IHM-35-BRN - Whipcord N1 Deck Jacket - Brown
-
What does this jacket feel like when you are wearing it? Does it feel heavy like you’re wearing a winter jacket? Does it restrict your movement? Do you think it would make a good hiking jacket, or is it too warm?
-
What size is recommended for someone who is 179cm tall and about 78kg? My IH shirt size is between 40 and 42.

@Denman-John I wore the khaki version of this a lot last winter and have recently sold it on to buy this brown version. It does indeed feel very heavy and maybe even a little restrictive with its bulk so very much a winter jacket but maybe not so great for hiking when you need to be moving fast. The wind proof lining and the alpaca are great for regulating body temp etc but I don’t think I’d be packing it on a hiking trip. It is absolutely awesome though, perhaps my favourite IH piece to date.

@SKT Up until a few weeks ago I was wearing XXL for almost everything IH but started to get freaked out about washing my flannels and possibly shrinking them so I sold them on and re-purchased a couple in XXXL. So at the minute I’m XXL in denim shirts, XXXL in UHF’s and I went with XXL for this deck jacket. Could have maybe squeezed into an XL but I have room to layer now and love how it fits. The sleeves seem around an inch shorter than the 2023 one I sold too which is great.
-
It’s amazing. Can’t get enough of the colour - it looks so tasty against denim. It’s a little more roomy than the previous one? Fits like an igloo and is as warm as you dream of being

@DeeDee85 Thank you very much for your reply! I REALLY love the looks of this jacket, but unfortunately have no need for it this year. I’m going to Nepal in just over a month and considered this knowing full well I should be going for layers while hiking/trekking. I’m hoping I can get another year out of my winter jacket then consider one of these for next year. Thanks again
-
@Denman-John no problem at all! It is far and away my favourite colour of the recent N1’s, much nicer to look at than the khaki for me. Can’t wait to hear about your trip to Nepal
-
I would say heavy and slightly restrictive are things I definetly associated with the deck jacket in a positive way. So perhaps not the best for hiking.
@RobeOfTheMagi One size down from your main IH shirt size is the best rule to go by initially.
-
@DeeDee85 yeah I'm loving this colour too.....I think the only way it could be improved upon was if the zipper was brass/gold
-
@Darth-fader that would be great!

Guys what is size L-Free ? I recently found a used jacket with this size tag . I don’t seem to see much info on this. When I Google it a garment comes up and when I click on it, that size is not an option. Is this an old tag? Or what does this mean lol L-Free
-
@caseyjonez The L is for Ladies, so Ladies - Free which is a one size Ladies size. Some times we do L-Small, L-medium.
L-Free and L-xxx are all smaller than XS.

@Graham dang it graham! Lol you just destroyed my dreams and saved me 400$ at the same time. I appreciate you man🫡

First post on the forum. I'm yet to own any Iron Heart but have fallen down the Amerikaji rabbit hole after visiting Japan earlier this year. Planning on picking up a UHF, CPO, some jeans and hopefully one of these bad boys when I return to Tokyo in early '26. Is the brown N-1 due for restock with this F/W drop?
-
@phoenixinflight Welcome to the forum! The brown N1 won't be restocking as part of FW25, no. You can view everything that's coming for FW25 here

@phoenixinflight No, it is not. An overview of the upcoming collection can be found here:
