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

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!

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

I got a nice deal on a lightly used XL Khaki. Not sure if it was from this run but I suspect it was from the previous run. The fit is pretty much like the one I tried on at Self Edge. The sleeves are a bit long but workable. Almost considering taking it to a tailor to get them shortened. Has anyone done this to their jacket?
Also I noticed the jacket is missing the drawstring on the bottom. Is there a way I can get a replacement? Paracord or otherwise. @Bailey

@Skell6009 Hi, thanks for the message. I will send over an email to discuss how to obtain the Paracord.

Love my N1. Always looking for an Olive second hand. It's such a great jacket.

The weather in Copenhagen is finally dropping towards zero… really like this N1 in Khaki and just having a thin Cashmere T underneath is fine at temperatures hovering around zero
-
Gothenburg, Sweden: -6°C / 21°F. The ocean has turned to ice. I try my N1 for the first time. Layers: black thermal long sleeve, funnel neck sweater, N1 Deck in XL.
I think I’m glad I went one size up.

N1 vs Pecoat…
Over the past week or so I have used my N1 everyday… the temperature in Copenhagen hasn’t been above freezing, and on the days with considerable windchill I have found a flaw in the design of the N1. The front zipper/placket has zero insulation. Compared with the Peacoat and its overlapping double layer the N1 is nowhere near as insulating… I have even tried my Lightweight N1 with a thin merino/cashmere baselayer and Submariner sweater which actually keeps me warmer…
Anyone else have similar experiences ?

@MikeCD wore mine a couple of times recently (also in Copenhagen). For me the limitation in really cold conditions is not so much the zipper area, but the lack of length (and of a drawstring) and also the lack of a hood and option to "zip up" high over the chin... So: for days where I need a "real winter coat" I grab my other options that provide more protection..
