IHM-37-ODG - Oiled Whipcord N1 Deck Jacket - Olive Drab Green

I'd agree with @jordanscollected , as I too have an N1 vest, plus I'm typically an XL in UHFs as well. L is what I'd personally buy (frankly the only reason I haven't bought one yet is bc I live in TX and don't think I'd get many chances to wear a full N1).
@Bums_Fan I think that looks perfect with a t-shirt underneath. PS how were you not BOILING wearing a UHF under that thing? I'm surprised you survived!

Thanks @popvulture
Haha…It's a crisp 62 F in SoCal today. Took it off right after the pictures. Heading to Kansas City next week for 10 days. Should get some proper use there.

@Nik:
@Denimdaddysloth Might be worth trying a size up while it is new and you can. I've worn mine for a couple seasons and it is pretty much the same. You might also find that one size up works because of the inner storm cuff that holds the sleeves off the wrist.
Thanks Nik, took your recommendation and sized up to an XXL. Should have it next week. Going to be selling the XL most likely on the Forum before ebay. I appreciate the feedback man.

If you've got two N1's @Bums_Fan seems like it makes sense to have two sizes, then you have more options for layering but also if your body changes or if you start wearing looser/tighter bottoms.
-
@Bums_Fan i think it looks good and probably feels perfect with just a tee underneath. Mine fits just like yours. Also I’m about 3hrs west of KC we have a -9 and high of 7 a day next week she’ll get a good test!
-
Thanks for the input guys.
I’ve been watching the KC weather closely and CANNOT wait!! Most of my IH gear is on the packing list.

The temps took a dip here in East Texas and I am a happy fella! We have a low of 12 one day this week so it’s going to busy week for the N1!

This is a really nice jacket. I was curious as to when these will be available again? I will be moving to Chicago in the spring and wanted to purchase this in a medium. When does Mildblend Supply Co. get these? Especially in a medium. I just discovered Iron Heart. Absolutely looking forward to seeing this in person. I'm currently in Miami and have no such stores here. Any info would be appreciated.
-
Thanks for the info. I will be patient and keep in contact with Mildblend. I definitely need a well constructed jacket for Chicago. I am a tradesman and started years ago buying Red Wing when all was well made. I am not a hobbyist or collector. Its all about durability and craftsmanship.

btw in the really cold weather we've had on the east coast of the usa - an UHF and this jacket keeps you properly warm!

I second this, we had some temps of -10 to -20 and with an IH thermal underneath, the oiled N1 performed flawlessly!

This will be my next purchase. I have been wearing my M65 and I have come to realize that it is not the choice for temperatures below 5° C. Keeping an eye on it for the next season.

What was Good Art calling these again? Suits the jacket well

IHM-37-ODG is key on my list for the fall / winter, but as always, I am wondering about the care. This urethane/paraffin mix prevents normal washes, right?
It is also stated that gentle ironing will renew the waterproofing but where to buy the urethane/paraffin mix and how to reapply the coating it when it wears off?
