Great review!! Glad I did not buy the RRL one. Tbh charging almost 150€ more (in EU) is mental.

For sizing reference mine is an XXL, could have sized down to XL but wanted to be able to layer a hoodie or heavier shirt aswell and with only a tee I will grab a denim jacket anyway but could wear the n1 as a solo piece too.

Ronja likes the jacket too!

@FlavourFade Thanks! I agree with you on the fit. Definitely more versatile as an outer layer with extra space. I think that’s the whole point to this piece (at least for me). Wore it with a T yesterday in 14°C but I’m guessing with a hoodie / Patagonia fleece will be comfortable @0°C. Once it gets to the negatives, I’ll bet my Anderson zip will be ideal underneath. We’ll see though
Amazing jacket, glad I didn’t pass on it again this year. Lesson learned

@FlavourFade I think you made a good choice on sizing - especially seeing the photo of it buttoned up. The large and the medium had close measurements, but I opted for a large for slightly longer length and sleeves. I can wear the large with a tee shirt without it looking like a tent, and I still have ample room for layering when it's cold and windy here in Colorado...

@singletrack I actually tried the XL as well and it fit good too BUT length and especially sleeve length as well as the option to layer made the decision easier

Was planning to size down from my regular XL to a L but was sold out. Ended up buying a CL from shop Vancouver and it is a perfect fit over T plus Work shirt. Really glad I ended up with my usual size.

Softens up nicely too after a couple of wears

Actual fall weather is starting to happen. 3°C and I layered a Patagonia Better Sweater underneath for this morning’s walk.

Very comfortable!

If anyone needs an XL, 2XL, or 3XL Blue Button Shop has em. It’s weird they weren’t listed under Stockists.

@Chibs looks great! Are you the same size in this LW N1 as you are the Regular Wool lined N1? Sizing on the LW version looks like I'd be 1 size down from my regular N1.

I currently have last years Black Waxed A2 in 3XL and a Green Waxed regular N1 in SP-Large. I also have the Navy Tanker in 3XL and they all fit slightly different but fit well.

I'm 5'11" 48+ chest w/ broad shoudlers and 36" waist. My best fitting jackets tend to be 26.5" pit to pit which always seems to be the key fit for me so I'm thinking the 3XL in this LW N1 should be my choice.

@redsnake97 I'm the same size L in my regular N1. Make sure you leave room to layer with the light weight variant. It will become a much more versatile jacket that way.

[redsnake97]

@Chibs thanks. I'm torn because I don't want it to swallow me in normal under-layers like T-shirt or Flannel... and if it gets colder I'll likely just wear a heavier jacket. There's the rub... as I want this as mostly a Fall / Spring jacket when temps are above 30F - 55F. Anything below that or long times outside I'll wear warmer jackets.

[redsnake97]

I decided to order the 3XL as it's almost the same size as my Tanker and that jacket fits quite well and leaves plenty room to layer as much as I would w/this jacket. Fingers crossed on the fit.

@redsnake97 It's always tough ordering without trying on first. let us know how it fits!
