IHM-48-KHA - 12oz Whipcord Lightweight N1 Deck Jacket - Khaki

[Ross]

@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

[Brandrea]

@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.

This is quite definitely my 2025 IH purchase ️. Is there any more or less concrete speculation on the time of release?

[Tago Mago]

@RobeOfTheMagi see here. Due to the unpredictable nature of production and delivery there is no release schedule for the seasonal collections anymore

[RobeOfTheMagi]

Thanks for the info @Tago-Mago!

[RobeOfTheMagi]

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!

[Brandrea]

Every time time thread gets bumped I get my hopes up lol

Waiting patiently.

@Brandrea same.

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.

@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!

@AdamJ

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.

@Ross Would love to see pics of the jacket interior. Is it lined with a broad cloth?

[3lli0t]

@americanathreads happy for an update!

What size are you in UHF?
