IHM-35-KHA - Whipcord N1 Deck Jacket - Khaki

Blanco

Picked up mine from Franklin & Poe today. Thankfully they had a few sizes. I normally take a XXL in shirts but sometimes an XL for boxy cuts (like mechanics shirts). I tried the L and XL. The sleeves were perfect in the L but gave me little wiggle room for anything beyond a thin shirt. So I went with the XL. Everything is great, fits well with a flannel or a T. Sleeves are longer but the storm cuffs and additional button really make it comfortable regardless. The fabric is interesting as in different lights it can look like there are stains but it's just some variation in how the light plays off of the fabric mixed with some slight variation in texture. I love it and will be with me for a long time.

@Blanco Great write up and outstanding fit!

Blanco

@goosehd thanks! I'm always a bit paranoid about sizing so I held out to be able to try it on before they sold out.

Has anyone added the paracord to your jacket after it's in your hands? Wondering where to find the tools/materials

Does it come with the cord? I didn't get one with mine.

goosehd

@Blanco It does not come with cord. The cord typically used is paracord. I will see if I can find the tips/tricks to adding it.

goosehd

@Blanco I can’t seem to find the proper reference, but you need to feed the paracord through the eyelets and jacket. There is a tool that you can use, use a straightened clothes hanger with the paracord taped to it, or feed it through by hand.

It’s not hard and only takes time. It’s the same as retreading the string into a hoodie.

Ok thank you. I've run a Paracord through a pair of shorts using a safety pin that I can feel through the fabric and push it through so I'll try that if I feel the need. I just saw reference and checked mine.

@Blanco I did it to.mine. A kit on Amazon for about 6-7 bucks and a little patience. If I can do it anyone can

I’d really like to hear more about how to size these. I’m looking at getting the navy or the black version but I’m going back and forth between M and L. I’m usually a L in shirts but sometimes M. What’s your experience?

CosmoSix5

I sized up as I wear it on cold cold days with thick layers. Sweaters, hoodies ECT. Still looks good with just a flannel imo. Also the pile of the lining has to be figured in. I add an inch to the p2p for the wool. So if I'm a 25" I look for 26"
In this pic the N1 is a 4X(26") and the Western(295 ib) is 3x(24.5")

@V-P Imagine you can't get somewhere to try this on?

I only have experience with UHFs and one Trucker.

I am a size Large in everything, I sold the Trucker in the XL as although it fit, it was a little on the looser side.

Rightly so, most folks recommend taking measurements and going from there. That said I tried on both a Medium and Large in the N1.

I'm probably somewhere in the middle, but went with the Large in the end. Felt like the sleeves would rise a little too much in the medium and the torso was a smidge short.

For reference I am 6'0 and weigh about 155 lbs. I have fairly broad shoulders and pretty long arms.

Hope this helps. The jacket is dope.

Just pulled the trigger on this N1--hope I got the sizing correct!!! It was time to level up my cold-weather jacket game : )

Would it be possible/sensible in theory to oil or wax this jacket? I know there is an oiled one for sale but I have this d-pocket version and was wondering if that would work? To increase the heft and waterproofing a bit

@wildeep It's been done by a few of the members here. One of them is @Nik and you can see his progress here: https://forum.ironheart.co.uk//post/774082

There are others and you can find them using the search function with the terms: wax N1

Right. So I definitely won’t be trying that then!

@Supersonic I would go with a Large to be safe for layering. XL would be too big, Medium might be too fitted but doable. Just me thoughts.

hugothecowboy

Quick question to all, please help. Has anyone washed and dried this jacket? What is the proper way to clean and wash this jacket. Thank you all

goosehd

@hugothecowboy This is from the product description:

Care Guidelines

Dry clean (with petroleum solvent) only
Outer material can be spot cleaned by hand with warm water
Do not machine wash or tumble dry
No shrinkage expected when washed according to these guidelines

Supersonic

@RubyRae Hey mate, yeah my response was to another fella asking about sizing.
I went for Large.

rovdjurstorget

I tried the lightweight N1 at Göteborgmanufaktur and thought the XL was perfect for my build. I'm usually an XL in UHF. I could wear XXL, but then the sleeves are too long.
If the lightweight XL was good for me, would the lined XL version be equally as good with the lining taking up space? Or should I size up for the lined version to an XXL?

I have the M65 in Medium but wish I had sized up to L.
