IHM-01 - Deck Jacket

[jbphoto23]

holy balls G looks fucking badass in that. I wish I lived in the cold

[Finn666]

doesn`t look as bulky as i imagined itwould…

hmmmmmm, makes things more interesting again

[baracuta61]

sorry, but i dont like the fleece, i think an IH N1 should have been more like this:
british millerain shell, wool lining and genuine mouton collar.

Don't like the millerain shell, looks very J Crew.

[baracuta61]

i was really talking about the lining and collar trim

it´s about reinventing, not about copying every detail

[baracuta61]

what part has been re-invented?

i agree, and the IH N1 would be improved with a lining and collar similar to the ones in my pics (in my opinion of course)

you're entitled to your opinion….even though it's wrong....

[Beatle]

but you already have that exact jacket - so no sense in getting another one anyways …

[Tripleterror]

You really gotta see this thing (I know it's difficult), to realise how everything works together so well.
No point in reinventing the wheel, it's IH take on a classic not an exact repro and always designed for riding a motorcycle.

baracuta, look at The Real McCoys jackets. not re-invented as well.
but they use sheepskin collar, alpaca lining… and the quality is absolutly insane.

[hectic]

I have handled the IH N-1 and it is slightly lighter weight (feels less "dense") than my Buzz Rickson deck jacket. This may be helpful to some. The cut of the IH one is nicer too IMO, little less boxy.

[Beatle]

couldn´t agree more with you guys…damn, having a hard time getting back on track, miss u so much...

[Megatron1505]

Agreed on all the above. I've handled quite a few N-1 repro's, ad the IH is definitely the most wearable as an everyday jacket that I have seen. It's light, really comfortable, and a perfect cut (all the new season is cut so well). I have a BRxWG N-1, and compared to the IH version it is virtually unwearable…..I need this jacket.

Beats, I'm missing everyone too.....gotta go back to work tomorrow......real life sucks.

by that logic i should only need one pair of jeans.
anyway a few people seem to have missed the point of what i said. i never said i didn't like the jacket, i just said i don't like the fleece lining and collar trim. and what i was trying to show with the pictures was what i think is a better lining and trim, i did not say that i would like an exact copy of the jacket in the pictures, but that i  would have preferred the existing iron heart exterior with an interior along  the lines of the jacket in the pics ( maybe with brown shearling lining?). because whilst i prefer the interior of my jacket, the jacket as a whole does not have the same build quality as an iron heart one.

i used to have a buzz rickson n1 which i think had alpaca lining but i sold it because the lining was too itchy when i just wore a tee shirt underneath

i carried out a very scientific survey at work this afternoon and showed pictures of both jacket interiors to 8 unbiased people without  giving them any info on brand etc. and asked which they preferred. everyone said they preferrred the one with the mouton collar.
