no issues at all, super quick delivery, all fine.

Anybody from the states order from these guys?  I am wondering if there were any duties that you had to pay for your purchase.
