IHM-04 - Alpaca Lined N1 Deck Jacket - Olive, Black and Navy

[superfuzz]

The long arms are giving me pause.

I ordered a black large.  After checking the forecast for this weekend, I should have ordered an XXL to layer on top of it.

Ahh, another Minneapolitan, killer.  Yeah we're fuct this coming week if the weatherman can be trusted.

@SauceBoss706:

Any chance there will be restocks of olive in size medium?

The reason that there is no "tell me when back in stock" hyperlink on the web page is that there is no chance I am afraid….

[Cutlasshound]

In the absence of the green just got the black!

Hope the arms dont make me look like even more of a throwback to the caveman era…. fingers crossed!

didn't even have my eye on these, but boy do i want one.

[wolfblood]

goddamn, I love the stick work behind the collar, this one is truly inspired!

G, for the same tag size, these look slimmer fitting than the previous iteration. Am I correct in this assumption?

imo yes you are! also had that feeling…

Cheers Finn! Really interseted in the Navy Deck but bulky jackets do not suit my skinny frame  :-\  Hopefully this one is different..

[mclaincausey]

Decks are the perfect insulated jackets for skinny people. They emerged after all during an era when people were much trimmer. While this isn't a repro, it doesn't deviate radically from the spirit of those 1940s-50s designs.

Copped in Navy.
Looking forward to it!

I have no IHM-03 here to compare it with, but looking at the measurements of both

http://www.ironheart.co.uk/extinct/ihm-03.html

The measurements are pretty similar….

[zatenm]

Shoulders and Opening look noticeably smaller on Medium - mind you, a very encouraging sign for me…
So is mclaincausey's comment, thanks! Feck it, will order it and see for myself  ::) I need this beast, hopefully it'll work out!

Just received mine, couldn't be happier will sort out some fit pics tomorrow.

Interestingly, having tried on the very first IH deck jacket a couple of years ago, this feels a much better fit on me, and I prefer this colour too.

Will be waterproofing with Nikwax in the next week or so, and then this will become my daily jacket

[zatenm]

Congrats tgm! Can't wait for my own blue bag to reach
If you don't mind me asking, how are you planning to wax it? I want to wax mine too but I've never done that before…

This is a very nice fine deck jacket, wow IH

[tmg]

Will be using Nikwax Cotton Proof to add a degree of resistance to rain - if you check the last couple of pages of the IHM-03 thread you'll find the details

[Cutlasshound]

Just received mine yesterday in black!

wife was not pleased as apparently "we dont have the space for another bloody jacket".

Oh Well!!!!

Its glorious and is here to stay!

So much nicer than both the Buzz Rickson and Pike Brothers iterations.  The lining was horrible in the Pike Brothers and the BR one made me look like the fucking Michelin Man.

fit Pics of the IH to follow…....

My need to wax mine too!
