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

[ruben]

Material wise, but maybe rough is the wrong word - it's just a tad prickly for me, but I have a wet-shaved head so maybe that isn't helping as my bonce is completely exposed.

ah, lets hope it softens with some wear then - or that you at least get used to it

3 grade Celsius, I wore the jacket with just an IH tee, open not closed, it was great

Hey I'm new here and never owned anything from Iron Heart.  I love this jacket after I tried the N1 from Orvis but it was baggy as hell.  I checked out the sizing but unsure if I should go with a S or M.  I am 5 '7"  155 lbs with an athletic build.  After reading this whole thread it sounds like a great fit.  Does it run on the slimmer side?  Thanks for any feedback before I order.

@Giles:

We have one Navy XL inbound.  Drop us a note if you "need" it…..

I have sent you an email on the off chance this is still available!

[Giles]

I think it has already gone.  I will check when I am in the office tomorrow.  G

Obviously everyone is different and tbh I haven't looked at the measurements, but I think you would be a small in most iron heart things. They run decently large.

I am also 5"7 but weigh in at around 168lbs and the medium fit's me just about perfectly. Small would never have worked but I am relatively quite big on the shoulders.

That's with just a T on underneath.

loving this jacket and ive used it every day since i first got it, untreated so far. never thought id say this, but i like the long sleeves! and my arms are quite short too. i ride my bicycle a lot and if the sleeves were shorter id have exposed wrists, due to the heavy material and pretty narrow shoulders on this.

[Giles]

That is why the sleeves are long on many of the IH pieces, H wants them to be useable on a bike….

[Peter]

^something i personally appreciate on jackets, but not on shirts.

[JCMx800]

This jacket is so great, feels and look great.
I have worn the jacket at -10 degrees Celisus with a heavy, not ultra heavy flannel and it was so toasty!!!

I wanted to offer a public service announcement and make a plea for help as well. On a cold night, I put this jacket on after getting my hair cut earlier in the day. I immediately realized my mistake and took it off, but it was already too late. The hair worked its way into the lining and I've been unable to get it out. I tried the two most obvious solutions - a lint roller and a vacuum cleaner's upholstery attachment. Neither one seemed to make much improvement and I'm now the owner of a $600 hair shirt until I can figure a way to remedy this. Might anyone be able to offer a suggestion?

[mclaincausey]

Perhaps use static cling somehow? That sucks man sorry.

[Peter]

worn this jacket literally every day, up until now, and i freakin love it. there is one thing id change though, which is not particularly true to the original, but id really prefer a snap button on the throat latch. for easier temp control when biking with gloves etc..

[pillowPANTS]

Or use some tape wrapped around ur hand (sticky side out of course). Hopefully that helps, lil hairs are sooo fuckin annoying

[ohighyo]

just wash it to get it out.

[superfuzz]

What about using a blow dryer?

[pillowPANTS]

^blow dryer and hair brush
