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.

Quick question to all, please help. Has anyone washed and dried this jacket? What is the proper way to clean and wash this jacket. Thank you all

[goosehd]

@hugothecowboy This is from the product description:

Care Guidelines

• Dry clean (with petroleum solvent) only
• Outer material can be spot cleaned by hand with warm water
• Do not machine wash or tumble dry
• No shrinkage expected when washed according to these guidelines

[Supersonic]

@RubyRae Hey mate, yeah my response was to another fella asking about sizing.
I went for Large.

[rovdjurstorget]

I tried the lightweight N1 at Göteborgmanufaktur and thought the XL was perfect for my build. I'm usually an XL in UHF. I could wear XXL, but then the sleeves are too long.
If the lightweight XL was good for me, would the lined XL version be equally as good with the lining taking up space? Or should I size up for the lined version to an XXL?

I have the M65 in Medium but wish I had sized up to L.

[V-P]

@rovdjurstorget Probably size up. I have 8 IH shirts, all are L. I tried the lightweight N1 in L and it was hilariously big and boxy on me, it felt like I could fit two of me inside it and it was still a bit short. I went for M in the regular N1 (navy, but they seem to be similar in size).

30 days ago I opened up my closet and found myself struggling to hang in a couple of flannels. It's been that way for years. The struggle to find space. So many shirts, jackets, pants, boots, hats, I never wear, wasting space and missing out of being worn by someone who will truly appreciate them.

So finally, after years of thinking the thought of owning fewer things I really love, over quantity, I started photographing each item I never wear for various reasons, and posted them for sale. Long story short. In 20 days I had sold 9 items collecting more than enough cash to replace them all with this N1 Deck Jacket.

Last night I ordered it in XL, and I'm stoked to finally have enough room to fill out the empty space left behind by all 9 sold items combined.

@rovdjurstorget can’t beat having a clear out to make room for one big purchase

[AdamJ]

@rovdjurstorget I thought the same thing originally but have found that M in both would probably be the best option and I'd go Large if I wanted to layer. The lining was not enough on its own to warrant a size up.

Sadly, neither work for me due to my shape. If you're going to be wearing layers under it, definitely take that into account. Sounds like the XL is the way to go based on what you tried on!

[rovdjurstorget]

@DeeDee85 Totally. From now on I’m not buying anything new until I’ve sold enough stuff to completely fund a new item.

[DeeDee85]

@rovdjurstorget I had a very similar strategy until I realised that the constant barrage of must have IH pieces far outweighed the value of things I had laying around in wardrobe

[rovdjurstorget]

@DeeDee85 That is the hard truth.

Aside from this jacket, the only thing left in my bucket list is a waxed and lined canvas jacket, and a warm pair of winter boots to withstand this Swedish winter. Then, I’m good.

The N1 is arriving today, I hope I’m not swimming in it.

[DeeDee85]

@rovdjurstorget Fingers crossed for you mate

You were correct. It arrived and I'm very happy with the XL. Living in Sweden gives me no option but to always count on being able to layer my warmest sweaters. In this case even my thickest Peregrine Aran jumper. The sleeves were as I suspected an inch too long but they were easily cuffed inwards.

Love it.

Thanks man!

Picked up 3XL few weeks ago and wore it almost daily since.

[Crease]

Never thought I’d actually have one of these but decided to splurge this year. So glad I did! This thing is amazing and very warm. Love how it looks a little different in color depending on the lighting. Also when I was checking out on IHUK it gave me the option of adding a paracord drawstring which was an awesome surprise. I had planned to add my own but apparently they are now offering it and it looks great! Thanks to the IHUK crew!

[dnguyen]

I bought this at my local retailer (Dutil) and was wondering if there’s a way I can get the OG drawstring for the hem from IHUK? Thanks!

[goosehd]

@dnguyen I’m tagging IHUK @ShopatIronHeart but just to let you know that it’s just paracord.
