IHM-37-BLK - Oiled Whipcord N1 Deck Jacket - Black

[Ross]

IHM-37-BLK - Oiled Whipcord N1 Deck Jacket - Black

An oiled version of our popular N1, giving improved water-resistance to the jacket. Due to the nature of whipcord and its reluctance to absorb, the heavy oiling of the fabric increases its weight from our standard 12oz to approximately 14oz.

The classic N1 deck jacket was first produced for the US Navy in the early 1940s. Much copied since then, it has become a true style icon in its own right. This Iron Heart version remains pretty true to the original jackets on the basis that "if it ain't broke, don't fix it". A minor tweak we’ve made for this oiled version is to remove the “D” stitching around the pockets to create a smoother look - but the one major, but unseen upgrade we have made for all of our N1 models, is to add an additional interlining to increase wind resistance. A truly warm and great-looking winter jacket.

any idea roughly when these might be available?

[AdamJ]

It is almost time!

@korgi will be dropping in the next 2 weeks I expect

[DeeDee85]

@AdamJ Hi mate, any estimates on the non-oiled standard versions?

[Alex]

@DeeDee85 have a read here

[rllamarca]

I've had a look at the size charts, but can anyone speak to how this fits overall? Boxy? Tapered? Based on the chart and other jackets I have, a small should fit, but a medium might be more comfortable. Local shops don't have any stock and the ones I've found online are final sale.

For reference, I've got a 40" chest, 32" waist (bellybutton), and 34" at my hips - broader shoulders and 165 pounds at 5'8". Maybe someone with similar measurements went through this already.

[AdamJ]

@rllamarca I would always recommend comparing the actual dimensions of the product with a similar fitting jacket, if possible. I appreciate the measurement chart for these hasn't been posted yet (they should arrive on Wednesday) but that measurements are always a safer bet.

You're a similar size to me in terms of vitals and I usually take a Medium, providing the sleeves work, which is usually the issue that they come up too long! It's quite a substantial jacket due to the layers of fabric involved, I would not say the fit is boxy though.

[rllamarca]

@AdamJ Thanks for the insight! Medium might be the move then. My Schott 641 in size 40 measures 22" P2P and that fits well with the liner installed. I was using the IHM-37 size chart from last year's jacket - curious if they'll vary much in this new release.

If I'm patient, a local shop may receive stock before it gets too cold in the North East US.

[AdamJ]

@rllamarca They are arriving this week at IHUK, so the selected retailers (which will be posted at the top of this thread in due course) should have theirs next week at some point.

[AdamJ]

They're here!

[Zee Boo]

Take my money!

[A Former User]

They are really.. really.. nice!

[popvulture]

Man this one is so tempting. It barely gets cold here long enough to justify… let’s see if irrationality wins out

[AdamJ]

[Karol]

And so it begins...

[Zee Boo]

It won’t be easy for me to choose the right size, as I stuck between the sizes, @AdamJ would it be possible to check the inside pit to pit measurements? I wonder how much space takes the lining. Thanx!

[A Former User]

Oh.. this one is almost impossible not to get haha!

[Karol]

@Heavy_blue I don't know. I'm so torn apart between this and its Olive version. I cant make up my mind, and the main reason is that those are not the jackets that can be machine washed. What do You all think, what color will be more future proof as the wear and inevitable dirt accumulates?

[AdamJ]

@Karol You'll be fine with either oiled one, they're both pretty dark. You can wipe them down with a damp cloth if needed
