      @cyclops Having discussed this in the office, it seems like some people will size down, and others take their normal size - It really depends on how you want to wear it and what your climate is like. You may want it to fit a little tighter if you plan to wear this with just a tshirt, or you may want a smaller size to get the sleeve length to fit well.

      If you can try this on then this may be a good idea, but if this isn't an option we can provide full measurements of what we have in stock when you place an order. I believe more staff measurements will be posted when they're available, which will give a better idea of how we prefer to wear these

        @GreenMan I'm not far off your measurements. We don't have any of last year's models to compare, but from memory, these fit very similarly.

        @cyclops I'm usually a large in Type III jackets and most shirts, but would probably size down for the N1. Here's a comparison of M vs L on me. As it doesn't often get really cold here in the UK, I'd usually only wear it over a tee (and probably unzipped), so the medium is a pretty bang-on fit. It does feel a touch snug over a UHF, though, so I'd probably stick to a large if I needed to layer up in colder climates — although the sleeves do feel a little long in this size. Hope that's helpful!

          @SamD awesome thanks heaps for the insights! Thanks for taking the time to explain 🙂 I have found with IH shoulders to be for me the key factor so this helps 🙂

              Would you get this in the same size as the lightweight N1 that just dropped @SamD ? I got the lightweight N1 in large. Could have gone with Medium but it would have been too short.

                @brently Yes, I’d wear a medium in both the regular and lightweight N1 👍

                    @nrtphotos same. Khaki is just winning currently for me.

                    Weaseling out of things is important to learn. It's what separates us from the animals... except the weasel.

                      Can I get a fit check. Went into a store and they had a medium tried on and the person helping said it was too small. I’m a Large in western iron heart shirts and UHF and a large in CPOs. This is a large and wondering if I should see about returning for medium. I don’t ever plan to layer.

                        @bluemantra I think it looks good, especially if you're going to layer under it... I have a medium N1 and it's a little snug and I would have got a large if I could change that...

                        Ultimately up to you if you like the fit though, but I think it looks great.

                          @bluemantra the shoulder seams line up well and look to be a good fit. The body does look a little large, but inline with how the N1 should fit. I would be happy with that jacket and only could say for certain seeing the medium on you.

                            Yeah the shoulders felt a little tight with any movement in the medium. I really don’t plan on wearing anything but a t shirt

                              @bluemantra Do you have opportunity to go back and try the medium on again? If not I think the large will be a fine choice. Beautiful jacket, and you should be feeling over the moon about this new investment.
