Couple new ones

@Lowlander:

@Bfd70 Michael Chabon is one of my favorite authors! The Yiddish Policemen's Union is both smart and fun. I can also warmly recommend The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay, as well as Moonglow.

Agree. Read all of his books already.

Grabbed A long way down, Nick Hornby, From the library last night. Also grabbed Yddish policemans union, by Chabo, which i’ve read, as a back up.

@Brunell you could go dmall or large. You’re right in between. See if the sleeve size pushes you one way or other. Definitely don’t need to layer under or over dehen garments.

The newest N1 in green and brown is not waxed. It is a 13oz shell instead of 10 to compensate.

@Clint_D
Work shirt arrived in like new condition and nicely packaged.

@Wormspice I’ve worn a friends in the past. Take your IH shirt or N1 size. Quality is great. Super over engineered. I have an IH n1 and wear it all the time. The mouton in the Dehen is much thicker and is best for colder temps. For me i like my IH for 30-45F. Dehen will be for below.

Yeah, IH retailers in my experience are considerably slower than Gosport. Getting a N1. I have an IH but the just cover different temperatures. I’m just perplexed. I would think (and concede i may have no idea what i’m talking about) that 1 person could comfortably open an email, grab and box the item, print and attach shipping label and throw in a pile in 10 min. Thats 6 items boxed an hour. 7.5 hour day. 45 items. I doubt they are filling more orders than that daily. I get it, things come up, people take sick days. No problem. Shoot me an email saying “sorry, stuff came up, we’re running behind.” I’d be satisfied. That was not the tone of the email i received when i asked for shipping confirmation after 4:business days.

Ordered from Dehen
7 days handling
5 days shipping (we’re both conus)
Iron Heart has ruined me for all other vendors

@goosehd:

I’ve got two N1 Vests. One is large and one in XL.  The large one is great over UHF’s and T-Shirts, but would be tight over a jacket.  The XL fits great over almost all jackets.

My Denim Vest I went with Large.  They fit great over UHF’s but would not fit over jackets.

Good info, thanks

To get the vest over a jacket did you guys go up 1 size or 2?

Man, seeing pictures like that make me want to move cities sooo bad.

Fwiw i am a 9.5 (or 9 in thin socks) ir
9.5 875
9.5 wesco ih engineers

For whites my semi dress are 9 and my stevens dress (narrower front) are 9.5

Thanks for that ^.
Hadn’t heard of.

@Matt:

I was really impressed with the OGL belts at the party.  No less than IH and quality leather and hardware.  If I needed a belt I’d have one.

I just picked up 2 and couldn’t be happier. There are a lot of poorly crafted belts out there at the same price.

Wore my N1 on the motorcycle again yesterday. Blocks the wind so well and the 2-way zip is clutch for comfort.

@Oaktavia got the blues!
Looks awesome.

@an_apple_soda  what shop are you in?

I’ll say. For me the wheels didn’t fall off the bus til 45. Up til then i could eat what i wanted. Now same diet same exercise 3” bigger in the waist.

Whites semi dress have a very generous toebox
