IHM-48-BLK - 12oz Whipcord Lightweight N1 Deck Jacket - Black
-
Real shame on this one and it’s the second best jacket I have ever laid my hands on! The chest (in large) is 1.5” more than my XL flannels so for a jacket that should have made it spot on and I was worried about the sleeves being too short now but no, they were perfect. What I didn’t take into account was just how narrow the shoulders were. It made the jacket so tight when done up even though the chest had plenty of room. Also, the cuffs were so tight it was near claustrophobic and I couldn’t wear a watch comfortably and when I did it was difficult to tell the time! Hopefully this will be rereleased one day and resized. Oh and without d pockets would get my vote!

@Gavin666 The D pockets are the best bit! (You can please some of the people some of the time...)

@will6er I like the look of the pockets too. I have the khaki one and I went XXXL to get perfect shoulder measurement. I do have to say that it would be an improvement that the top block of the jacket would be slightly roomier and the bottom half not so wide. But like you said ^ can't please everyone and everyone is different.
I found a way for myself to live with the fit and idk plan to wear it a lot also in hope that it ''breaks in'', but I'll have to see how it evolves since whipcord is a tough one. I might just go for a walk in pouring rain on purpose and do some outdoor stuff with it etc.
The fabric is as said really really nice.

cord-collar pushed me across the line -
Just picked one up from Self Edge in NYC. Absolute banger of a jacket. Love the D pockets, the stitching, the corduroy collar. Great stiffness from the whipcord. Can't wait to wear the f out of this thing and see how it evolves.

Mine just arrived a couple of days ago - my first IH product! I have yet to wear it other than trying it on (XXL is a perfect fit). I see that it is sulphur-dyed. Will I need to be concerned with significant crocking? Is this going to discolour the cuffs, hems, or collars of some of the shirts I wear underneath?
-
@ledfut1965 I doubt it since it's whipcord and will fade really slowly.

Snagged a large on Guilty Party with their Black Friday sale. I was able to try on a medium at Self Edge but it was a touch too tight all around, so I'm pretty confident a large will fit well. Looking forward to getting this.

Recently bought one of these in size large from Dant. Fairly boxy fit but I think it fits the style. That said, I don’t think I’d be able to fit anything thicker than a light sweater underneath. 5’10”, 185lbs.
