IHM-35-BLK - Whipcord N1 Deck Jacket - Black

Medium. Does the fit look okay? Thanks

Are they meant to be quite short?

@RichardsT I am a little torn…it looks big in a couple of the pictures and you could probably size down depending on how you layer. When worn over the UHF the fit looks pretty good although still a little big.
I wear my N1 big and like to wear it when shovelling snow and need the extra room or it's really cold and need extra layers. I typically wear XL in UHF's and have an XL in the N1. If I was just wearing it to town or for walking the dog, I would size mine down to a Large.
How does it feel?

Are they meant to be quite short?
The jacket length looks normal to me and if you google pictures of the N1 you will see they all sit in the same place. The bottom of the jacket should sit to about the bottom of your waistband/belt and maybe to the top of the coin pocket depending on how tall you are.

Thanks mate picture 4 is the large the other photos are the medium.

@RichardsT the medium fits you perfect. I have a large in the n1 vest and it took a bit for me to get used to the shorted body length, but now I feel perfect in it. It's supposed to be a shorter length jacket in the body and it fits you just as it should. The medium will mod to your body a bit and feel better, and the way your shirt tails peek out under the jacket looks great.
Keep the medium and be confident its the right choice.

Thanks appreciate your comments

Arrived today. Missed out last season on the black. Picked a large. Fits perfect . I’m 190cm and 83kg for reference.
It’s my first N1 hence the question. It’s smells of old basement moist right out of the box. Is that due to the alpaca linen or ?

I have heard critiques of alpaca smell before, especially when it gets damp. I have not personally had this experience, including with my deck jacket, but maybe I'm nose-blind.
Looks great on you @PJ !

@mclaincausey Thank you. We have 13 Alpacas living at the farm next door so I might go and sniff one tomorrow. [emoji4] The smell is definitely from the alpaca interior.

Is the black whipcord fabric the same as prior years?

Just a couple questions on sizing for this item. I'm a 37 inch chest, 5ft 10 inches in height. I'm a medium comfortable in all Iron Heart Westerns & size small in American brands. If I want to be able to layer a thick sweatshirt or UHF under this jacket, would I be best with a small or medium? I see AJ wears a medium for this jacket but then in the olive color took a small so I'm a bit confused on sizing as I'm closest to his specs.

@gsa215 I can wear either Small or Medium in these.
The issue I have with our deck jackets is the sleeve. I would not be able to layer under a Small so you'll want to go Medium if you're wearing a thick sweat/UHF underneath.
I am basically 'between' sizing with there being no ideal but if I 'had' to buy one I would go Medium across the board.
(I've updated the olive post to reflect this)
Any questions let me know!

Welp, just ordered one of these badboys! Very excited to be wrapped in this come winter.

Newbie looking to get into Iron Heart and would like everyone's feedback. The IHM-35 in medium seems to be sold out everywhere, I missed my chance during Black Friday as I was too slow to pull the trigger. I've seen the older IHM-29 being available on eBay and was wondering if there are significant differences. Some on the forum and the product description mentioned an additional liner for the collar and "tweaked the pocket placement very slightly." What does that actually mean?
Are there big differences? Should I buy the IHM-29 or wait it out? Your feedback would be appreciated.
