IHM-53-ODG - 12oz Whipcord Lightweight N1 Deck Jacket - Olive Drab Green

Inspired by the classic US Navy deck jackets of the 1940s, our interpretation of the N1 has become a signature piece for Iron Heart. This lightweight model replaces the thick Alpaca wool insulation and quilted sleeves found on our heavyweight N1 with a much lighter weather-resistant Japanese Ventile cotton lining — slimming the jacket down, enhancing breathability, and adding a layer of protection against wind and rain.

For this FW26 update, we've opted to use a reactive-dyed fabric, the same as that found on the wool-lined models. This replaces the sulphur-dyed whipcord that featured on previous versions of this jacket, resulting in a richer shade of olive and ensuring longer-lasting colour. Finished with a corduroy-lined collar that contrasts the whipcord, the result is a jacket that offers classic N1 styling at the perfect weight for the transitioning seasons.

Is this one only coming out in green or will there be other colours?

[Ross]

@Chibs only the green this year round as part of FW26

[Cymro]

With being reactive dyed and the cord collar, look wise and evo wise will it be similar to the 526 ODG?

[Giles]

Yep

[Cymro]

So the dilemma, don't buy one or, if I buy it Mrs C will probably question why I have two jackets that are very similar, OR, buy it and make sure this and the 526 ODG are never in the same room and hope that it’s not noticed!

[muggleclutch]

Know this is not entirely on topic to this specific garment but we know whether there's any chance of the navy lightweight version coming back?

[goosehd]

@muggleclutch not this season. It may come back in the future, but it could be a while.

[muggleclutch]

@goosehd Thank you!

[adambyrtek]

Can we see the sizing chart before the release?

[Jord]

@adambyrtek Not possible, how are they supposed to measure what they don;t have?

[Jord]

Just to clarify if you're new, they get the products shipped to them from Japan, the time between them actually receiving anything can vary, and once they have them at IHUK in Gosport they normally list them to us within a few weeks or so and they always post the measurement charts roughly a week before release... Hope this helps!

[adambyrtek]

Thanks, I expect these to go quickly so having measurements a week before the release helps with the decision

[Tago Mago]

@adambyrtek Giles has elaborated on this here. Plenty of information on the process leading up to a release as well as on how to receive notifications

[macguffin]

Regarding temperatures: How does the lightweight N1 compare to the IHJ-169 work jacket?

[AdamJ]

@macguffin IHJ-169 has a wool lining so I would expect it to be a lot warmer than the Lightweight N1. The N1 (being unlined) does have a generous amount of room to fit a flannel under!

[macguffin]

@AdamJ Thanks a lot!

[V-P]

Will the lightweight N1’s of this season be the same pattern/cut as last seasons?

[Giles]

Let's see whn we post the measurements. All we have see is a sample in L

[emilink]

This jacket looks pretty good to me, so it's probably something I'll be buying. I think it could work well for an Irish summer, as well as spring and autumn. My question is: will it be shorter and boxier like the last seasson N-1 light jacket, or more like the standard N-1 jacket? int the picture looks more slimmer and larger than previous N-1 light jacket.......
