IHM-01 - Deck Jacket

[hectic]

I have handled the IH N-1 and it is slightly lighter weight (feels less "dense") than my Buzz Rickson deck jacket. This may be helpful to some. The cut of the IH one is nicer too IMO, little less boxy.

couldn´t agree more with you guys…damn, having a hard time getting back on track, miss u so much...

[Megatron1505]

Agreed on all the above. I've handled quite a few N-1 repro's, ad the IH is definitely the most wearable as an everyday jacket that I have seen. It's light, really comfortable, and a perfect cut (all the new season is cut so well). I have a BRxWG N-1, and compared to the IH version it is virtually unwearable…..I need this jacket.

Beats, I'm missing everyone too.....gotta go back to work tomorrow......real life sucks.

@Beatle:

but you already have that exact jacket - so no sense in getting another one anyways …

by that logic i should only need one pair of jeans.
anyway a few people seem to have missed the point of what i said. i never said i didn't like the jacket, i just said i don't like the fleece lining and collar trim. and what i was trying to show with the pictures was what i think is a better lining and trim, i did not say that i would like an exact copy of the jacket in the pictures, but that i  would have preferred the existing iron heart exterior with an interior along  the lines of the jacket in the pics ( maybe with brown shearling lining?). because whilst i prefer the interior of my jacket, the jacket as a whole does not have the same build quality as an iron heart one.

@hajduk:

baracuta, look at The Real McCoys jackets. not re-invented as well.
but they use sheepskin collar, alpaca lining… and the quality is absolutly insane.

i used to have a buzz rickson n1 which i think had alpaca lining but i sold it because the lining was too itchy when i just wore a tee shirt underneath

you're entitled to your opinion….even though it's wrong....

i carried out a very scientific survey at work this afternoon and showed pictures of both jacket interiors to 8 unbiased people without  giving them any info on brand etc. and asked which they preferred. everyone said they preferrred the one with the mouton collar.

there will not be a lot of these produced
and the ones produced will sell out
that is all

My thoughts on the jacket:

It's a lot lighter than it looks due to the synthetic fleece lining.  Although natural product purists may disapprove,  the fleece provides a good warmth to weight ratio and does not itch.  I wish the fleece was black instead of brown.

The jacket is warm but not extremely so.  I wouldn't wear it to explore the Arctic in winter but think it would be suitable for temperatures between -3 and 7 degrees without extra layers underneath.

I like the neck protection because my neck is always the first think to get cold and I find often find myself raising my shoulders to keep it warm.

There is one inside pocket with a horizontal opening.  I would have liked the opening to be vertical or there to be a zipper.  I like to carry my phone in my jacket pocket and am not sure how secure it would be.

^^^^^

the above is one of the reasons i love Dr. Pat. patiently awaiting your other write-ups.  i saw you in a certain wabash 

jealous of you uk folks.  think i might have said that once or 20 Xs already 

[elclintor]

I want this.

but I also want the duck type III.

I can only have one.

[fifediesel]

I'm with DrPat on this.  I think the color of the fleece is the only thing rubbing me the wrong way.

[shutoko]

I'm going out to Hachioji tomorrow. If they don't have this jacket I will be very upset.

[rocket]

I don't think that they are yet ready for sale

In that case let me clarify: being available in Japan at some point in time is sufficient, as opposed to being export only.

[Giles]

They will be available in Japan….
