IHM-53-ODG - 12oz Whipcord Lightweight N1 Deck Jacket - Olive Drab Green
-
Been looking for jacket like this and very tempted. Glad the measurements are up, thanks.
At a quick glance, the chest to chest seems larger than my n1 deck w/ wool and IHM-41 (m65 w/ liner) both in size mediums. I preferred the room to layer and move my arms in over the size smalls. Although the sleeves are long on me but I have this problem with any tops regardless of brand.
I will measure my jackets later this weekend. But do you think this run of the lightweight n1s are cut a bit larger?
Ie people should consider sizing down from their normal sizes? -
As I haven’t had a N1 before I’m comparing measurements to a type 3. The P2P on this seems much bigger (59.6cm for a M compared to 52 cm for my L type 3)
I take it that’s due to the cut / style of the N1 and it should have much more room in chest?(Edit to say from studying the model photos for both products I think that this was a stupid question and the N1 is a lot less fitted!)
-
It’s a very boxy cut.
-
If every other measurement is good for you, just get it and have the sleeves shortened a little by a good tailor. It’s a very easy alteration and if you choose the right place for it, you won’t be able to tell it’s been altered.
-
yeah. the sleeves are fairly straightforward for my local tailor to shortened. Which I have done many times including my N1 wool deck jacket.
I measured the wool lined that I have and its 22 and a bit inches across. Which makes the lightweight wider. Did most people size down when coming from a wool lined to the lightweight?

@hamnjam I think that wearing it as a lightweight jacket would probably be best depending on the area and climate you deal with.
If you follow this measuring guide: https://ironheart.co.uk/pages/how-we-measure-jackets
I would compare it to a jacket that you already own like a type III or other similar jacket by using the link for measuring above. That would give you a good idea on how it would fit.
You could also wear it a little larger if you plan to use it as an outer layer over heavy flannels, sweatshirts, hoodies, etc. Really up to you if you want to wear it smaller or larger.

thanks for the reply as well as what sizes the crew wears and their vitals.
Settled on the medium and am excited for tomorrow morning. I really like my N1 with wool but it's only worn for a narrow window where i live (Vancouver, Canada). So the lightweight is a great alternative.
-
@Ross Probably an odd question - but it looks like you are similar in build to me. I'm 6'2.5" and 215 lbs. Athletic build . When looking at coats/jackets what measurements do you tend to look for? My arms are longer so I like 27" sleeves, 51" chest for jackets, 21" shoulder.
I lean XXXL with this jacket because of the sleeves.
-
@rahrah12 Yeh arms tend to be fairly key for me, i've got real orangutan arms so do have to watch the length - 27.0" bare mins, then up to 28.0" in leather or other materials where i know I'm going to get elbow creasing reducing the length over time
After that, chest then waist then length, never had to worry too much about shoulders as im not athletic so if I get those right then shoulders tend to follow

We love the weight of this one. Get the most wear out of this with some layers underneath.
We’ve got Medium & Large available for those who missed out:

We're down to XL + XXXL for all those still looking.
-
@guiltyparty Do you happen to know what size the model is wearing and what his measurements are?
-
@thread.and.steel I do indeed. He's wearing a Large. He's 6'1 / 180lbs and 41" chest.

@BenBWH Just bought one from Rivet and Hide too... I have a N1 but want to try this lighter one, hoping I can wear it during spring too!
