IHM-53-ODG - 12oz Whipcord Lightweight N1 Deck Jacket - Olive Drab Green

This jacket looks pretty good to me, so it's probably something I'll be buying. I think it could work well for an Irish summer, as well as spring and autumn. My question is: will it be shorter and boxier like the last seasson N-1 light jacket, or more like the standard N-1 jacket? int the picture looks more slimmer and larger than previous N-1 light jacket.......

@emilink if everything goes to plan, it will fit like the sample used in the photos, scaled up and down from sample size. But until the production run is complete, we won't know for sure

Well, we'll see how it goes. But if it looks like the picture, I will certainly be buying it. I have to confess, the N-1 jacket is my favorite jacket in my wardrobe. As I mentioned, from spring to autumn, it would be a very good jacket for a mild climate like Ireland's.

Will definitely be looking at the size chart for this when it's ready. I'm hoping they fixed the much too small sleeve openings that were on last year's IHM-48.

Is there any chance you could measure the sleeve length on this sample jacket in size Large?
This is the most important measurement for me, as it will determine whether I’ll actually be able to wear the jacket.

@MichalM the sample doesn’t necessarily dictate what the production will look like. I don’t think we’ll know any more information about the coat until they’re actually in stock and measured.

MichalM

@Anesthetist Yes, probably. But if Rudi wears a Large, then that size will probably be perfect for me, since his measurements are almost identical to mine. And the sleeves are long.

@MichalM samples may or may not have measurements similar to each other as tweaks in fit are often made in production. Going off of sample size is not a good indicator and you need to wait until the production run is finished and measured by the IHUK staff.

@jglatz Hi jglatz! Unfortunately I don't have any more information available just yet, but you're in the right place, as this will be the first place any updates will be posted.

One of the reasons we make samples is to see how the sizing works after construction. Until we construct a garment, we do not know how the end product will look like/work/size like. We often make changes between sampling and production. This is why we do not publish measurements of samples. They are not necessarily indicative of the final production run. If you watch our
