            @Rick62 wool like the rest of the jacket. Full description in first post.

              @IrishHeart Thanks! I have read the full description, but it also says that the lining makes the jacket easy to take off and put on and that is usually stated if it has a satin lining. This and the lack of a photo of the inside sleeve left my curiosity unsatisfied.

                @Rick62 wool throughout, we'll add an inside out image to both jackets

                  @Rick62 understood. Always worth double checking when making a big investment in any item of clothing. It looks a great jacket so hope it meets your expectations.

                    I didn't want to buy one, since a winterjacket without the collar of the N1 seemed unreasonable to me, but damn it, I just ordered the last large from Statement Store Berlin.

                    I'm so weak.

                      The jacket arrived today and here are my thoughts.

                      I took size L, same size as my N1 jackets. It fits considerably less tight then my N1, which is a good thing.

                      What irritates me is the construction of the sleeves and the lining. I somehow have the feeling that I have excess material on the inside of my upper arm, just below the armpit. The is nothing there, but it somehow feels like it. After a few minutes of wear I hardly notice it anymore and expect it to go away with time.

                      To be hones I wasn't shure if I should keep it, but my wife said "Don't send it back, it looks good and you will regret it later" and who am I do act against her advice. 🙂

                      EDIT: Why is there no internal pocket? The chestpocket alone is to small for a cellphone or passport, an internal pocket would have been a nice quality of life feature.

                      The collar, well, the collar lacks fluffy alpaca wool, but it would be just another N1 if it wouldn't, I guess. Time to buy a scarf again.

                          Any chance someone can provide chest pocket dimensions?

                            @Marvo I happened to be close to mine and a tape measure when I saw this (and was curious). Mine is 5 3/8 in wide by 5 3/4 high (external dimensions of pocket itself, not including flap).

                              @Marvo slightly too short for larger phones unfortunately (and no inside pocket). My Pixel 7 pro sticks out a good 2cm or so...

                                @Tobi Thanks, I’m still with the iphone 7, which would fit within but the flap may not do up.

                                  @ARNC Thanks, exactly what I needed, a regular bifold (say 4x3 1/4) wallet fits. It’d be very unlike IH to make a useless pocket.

                                    I’m on the fence, really because I don’t need one…but…here I am. I prefer a looser fit in these kind of jackets. I’m usually XL in UHF’s, mainly for the chest & armpit space as well as arm length but as I wear say, 31 in the 634 & 888’s, there’s plenty of UHF fabric around the waist. I’m mostly L in IH denim jackets though, as they fit snug over a UHF. I thought an M in an indigo N1 would fit, as it seemed on paper it would, but it looked silly on me & so tight at the armpits so actually settled on an XL because it simply allowed more movement & layering & the waist buttons pull it in. IH shoulders could always be a couple cm wider for my liking (however, a couple of my denims are perfect). The N1 arms might seem long at first but they’re a good length, helped by the inner cuff. If there is more armpit space on the A2, I’m an L for sure. Just sayin’, hope that helps.

                                    Update. I’m now an owner of a large, size is snug & just right over an XL uhf (I’m 6’, 78kg, 43’ chest). Anything bulkier underneath & the arms would feel short on me. I do the waist adjusters up tight. It’s slightly less bulky/cozy than the n1, so n1 if I want warmer. Iphone 7 fits in chest pocket with flap closed. Highly recommended, can’t go wrong really but it helps to get the size right.

                                        Can anyone that own this jacket help me with some things. Would you consider this a winter or more a fall / transitional jacket? If you own the IH n1 Deck Jacket as well, which is quite a heavy big jacket, is this equally big/heavy or more light weight?

                                          @Kaare I have both and wear both during the colder months. Even in the UK, the season can be extended by varying the layers underneath, so I don’t think it’s just for midwinter, but it is a warm jacket. The A2 is a bit shorter and roomier and possibly gives more freedom of movement (as the lining is flat, not fluffy like the N1).

                                          Only you know how/when/where you would wear it but if you end up getting one I’m sure you’ll find a use for it!

                                            I own both and would say both are winter jackets. The A2 did well in temperatures down to -6° C with an UHF or swaetshirt underneath. It offers more room then my N1 and is a bit more comfortable to wear for me right now.

                                            The upsides of the N1 are the collar (no need for a scarf) and the interior pockets, which I miss dearly in the A2.

                                            Both are great jackets.
