@jimcord
Ha! Great minds and such!Congrats on the accomplishment! I did the drug as well. I do it in cycles. Usually about 30 days on, and 6-12 months off. I really just use it to help me reprogram my thinking around food from time to time.
My mentality for clothing (and food) is “I care about me, so you must as well.” That’s why IH clicked with me.

Congratulations to both of us for our continued journey, may we both continue on with happiness and success! And to others on their journey, I hope for nothing but health and happiness to them as well! -
@Gavin666 for me I know the cost of the item is part of it. Alpaca wool/sheep is a premium material so it helps offset the cost in my brain at least lol. I've never been to picky on this but having fallen in love with the N1 with wool I'm wondering if I'm spoiled now. This is a cool piece so I may have to test it out.

@CosmoSix5 No, the tanker jacket and lightweight N1 samples were shorter than H san would like, so will be tweaked
-
Like a lot, but wonder about the use-case for me. Anything N1 needs reasonably cold weather, and in DK this usually goes with wet weather as well. I suspect this is more for you guys with more continental climate, blessed with dry and cold winters!
-
I really liked this in FW vid and it’s just grown on me since. It does look a bit short on the model so I get @CosmoSix5 ’s question. Maybe he’s wearing a longish sweater underneath? In any case, such nice vest and no need to worry about sleeve length this time around

@Alex said in IHV-51-BRN - 12oz Duck N1 Deck Vest - Brown:
@jimcord yeah, i think we will look at that for future collections. A lot of the retailer love Adam mentioned yday was for the fabric rather than the overall item (sorry to debunk @ARNC 's theory) as they often struggle with N1 Vests. Let's see how FW25 goes, and you may see a return in a future season
I'll be letting my wife know i made the sacrifice of buying this item for the greater good of the material seeing the light of day once more

Lol woke up this morning and I had been dreaming g that I had a pair of IH duck cloth pants made from this brown/black material and they were so cool! So it begs the question, have you guys experimented with pants with this cloth yet? if so, I want first dibs on them, size 34!:)

I just discovered this thread, apparently I'm a few months late. I grew up wearing a synthetic sherpa lined Levi's denim jacket for many winters, so the synthetic lining doesn't bother me at all. If anything, I find the alpaca lining in my N1 to be so warm that it limits how much I can wear it. We rarely get down below the 20s and 30s here in Oregon.
The depth of color you've achieved with this fabric is really something special, and I agree with others in saying that as cool as this vest is, I would get more use out of a Type 3, a Western shirt/CPO, or a sherpa lined Type 3 with the same fabric and lining. I bought the IHJ-526-SL, but sadly the fit didn't work out for me on that batch. This fabric on a sherpa lined jacket would be epic! Or a western CPO with a dark brown corduroy collar......

This reminds me of one of my all time favorite IH vests, the Boa Vest. I am hoping this piece is long enough, sadly the Boa wasnt

The measurements won’t differ wildly from the other Iron Heart N1 vests, so that should give you a decent idea. I don’t feel like they are short at all, but it all depends on one’s build of course.

I’m in Tokyo on a Japan honeymoon trip and paid a visit to the Hachioji store on Friday. It was a great visit and loved chatting with the staff who were very helpful. I was really hoping this piece would be there by my visit… and it had arrived that morning. It’s beautiful - maybe a hair lighter (weight) than the images suggested, but a great piece.
I am an L in the N1 so I figured the same here. L was too snug to be used to layer, so the XL (larger of my L/XL range) is perfect. Going to be a super useful piece and is really great in person! Hope the sizing info can help you guys eyeing this piece.
Hotel room is too chaotic and small for a fit pic.

That brown fabric is great - I love the khaki Diet N1 but brown would edge it (if it existed).
