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).

@americanathreads Definitely a little jealous you got your hands on this already. Beautiful piece.

Yea, I’m getting pumped for this.

[americanathreads]

@datblonddood yeah I got very, very lucky!

@americanathreads Awesome! My Mom was just in Tokyo as well. Please share some fit pics when you have the opportunity.

@Danimal506 You should have got her to snag you one.

[Danimal506]

@Mister_Brue I know right!? She’s on a cruise around Japan and on a limited schedule. Trust me, I asked if IH Japan would fit her schedule

@Danimal506 ask and you shall receive brother too late to send your mom in an uber to the store?

How's the "not wool" feel? That's been my hesitation with this one. Looks great! Is that an RGT Cruiser?

[Chibs]

Does the collar stay popped without using the top button?

[americanathreads]

@CosmoSix5 feels totally fine to me - it’s pretty soft. Doesn’t have any scratchy feel to it, and is somewhat lighter weight than it appears.

Yes it’s a cruiser! Getting some travel fades in

[americanathreads]

@Chibs will try remember to check for you later today.

[Chibs]

@americanathreads thx! That’s one feature I like about my oiled N1. Hopefully it carries over to this vest.

[Danimal506]

@americanathreads Awesome! That looks really good dude. Thanks for sharing more pics. This over a long sleeve shirt may be perfect for Texas winters.
