HOUSTON's long-standing classic N-1 deck jacket. I made it into a hooded coat. Although it is military wear, it is a masterpiece that is widely loved by not only military fans, but also American casual fans and bikers, due to its rugged design similar to work wear, as well as its high durability and design.
The front is made of Houston's original heavy picket material, which is thick and sturdy. The inside uses a soft and comfortable acrylic boa with excellent heat retention. This boa collar is easier to maintain than natural leather such as alpaca. The hood has a drawcord and the top button can be closed to keep you warm all the way down to your neck. The pockets have flaps so you don't have to worry about dropping things.
The front has a unique design with a thick and sturdy wind flap on top of a sturdy zipper (*). Also, the size of the zipper and the button for securing the wind flap are large. This design makes it easy to open and close even while wearing gloves. *Houston's N-1 deck jacket uses zippers made by IDEAL.
Ventilation under the armpits Not only does it have wind and cold protection functions, but it also functions as work wear. There are ventilation holes (4 holes) under both armpits to prevent stuffiness during work.The inside of the cuffs is equipped with ribs that prevent cold air from entering and are structured to fit your arms. . The inside of the hem has a drawcord to prevent cold air from coming in from below.
Japan experienced an unprecedented military boom in the 1980s and 1990s, and at that time, flight jackets were mainly popular, and the N-1 deck jacket actually did not attract much attention. However, as time has passed, its popularity has gradually increased, and in recent years it has become the most popular military outerwear item. Nowadays, it has become an indispensable part of winter military wear.
*Kikuchi's impressions For my body type (173 cm 64 kg), I wear a T-shirt and a size 38 (M). Even if you wear a thick sweatshirt or G-jean as an inner layer, you can wear it with a size 38(M). It is an item that will be useful until the middle of winter if you wear it from the time when it gets a little cold.
