IHM-48-KHA - 12oz Whipcord Lightweight N1 Deck Jacket - Khaki
-
I just noticed that in the “features” description, its says the YYK two way zipper will be lighter weight than the regular N1.
Can anyone elaborate on this and hopefully it will still be metal. One of the things I love most about my N1 is the butch looking zipper.
-
Per web pics, appears same but lighter weight

IHM-35-KHA

@Brandrea Just a quick and dirty pic of the two side by side. Lightweight on the left, 'regular' N1 on the right:
Zips are very similar in shape with the lightweight zip just being a little smaller in size. However i would say that this is just the sample! Things may change in production
-
@Ross Thanks for that detail and side by side.
I’m glad to see it’s the same design aesthetic. If I had my way it’d be the same size, just in keeping with the overbuilt ethos of the N1.
-
I´m already curious about the sizing. Looking forward to when they drop
It will be an amazing all-year-round jacket. -
-
@RobeOfTheMagi see here. Due to the unpredictable nature of production and delivery there is no release schedule for the seasonal collections anymore
-
Thanks for the info @Tago-Mago!
-
Is this significantly less warm than the A2?

@jimcord I walked around with the sample on for a bit over a tee and this is definitely a California coast jacket, will do the trick most of the year up here in Santa Barbara.
@RobeOfTheMagi best info I can find at the moment as @TENDREL is one of the retailers.

Ooof, that is so subjective, and I havent worn the Diet N1 as the only sample is a Large and im an XXL, but I wouldnt personally wear a full fat N1 in temps of 10C / 50F or above. I can see this one working up to maybe 15-20C over a tee, depending on the person
…and this from Alex

Thanks so much @goosehd!

Coincidentally, I was handling these jackets yesterday. The A2 is significantly heavier than the diet-N1 (liking that nickname!). A2 is a proper winter jacket, where as I can see the IHM-48 being a year round layering piece.
The devil is in the detail..
-
@AdamJ happy to hear this! I have the a2 and for Vancouver it's a wear on cold days kind of jacket, the n1 is too warm for me in our climate as much as I love it id barely ever get to wear it. Need something for between cold a2 days and the more mild UHF or type 3 only days though, sounds just about right for that!
-
It sounds like the perfect jacket for shoulder seasons here, but I already knew that.
Dear Santa …I’ve been mostly good this year. I’d love to see this drop soon. Thank you, Brian.

Bump! This or the secret color way I hope will be my 2025 IH purchase

Apologies for the duplicated content on IHV-51-BRN, but it’s a similar experience.
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 the staff were super helpful. I am an L in the N1 so I figured the same here. L was too snug, even over just a tee shirt, so the XL (larger of my L/XL range) is perfect. I loved the look of this piece in the preview, but hadn’t really earmarked to buy. But seeing it in person, damn is this going to be a useful and heavily worn jacket. It’s a great weight, and will be the one you grab without having to think. For the guys living in warmer climates yearning for an N1, I think you’ll be very happy. And for me who doesn’t live in a warm climate.. I think it’s awesome.
Hotel room is too chaotic and small for a fit pic!

@americanathreads Double post is warranted and appreciated. Thanks for sharing your impressions and can’t wait to see them released here.
️. Is there any more or less concrete speculation on the time of release?
