IHM-48-KHA - 12oz Whipcord Lightweight N1 Deck Jacket - Khaki
-
Got an XL which is the same size I wear in the regular N1. Sizing should workout.
-
Anddddd got one! Requested longer than size chart sleeves, will see where i got in the measurement request queue but stoked either way!
-
Just placed an order for medium and asked for wider shoulders, hopefully the sizing will work out!
-
Ordered! Asked for longest body and longest sleeves with guidance on ideally what I’m looking for. Thanks in advance!!!
STOKED!!!
-
@Brandrea congratulations. I love the jacket, but unfortunately the sleeve length wouldn’t work for me. Very envious!
-
@IrishHeart Fingers are crossed that it works for me. Seeing it on some of the staff here gave me some confidence it will!
-
Still have a few XL’s available here - https://brooklynclothing.com/collections/new-arrivals/products/ihm-48-kha-12oz-whipcord-lightweight-n1-deck-jacket-khaki?variant=42663488487491

Just a clarification. For washing it says gentle 40 degrees … but the lining is in ventile … I thought this was dry cleaning only ? Ventile and washing machine doesn’t work I think. Thank you.
Yes it does. Ventile is just cotton, it will not screw it up, but over time may reduce its waterproofness.
Ventile was developed to allow pilots who had to bail into the north Atlantic, to last a little longer. I don't suppose the convoy ships had a dry cleaning service on offer...

If I understand correctly, this pertains to the UK originated, currently Swiss/Austrian ( Stotz & Co. AG)made Ventile version. Various treatments are applied to Ventile it depends on the manufacturer. The Japanese versions of ventile may be different but it’s harder to research. -
I just saw the email for this release and was able to track one down on Rivet & Hide (my favorite IH retailer) in size Large! At first, the sleeves appear a tad short but everything else is spot on with my Iron Heart A1 from last fall so I think I am good to go...very excited!

Up until a couple of years ago, most Royal Navy ships had a “Chinese laundry” I can’t remember serving on one that had a dry cleaning service… and our “ boats” didn’t have a laundry as such
I believe the laundry service is now Nepalese… still no dry cleaning 🫡

I feel sad for my other jackets this winter. Damn this jacket is good. You guys killed it

@northsouthdenimguy I see you popped the collar. Does it sit flat well, couldn't tell on some of the other photos.
-
Yes, it sits pretty flat. I don’t know…I just like popping the collar, drives my wife crazy maybe that’s why I like it???
