IHM-10 - N1 Deck Jacket - 2015 Edition

[Chaintitch]

@Giles:

I'm 42 and wear an L.

(Naturally G.  Only trying to ascertain how snug a L will be for me, versus how much I will be swimming in an XL, based on how this bad boy is constructed.)

Are this year's modifications noticeable to the expert (or layperson) wearer?

This has to be one of the more impressive items out of the shop for the last few seasons. The essential winter jacket IMO [emoji108]

I'd go XL…...The only real change is the length of the alpaca pile.....

Thank you, Sir.

Are you telling @Winchy to put a sock in it?

[rocket]

no….

[Iron swan]

Wow, those went fast.
Will there be any more?

[Giles]

No more will be made.  We have to commit numbers when we start to weave the fabric.  So in Spring, we have to guess then what demand will be like.  We got it hopelessly wrong this year, but in our defence, we did have to put some IHM-09 on sale to shift them, so we did think that maybe Deck Jackets had had their day…..

Well, the more common sizes allways fly of the shelf like crazy. What went to sale where the ones for the "verticaly challenged" people, as far as I remember. So, simply make more L and XL stuff and less of the uncommon sizes. This applies to shirts as well.

Yeah yeah, I know, if it would be that easy to estimate. => Insert Giles with crystal orb picture here.

Dead right … praise the lord!

Just bought my first Iron Heart item, the Deck Jacket, and I am well pleased with the quality. I am actually looking forward to some coler weather to wear it out and about. One small question (I hope this doesn't sound stupid) what are the two small studs for on the inside of the jacket either side of the zip at the bottom?

[Giles]

You ca thread a drawstring through them if you so wish….

[zatenm]

^ @Giles any properly chunky drawstring supplier you would recommend? I might be interested in fitting one on my jacket….

[footandmaff]

My jacket arrived yesterday and I'm really happy with it. I was a bit worried that it might be a touch too big, but any concerns disappeared once I tried it on. I can see I'm going to get plenty of wear out of it over the coming years.

A few fit pics.
