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

@Blanco I did it to.mine. A kit on Amazon for about 6-7 bucks and a little patience. If I can do it anyone can

I’d really like to hear more about how to size these. I’m looking at getting the navy or the black version but I’m going back and forth between M and L. I’m usually a L in shirts but sometimes M. What’s your experience?

[CosmoSix5]

I sized up as I wear it on cold cold days with thick layers. Sweaters, hoodies ECT. Still looks good with just a flannel imo. Also the pile of the lining has to be figured in. I add an inch to the p2p for the wool. So if I'm a 25" I look for 26"
In this pic the N1 is a 4X(26") and the Western(295 ib) is 3x(24.5")

@V-P Imagine you can't get somewhere to try this on?

I only have experience with UHFs and one Trucker.

I am a size Large in everything, I sold the Trucker in the XL as although it fit, it was a little on the looser side.

Rightly so, most folks recommend taking measurements and going from there. That said I tried on both a Medium and Large in the N1.

I'm probably somewhere in the middle, but went with the Large in the end. Felt like the sleeves would rise a little too much in the medium and the torso was a smidge short.

For reference I am 6'0 and weigh about 155 lbs. I have fairly broad shoulders and pretty long arms.

Hope this helps. The jacket is dope.

Just pulled the trigger on this N1--hope I got the sizing correct!!! It was time to level up my cold-weather jacket game : )

Would it be possible/sensible in theory to oil or wax this jacket? I know there is an oiled one for sale but I have this d-pocket version and was wondering if that would work? To increase the heft and waterproofing a bit

Right. So I definitely won’t be trying that then!

@Supersonic I would go with a Large to be safe for layering. XL would be too big, Medium might be too fitted but doable. Just me thoughts.
