IHM-03 - Whipcord N1 Deck Jacket (Black & Olive)

[mclaincausey]

Any thoughts on whipcord versus grosgrain for deck jackets in terms of insulating, wind and water resistance?

[Giles]

I think that the term grosgrain as applied to a deck jacket is incorrect.  Grosgrain has ridges that run perpendicular to the warp.  All the deck jackets I have seen have the ridges running at a steep angle, but generally in the direction of the warp (i.e. whipcord)….

[mclaincausey]

Interesting; mccoys seem to run vertically instead of at an angle but I suppose they could have reoriented the fabric to achieve that.

I like that Haraki removed the draw cord.

Just popped an Olive XL back into stock and decided to discount the remaining 4 by 30%…..

G, do you know if the new run has any changes (hoping in length) besides the addition of navy to the colour list?

[Giles]

Lined in Alpaca, that is the only difference I know of…

Be great if they had slightly smaller sleeves too! You've gotta have gorilla arms to fit em at present! Bummer! They are an exceptionally fine piece!

Hi, i'am confused about sizing.
For example i am wearing this shirt http://tiny.cc/2g2i2w in L. It is 22" PtP and fits little bit tight, 23" fits perfect. Will N1 Deck Jacket in XL fit me? Thank you for your answers.

[Giles]

Yes

[Giles]

M

I'm looking for some sizing advice on this jacket. I wear an XL in IHSH-81 and 72, and a L in IHSH-73. I'm ~ 6'2" and usually target a 44" chest in shirts. Do I go with a L or an XL with this jacket? Thanks!

[zhivago]

If it was me, I'd go xx for layering but def no less than xl

[CityPickin]

Thanks zhivago. I think I'll try XL and see what happens.

Are the arms on these massive?

Was having a look at the measurements in preparation for the new ones dropping…. and the arms seem like they could outwit my stumpy claws!

[Morose_Penguin]

Going by the sizing and the way that IH measures and the photos of the "model" it looks that they are a touch longer than the other jackets… But it looks like you could cuff them easily enough.

[Cutlasshound]

Cheers old chap greatly appreciated!

would it be at all possible for a tailor to shorten the arms on the 2013 version? thinking it might be difficult wih the storm cuff and lining. but what do i know..

[Giles]

Possible but difficult….
