IHM-04 - Alpaca Lined N1 Deck Jacket - Olive, Black and Navy

[Occupant]

I wanted to offer a public service announcement and make a plea for help as well. On a cold night, I put this jacket on after getting my hair cut earlier in the day. I immediately realized my mistake and took it off, but it was already too late. The hair worked its way into the lining and I've been unable to get it out. I tried the two most obvious solutions - a lint roller and a vacuum cleaner's upholstery attachment. Neither one seemed to make much improvement and I'm now the owner of a $600 hair shirt until I can figure a way to remedy this. Might anyone be able to offer a suggestion?

Perhaps use static cling somehow? That sucks man sorry.

worn this jacket literally every day, up until now, and i freakin love it. there is one thing id change though, which is not particularly true to the original, but id really prefer a snap button on the throat latch. for easier temp control when biking with gloves etc..

Or use some tape wrapped around ur hand (sticky side out of course). Hopefully that helps, lil hairs are sooo fuckin annoying

[ohighyo]

just wash it to get it out.

What about using a blow dryer?

I'm assuming the measurements are based on the outside of the jacket. How thick is the jacket itself?

I don't have any well-fitting winter coats right now, but I'm assuming that using my shirt measurements would be a mistake.

[Giles]

Yes, the measurements are to the outside.  But do you have an IH shirt?  I am same size in most IH shirts and the IHM-04 (Large)….

I take an XXXL in most Iron Heart gear, and am also an XXXL in this.

The only reason I haven't picked one up is that I'm thinking of heading out to Australia later this year, and it might not get cold enough to wear it!

[irishexpat]

the only IH thing I have is beatle busters in 38. I'm assuming I'd be an XXXL in this.

I was almost gonna buy a Schott pea coat last winter….but the sale on this puts it into a competitive spot, and it's a bit less seen than a pea coat.

[Cutlasshound]

This is without a shadow of a doubt a far superior beast to the schott pea coat. It's great at blocking out wind and is especially nice in the navy (I picked up the black). To be honest I would probably be a 38 in the busters as they are a slimmer cut but I'm an xl in this. In shirts I'm normally about 23.3 pit to pit. I can do this comfortably with room to spare. Far more generous and a better cut than the buzz ricksons deck jacket.

(Meant to say do this up comfortably with room to spare plus yes, if I had the money I would probably also get the navy - the pics really don't do it justice hence why I went with black)

im a 38 in the jeans but I got a fair size gut. I'm an XL in Gap/Old Navy/J Crew/etc. That's why I'm assuming XXXL here. That's more than likely the size for me (and even then it may depend on loosing a few pounds before winter, which I'm planning for anyway)

Can anyone who has this comment on the itchiness of the Alpaca? Is it soft?
