IHM-35-KHA - Whipcord N1 Deck Jacket - Khaki

@Ross the first post was edited July 2025? Want to make sure that size chart in the first post is right before basing my order on it.

I'm 178cm tall weighing in at 84kgs and wear a Wabash Western shirt in a size Large

To my calcs i'm going to order a size Medium - does that sound right?

Noting I will mostly wear a t-shirt underneath as i'm from Melbourne and it rarely gets below 4 degrees celsius here.

@Apollona not certain why the OP is showing that edit date, I have just doubled checked and can confirm the current chart is correct (you can also look at the size chart on the linked product page).

While I'd never make a sizing recommendation based off height and weight alone and would recommend following our sizing guide and compare to a jacket you already own, as a very basic rule of thumb most of us go down a size from our "normal" shirt size, so a medium does follow that.

But please do double check your measurements as above.

Hey guys,
Looking to purchase this jacket this week. How does the size compare to the 526PJ Type III jacket? I have that in xxl with the fit according to the pictures.

Looking at the measurements it seems that XXXL fits my shoulders but then chest and sleeves seems too big...

@yoojimbo Take a moment to read a guide I made the other day for comparing items you own to items you want to buy. https://forum.ironheart.co.uk/topic/18231/sizing-how-to-user-perspective?_=1762595790204

Once you have everything in place, you may just answer that question yourself.

@goosehd Will do!

Measured two different kind of shirts and ended up with the below. Based on this it seems like XXL is correct?

@yoojimbo OUTSTANDING EFFORT!! On reviewing your numbers the XXL does look to be the best fit. I always like to focus on the key measurements that is a make or break (for me it’s chest and shoulders) and use those as the determining factor.

Overall I think that XXL would be a great fit.

Edit: One final check would be to measure your 526 as a comparison. I see in the pictures you have it over a flannel.

With that last bit of data you would have a great idea of your perfect size.

My 2 cents and a valuable learning experience for me: when I bought my A2 IHM-40 2 years ago, I looked at the measurements and ordered XXL against my own intuitive thoughts. I ended up exchanging for an XL. The lesson: always trust the measurements

If I'm a small in iron heart shirts such as IHSH33, and a very snug small in IHSH 293 OD, should I go small N1 or medium N1? The small chest at 22ish and medium chest at 23 ish look roomy, but this could be the interlining? Thanks

I bought the Lightweight N1 in medium and considered swapping it for a large… but of course that’s just not possible as they sell out so quickly… I decided to keep the Lightweight and get more use in spring and Autumn here in Copenhagen.

I am going to my local shop on Tuesday to try the Khaki N1, looking at the sizing of the lightweight vs the standard shows that the large is probably my best bet, but who knows… the arm length of each is quite different on each version..

@goosehd
Updated with another shirt and the 526.

Kinda realize that maybe I could have done XXXL in the 526. Still love the fit but will never be able to wash it

Anyways, still seems like XXL for the deck jacket.
