Thank you, still excited to be the luckiest guy.
It's quite a bit warmer than the lined waxed canvas one; the lighter version retains almost no warmth, it's more a shell jacket that is better for bad weather, whereas the wool one with the insulation is actually warm and retains heat. I would not stand outside in freezing cold in it from prolonged periods but if your layering game is good and you have a liner, like the IHJ-118 or an insulated vest, something slim like the Carhartt WIP classic vest, then you're good to go even when it's really cold in my experience (really cold for me would be around 0°C, below that is exclusively down jacket time because being cold sucks).
The collar on the flyers club jacket also really makes a difference and did I already mention how soft it is? I know I keep going on about it, but it's really that good.

I noticed some of the quilting stitching coming undone in my flyers club jacket and upon closer inspection found the lining is pulling out at the join to the arms. Honestly, not super happy about that so I’ve raised it with Dehen.
I have a number of pieces from them, never had an issue with their stuff but this one didn’t work out as well.
I’m note sure how one repairs this.
-
@BalticBob oh man. That does suck. Please let us know how Dehen handles the issue. Hopefully they find a way to make it right for you. If I recall you’re in Europe somewhere, correct?
-
Yes I’ll keep you posted. I hope they have some good news for me!
Yeah, I’m based in Germany.
-
@BalticBob at this price point, I’m certain they will want to make it right .

@Brandrea @Mizmazzle They were great, I emailed them and they spoke to their production and came back to me today with a shipping label and asked me to send it back to them to repair.
Hats off to Dehen, they did good. Their stuff is great and I'm happy to see they also fix defects without a question.
-
@BalticBob That's amazing! Especially that they covered the shipping too! Glad to hear they handled things so well.
-
@BalticBob great to hear Bob and thank you for sharing this experience
-
@BalticBob Fantastic outcome. I hope you get it back soon!

Guys, let's be real for a moment. Have you seen the Sashiko Weekender jacket Dehen just released? How is one to resist? Can someone talk me out of this?

@BalticBob resistance is futile
-
Thanks for the reality check!
-
@BalticBob the resistance was short lived
-
@AdamJ so dope man, that is a beautiful jacket.
-
@AdamJ I didn‘t even last to the end of the day I wrote about this jacket…
-
Better shots than on the Dehen product page @AdamJ @BalticBob

@AdamJ @BalticBob thats a fantastic looking jacket. How is the sizing? Unlike IH, Dehen don’t give a comprehensive size guide. In particular I would be interested in your experience of the sleeve length. Cheers
