IHM-37-GRN - Oiled Whipcord N1 Deck Jacket - Army Green
-
Makes sense re no fuss sizing. Preference on the N-1 color, Olive vs Army Green?
-
@JohnM Nah. They are virtually indistinguishable. And as an oiled cotton, you have to assume the colors on both will evolve.
Much more important I think the new pattern is more versatile.
-
rydor, by 'new pattern' do you mean shorter sleeves? Any other changes you noticed?
-
@JohnM Yeah, it's like 1-1.5" shorter in the sleeves across the board. The 29.3" XXL sleeves on the ODG would never have worked for me.
-
^ Got it. I don't have long arms, but am OK with the longish sleeves on my Olive N-1 in XL from late 2023.
I wonder if the sizing gets tweaked a little each year (not just this year, but in the past). I remember trying on a Large in 2022 and the arms were very long relative to the rest of the jacket. I figured the IH N-1 just didn't work for me. But a year later (October 2023), I tried on an Olive XL and it was perfect. I was fortunate to have a store nearby (Self Edge) to try one one. Measurements are key, but a little tricky with a bulky item like this.

Just got this in today - perfect timing to test out in this 17 degree weather. I held off on getting an N1 the past few seasons because I felt the sleeve length measurements didn't really work out for me, but this year I think it was spot on. Super happy with the fit. Wearing with a henly/flannel layer and no issues. Love this thing, and the color in person is so good. Also,shout outs Ironshop Provisions, you guys rock.
For reference, this is a size S - I'm about 5'7" ~145lbs give or take.
-
@jaasonmg Great fit indeed, enjoy it!
-
I think I'm going to pull the trigger on this one tonight. I think I could get away with both the Small and Medium but going to go with a Small which I tried on below with a thermal and heavy flannel and I don't I should be needing much more layering underneath it for general UK weather. I'm 5"7 and 162lbs more or less.
-
@m4xime Looks spot on if you ask me.
(I also have my doubts that you're weighing in at 162 kgs!
) -
@JunkPants Haha good catch, just edited it! Took me a while to do the conversion!
-
Well it's arrived and I'm keeping it! Love it, apologies for the crap picture
-
It is normal that the zipper is difficult to close from the bottom. I have to try a couple of times to close the zipper.
-
@SashaDBZ Most of the difficulties you have may be down to technique. I find that since the zipper is two way (zips both up and down) that if the bottom zipper isn't fully seated, then it is hard to zip up. Once you get in the habit of making sure the bottom zipper is fully in the down position, then it get's much easier to zip the jacket.

Hey guys,
Just ordered a size medium of this jacket from Self Edge and beginning to think I should have ordered a size large.
I have a 39" chest but broad shoulders.The modified type 3 I have is a large and fits perfect. It's measurements are:
Shoulder: 18.5
Chest: 22.0
Sleeve 25.7
Waist 20.0
Length: 25.4What do you guys think?

@Chibs my N1 is the same size as my type iii’s so maybe you should have gone with a large? Saying that, a few forum guys do size down an N1 to wear fitted over a t-shirt so you may still be good
just depends what look you are after.Okay, so I called 2 self Edge locations. One in NY and one in San Fransisco. Both gentlemen I spoke with pretty much agreed with you and said I goofed ordering medium.
So I emailed and got em to send me their last size large instead! I think that's what they're sending.
Hopefully it fits. So tough buying online and not direct from iron heart. Very excited though!! I didn't want to wait a year for IH to get stock back in. It's -10° C right now and I just want my new N1 life to begin now!! haha -

@Chibs i think i bought the last one in Large yesterday. Did you received confirmation for your exhange?
I just verified I'm getting a large! Maybe they had 2 left?
-
So I got my size large today. What do you guys think of the fit?
I think I maybe could have actually gone with a medium but then would have had much smaller shoulders and not as much mobility in the arms. Not sure though, didn’t have any way to try these on before ordering. Bailey from Ironheart told me to get a large as well as 2 Self Edge employees & you guys, so I listened.
Couple of thoughts.
The wool is soft and not at all itchy. I love the collar popped, It’s much better than wearing a scarf. Buttening the latch is awkward. Maybe I have to get used to it or perhaps I just won’t.
The pockets are amazing. Deep enough to put my iPhone pro max (including the inside pocket too) and no worries about anything falling out if I don’t click in the snaps.
The army green is an awesome colour in person. Really smitten with the dark brown wool accent and how it pops off the green.
It’s warm!! I wore a thin long sleeved tee underneath and was totally comfortable outside in +3 Celsius.
Not sure how it will do in negative temps but this jacket is definitely large enough to get my thickest sweaters on underneath. I tried a Patagonia Better Sweater underneath and had perfect mobility. The arms are long! I think the shoulders look good and the overall length is great. The zipper is so overbuilt, I don’t even think I have as chunky zips on my luggage. The large silver hardware adds to the military-ness and just looks so cool. 2 way is nice for sitting in the car.
I ordered from Self edge - San Francisco and I asked them to declare lower value so I don’t get hit too hard with Canadian customs. They didn’t and I ended up paying 175$ extra
Oddly enough they left this weird brush in the inside chest pocket.
Not sure if this was intentional (if so, why?) or someone who tried on / returned the jacket left it in there on accident?
Overall though I’m happy with the jacket. Got so sick of wearing Canada Goose parkas & puffer jackets. I actually bought a Filson Mackinaw cruiser at the beginning of winter but it turned out that wasn’t near warm enough. This N1 is much toastier and looks really good!
On top of that, my wife and both kids gave the N1 thumbs up. That’s almost unheard of in my experience.
So thanks for your help guys!
