I've come back full circle to looking at N-1s and am hovering around a Buzz Rickson. My only experiences trying on an N-1 were a couple times trying the Real McCoy's make in size 40 and 42. As I recall those ran a bit large comparative to the A2 of the time. I'm now a size 46 at least and having to guess at how that scales, and across brands.

Anyone with experience, how should I factor for the density of the lining in determining size? For the BR, for example, how thick is the nap? 1"?
I’ve had my RMC one since 2018, and the lining has maybe flattened out over time, but I would say it’s not terribly thick overall. Still warm however and has been my default nyc winter jacket when the temps really dip.

I have a size 42, which at the time was one size up from my US jacket size. I could have done a size 40 though. The shoulder area was a concern on me as the 40 felt tight. So I went with a 42 and the shoulder feels good, although I have some extra room in the chest it’s still the right size for me. If needed I can wear a crew sweatshirt underneath as well.

Sorry, this thread is solely for blue collar cos play. No one with actual tradeskills allowed.
I'll have to talk to my union rep about this. Expect our lawyers to contact you in the near future.

I recently got an Iron Heart N1. Love the thing in spite of the fact that they were worn by squids.
