Thanks guys.

x3. Soft, and itch-free.

I have heard people complain about Alpaca being itchy, but it is completely innocuous to me, and is devoid of lanolin and hypoallergenic. If Alpaca is itchy to you, you probably need to give up on woolen fabrics.

I don't own the IH N1 but I have the BR version. I've worn it with short sleeves without issues.

The IH one should be fine with short sleeves because the sleeves are quilt lined. My only concern was the neck and collar. Seems to be the only point where you might have contact with skin.

The wool is so nice
No itchiness, it feels really nice on your skin.

If anyone is looking to sell an Olive or Navy in a medium, let me know I may be in the market for one.

Has anyone waxed this jacket? Would something like Barbour Thornproof Dressing work just fine b/c of the interlining?  Or would I be risking the alpaca sopping up the wax?

I was thinking about trying the wax/heat gun method like Bandit did in his Mister Freedom N-1 waxing video.  I think it would darken up the 'light' black of the jacket nicely and give me the additional weather protection.

@hectic did a jacket, but I can't remember if it was an N1

[hectic]

Yeah, I waxed the N1, worked well - I used Barbour Thornproof. I did 2 coats, really soaked it up but the result was good. I used a heat gun and you will need to be careful with getting the heat blast too close as it will wisp up some smoke from the interlining.

PM me if you want to nerd it up with more details.

Will this one be back this year?

[Giles]

Yes…...

[ohighyo]

Shorter arms please

@Giles:

Yes…...

That means I have to fill out the e-mail form and pray that the jackets hit the store in a time I can fit one in financialy.

Hey G, if a xxxl navy happens to "appear" around there let me know. Long shot, i know. But some stuff has been known to "show up" in the past lol

If anybody wants to part with a L or Xl of any colour, PM me.

[JCMx800]

Don´t tell it your GF. In the event that your GF asks, tell her it´s mine

Thanks

Got a Navy L inboud (thanks to FurattoHeddo). Thanks for getting at me - now let's cross fingers that L will do it. As I can't do sports at the moment, I should fit in.

[JCMx800]

I think it will fit! Just a nice jacket in every color. Glad you did not get a black one
