IHM-48-BLK - 12oz Whipcord Lightweight N1 Deck Jacket - Black
-
Just got this delivered today. Amazing jacket with some unfortunate sizing issues for me. I am 6 ft 185 with a 43" chest. I went with the XL (my UHF size), but it is too big in the chest and way too big in the waist and opening, but pretty good in the shoulders and perfect in the sleeves and length. The problem is that the sleeves on the L would be too short for my arms. Since these sold like hotcakes, maybe next year they will come back with a more reasonable chest/waist/opening width and a normal sleeve length.

I thought it was possible to only use this as a shell over a hoodie, but the sleeve opening is too tight as well. It made it difficult to take the jacket off over the hoodie, as it gets stuck at the wrist. For next time, please consider making it a normal sleeve opening so that the buttons can be functional to cinch it down if needed.

@xaqh I'm with you 100% on those tiny sleeve openings! I am a very similar height, weight, and chest, and went with L. I've just been treating my jacket and hoodie as one and it's not too bad. But I've found a UHF cuff under there to be almost impossible! The sleeve opening is my only complaint about this beauty. I might try opening and resewing one of the seams in the cuffs at some point, to give them a slit. For now though, just gonna accept these tiny little sleeve holes, because everything else about this jacket is just chefs kiss!

Wore my size Large today for the first time. I'm absolutely in love with this thing. I'm a typical size Medium in most American brands and I have enough room to layer with a thick Dehen full moto hoodie underneath.
I will echo the sleeve openings being tiny but it works perfectly for my thinner wrists. The button cinches on the wrist are basically useless because even I would never use them with how narrow the opening is. With the bulky cuffs on the Dehen hoodie, it was basically filling out the entire sleeve opening right before the point of feeling tight.

Really enjoying the Lightweight N1… its still quite warm in Copenhagen, between four and eight degrees most days, a little cooler at night… I find wearing a Northsea clothing Submariner sweater underneath is perfect during these cool, damp days…

Very happy some stockists... still had stock.
Was trying to resist another jacket purchase but this is the weight of jacket I need. Even camping last week, mostly in the rain, my full size N1 was too hot of a jacket

Loved this but had to return it as strange sizing. Hopefully will be tweaked for a future release.
-
@Gavin666 what size and store did you return it to?
-
-
@Gavin666 are you typically a large in IH or are you an XL and sized down?
-
@worn2fade am normally an XL but sized down as the chest would have been nearly 25”
-
@Gavin666 so what with the sizing was strange for ya?
-
@worn2fade shoulders were too tight, chest too big (for a spring/autumn jacket), sleeves slightly too short and cuffs too tight.
-
@Gavin666 damn so just about everything lol. Thanks for that.
