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

[zatenm]

G, for the same tag size, these look slimmer fitting than the previous iteration. Am I correct in this assumption?

imo yes you are! also had that feeling…

Cheers Finn! Really interseted in the Navy Deck but bulky jackets do not suit my skinny frame  :-\  Hopefully this one is different..

Decks are the perfect insulated jackets for skinny people. They emerged after all during an era when people were much trimmer. While this isn't a repro, it doesn't deviate radically from the spirit of those 1940s-50s designs.

Copped in Navy.
Looking forward to it!

I have no IHM-03 here to compare it with, but looking at the measurements of both

The measurements are pretty similar….

Shoulders and Opening look noticeably smaller on Medium - mind you, a very encouraging sign for me…
So is mclaincausey's comment, thanks! Feck it, will order it and see for myself  ::) I need this beast, hopefully it'll work out!

Just received mine, couldn't be happier will sort out some fit pics tomorrow.

Interestingly, having tried on the very first IH deck jacket a couple of years ago, this feels a much better fit on me, and I prefer this colour too.

Will be waterproofing with Nikwax in the next week or so, and then this will become my daily jacket

[zatenm]

Congrats tgm! Can't wait for my own blue bag to reach
If you don't mind me asking, how are you planning to wax it? I want to wax mine too but I've never done that before…

This is a very nice fine deck jacket, wow IH

[tmg]

Will be using Nikwax Cotton Proof to add a degree of resistance to rain - if you check the last couple of pages of the IHM-03 thread you'll find the details

Just received mine yesterday in black!

wife was not pleased as apparently "we dont have the space for another bloody jacket".

Oh Well!!!!

Its glorious and is here to stay!

So much nicer than both the Buzz Rickson and Pike Brothers iterations.  The lining was horrible in the Pike Brothers and the BR one made me look like the fucking Michelin Man.

fit Pics of the IH to follow…....

My need to wax mine too!

Just tried them on at Vater & Sohn…it's an awesome jacket. Fit, fabric, "cuddliness" etc. are top notch. I envy everybody that can afford one.

It was hovering around 2 degrees (C) today, so ideal to test out my new winter jacket (and Anonymousism beanie!), very happy, so glad I was able to snag one this year :):)

[JamesMarg]

Super boss TMG.
How does it look with the collar down?

[mclaincausey]

That is IMO the finest looking deck jacket on the market.  Great fit, enjoy.

[JCMx800]

I am in love with this jacket.

Thanks

I think it looks just as good with the collar down, here's a couple of quick pics

[JamesMarg]

You're absolutely right!
Looks awesome, can't wait to get my hands on mine…. on the 25th !

Perfect fit
