IHM-14 - N1 Deck Jacket 2016 Version, Brown, Khaki and Black

Is the wool for durability?
-
Certain repro jackets, at a similar price point, claim double-faced, 100% alpaca, to include the sleeves - so I supposed the wool was for toughness/strength/durability! But I'm just a design geek, and certainly no expert…

We're not a repro company. Haraki updates designs to work better for todays requirements. Alpaca in the sleeves is a nightmare from a "binding" point of view…...

Also the silky texture of the quilt lining in the sleeves creates less friction and helps the arms of my shirts/sweaters/hoodies/etc stay in place when I am sliding my arms through. This for me is a functional plus, especially during winter months when I am layered up.

There were a few comments from back in the day about the heavy fleece lined sleeves on the IHJ-06.
People said how sweaty the inside of their elbows got, especially of wearing a heavy shirt with it. The quilted lining not only feels great, it helps keep mobility a priority and helps to fight the sweaty elbow syndrome while keeping your core (torso) warm. Smart adjustment to the classic pattern if you ask me.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

If memory serves, the ihj-06 had a "coating" on the inside of the cordura. I guess this made it more wind and water resistant, but it also keeps all the sweat in too. I have to wash it inside out (which ain't easy) often. I don't think the fleece had as much to do with the sweating as the (silicone??) coating.

@adam313 - that would make sense.

man, I forgot about the 6. What a crazy jacket.

My first non ski (proper winter) jacket. This thing is built like a tank…

I go large for most IH shirts and this Medium jacket fits just right–they are sized generously and Id be swimming in a Large. I tend to be between Giles and Sam in sizing. Hope that helps @JDelage

@JDelage I am a XXL in IH shirts and I went for a XXL in this jacket. As I am tall, the XXL gives me the sleeve/body length I need. For me it is definitely not a fitted look but it doesn't look baggy either. I can wear heavy shirts and sweaters under for the winter and still have a good range of motion, which is why I bought this one.
