Freewheelers and Co.

Took me a couple of days to get back to this one. Turns out the labels on both shirts are completely faded out, so I can't be 100% certain on the size. I am pretty sure they're Large, though. As I said, I'm pretty consistently an XL in Iron Heart shirts.
Fit on both is slim-ish, a bit more so than Iron Heart, even the westerns. Construction quality is very good, as is the fabric. My only minimal quibble is that the buttons are a bit flimsy feeling. Perfectly functional, and I've had no problems with them at all, but they feel underwhelming.

Didn't end up ordering the Neal Cassidy shirt - but the good news is I just pulled the trigger on a Freewheelers deck jacket…....not from Japan, but in good used condition off Ebay........fingers crossed the damn thing fits! Of course its summer here, but I just couldn't help myself. It mean my just too small RMC deck jacket will be offered for sale soon.
Anybody have any experience with Freewheelers deck jackets? The one I have ordered is a civilian model with D pockets and wool collar.

^ Jacket looks impressive. Post some inside & out along with some more detailed pictures if possible . . . .

Very impressive. All alpaca + Primaloft Gold… The color is a lot duller than on the pics.
The Japanese retailers have better detailed pics to be honest, see for example:

That jacket is awesome @JDelage did you order it from Japan?

Finally picked up the Flight Deck Crew Coat after a 4 week holiday with UK Customs - the wait was agonising - and a mahoosive charge for import duty and VAT ??? First impressions: this is almost too warm

Their outerwear is second to none. Great fit.

Super cool jacket. I've lusted for it myself but decided it was too much for me. I got its little brother though.
The 'little brother' Ground Crew Jacket is, to me, a work of art!

What an awesome coat! Great score. How did you size compared to IH?

@Dishelveled I went with a size 40 and it is perfect. I have a Freewheelers N1 deck jacket in size 38, and it is very snug on me (and so am probably going to sell) and I also have an Iron Heart N1 Deck Jacket from 2015 in Medium, and that is also snug. I would say Freewheelers size 40 is comparable to IH large.
