Not sure what kind of fit you’re looking for, but that looks perfect to my eye [mention]Skelly [/mention]

Hey guys…I am fairly new to Iron Heart but have amassed a nice little collection in the last few months. I have been on the fence about the N1 Deck Jacket for a few weeks because I couldn't decide on the sizing. I don't tend to layer under heavy jackets and prefer a slimmer fit. I am 5'10" around 168 lbs and wear a Size L UHF western.
I reached out for advice and both IH customer service and TJ at the Shop recommended sizing down to the Medium. I noticed the measurements for the Olive version tend to be (ever so slightly) roomier and that was my preferred color, so I was able to find the jacket in stock at Rivet & Hide and finally pulled the trigger. 48 hours after placing the order the jacket was delivered to my house in the US on a Saturday morning no less and in a word it is BRILLIANT.
This is not only my favorite piece of Iron Heart gear but just may be the nicest piece of clothing I have ever owned. Everything is impeccable. The fit is perfect. The color is exactly what I was looking for and (living in Colorado) it is very very warm over just a T-Shirt and I do still have room to layer a thin flannel or sweatshirt. If anyone is on the fence...please don't hesitate...it is a true gem in the IH lineup! I will post some more fitment pics when my wife gets home:)

Looks and sounds exceptional! I don't have need for such a warm jacket with the current UK climate but should I ever move to somewhere much cooler, this would be at the top of my To Buy list.
Enjoy it

Giles, I tried one of these one the other day and loved the design, fabric, color, and details. But I passed because I thought the sleeves were long. But it sounds like this is intended in the design. Is this because they tend to ride a little higher with use or because longer sleeves are useful for certain activities, like riding a motorcycle. Not questioning, just interested in learning something, thanks.
Also, regarding sizing, I typically wear an XL in IH shirts, but the XL N-1 seemed big. Is it common to size down in this or other IH jackets? Sorry for the newb questions.

YMMV, I go with large UHFs but picked this up in a medium. But that's just to wear over a T shirt or thermal. If I wanted to layer, I would have taken my UHF size.

The sleeves on most things IH are long. This is so that when you are riding a motorcycle the arms do not ride up too far, it is intentional. With the deck jackets, the storm cuff tends to stop the cuff from falling too far down the hand if you are short-armed.
Some jackets run large some small, there is no golden rule…..

Just got this lovely piece today. Curious how you guys think it fits. My partner said it’s too short but I think this is exactly how it should look, yeh? (Separately, I’ve got to say the quality of construction and material is simply outstanding.)
Solid fit. If you use the sleeve buttons to tighten the cuff it should set the sleeve slightly higher on your hands if you would prefer that. That’s what I do with mine.

I have a 8 or 10 year old n1 and it is the shit.I bought the vest after seeing the jacket.
@SteveD theres nothing wrong with that fit. Ive said it before & Ill do it again-wear a tee & the n1 and forget about it.
Unless you live on the steppes of Minnesota. stay warm this winter Minnesotans! -

Maybe this was posted or discussed, but thought it was interesting/cool to see Chris Hemsworth wearing the N1 in Extraction 2. Looks like Khaki version.

So it’s true what we were speculating
