PIKE BROTHERS
-
Does anyone have any experience of the fit/quality of the pike brothers deck jacket?
.
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.
