And I thought the Oiled N1 was heavy
-
Hi all,
I have owned the oiled N1 for a year and love it. I babied it at first due to the cost but it has now become my go anywhere do anything jacket. I run cold so I prob get use from Oct to March. It's also banging for standing in the cold to watch fireworks (see what I did there).
It's warm, heavy, bullet proof and the zip works well. Why would I ever need anything else?
Because the N1 become my heavy jacket enabler. So for my birthday this year, I picked up a freenote cloth 20z wax jacket with shearling lining. It is what I would describe as rugged elegance but I would guess it ways twice the amount of a deck jacket. Which is madness.
Pics for drooling...

Nice! What size did you go with in each of these if you don't mind my asking?

I am XXL in IH. It was a bit humbling to be honest as I was clinging on to my XL days. But the lining means it wears smaller than the size. I use it a ton but was gutted to see a black version that I missed a while back. That looks amazing.
XL in Freenote but it's a different cut. Kinda boxy and a bit shorter. Probably not as flattering as the N1 on my Dad bod.
I would say the alpaca is a bit warmer than the shearling but both are bad ass jackets.
For reference, I am 6ft, 46" chest, 36-38" waist and circa 107kg.

Nice duo man
I have the same IH oiled N1 … I’ll never forget what @adamc said when I inquired about how it wears … he said (I may be paraphrasing) “it feels like a big hug” … he was absolutely right. I love mine

@Brandrea 100% truth. I used to have a Studio D'artisan jacket that was stunning but had a faux boa lining. For all its awesomeness and construction, as soon as the temp dropped, it was useless.
The deck jacket is an apocalypse jacket.

My N1’s are crazy warm. I can’t imagine anything warmer. It would be too warm for me. Nice pick up man, Freenote is good stuff
