Excellent jacket. The colour is incredibly rich, hard to capture on camera. It is luxuriously soft. No damage. No cologne, no animal hair etc.

@Alex exactly!

Seems to be a lot of things almost like this. But they feature waxed outer shells, or shearling lining which looks amazing but can’t be washed.
Am amazed the wool sherpa line trucker/type 3 is so elusive.

Any chance of a type III, with a weighty denim, and will sherpa lining - like the N1 lining?

Anyone know the fabric weight on this one? It Just says sateen in the description

@jbjones85 No but I figure eventually you need to wash it in some capacity.

Can anyone advise me on possible shrinkage after first wash? Picked up this Jacket in Size S (black version) and it's a little tighter than I'd like ideally. Will it shrink at all after a first wash?
Thanks

Just bit the bullet on a Size S down here in Oz. Fingers crossed it's the right fit as they have no Mediums left. No option to try on within the state I live in. Blueworks (shop here in Australia) went to the effort of shooting a short video of one of their staff in the jacket to help me determine sizing.
It's by far the most I have ever spent, or even dreamed of spending on a jacket! if it fits right it will be the winter staple.

@IrishHeart thank you kindly. Very helpful info

@SaddleSC thank you yeah that sounds awesome!
It’s that wet feeling I dislike so much

Hi can anyone on comment on the difference in feel between the oiled and non oiled N-1?

Not had a lot of experience with waxed/oiled jackets except that I’ve tended not to enjoy the feeling of them - as in the oil coming off on your fingers. Maybe this is more a problem at the cheaper end only?

I’ve been pining for an N-1
For years, hard to find one here in Australia and hard to bite the bullet on a purchase without testing.

Thanks

As someone obsessed with trying to stay warm in winter, and needing jackets that are rugged, solid etc I would LOVE to see something like the N1 jacket with a hood.
Once it’s cold outside I find a hood and proper collar (not too tight, useable etc) essential to keeping warm.
I have a carhartt jacket that almost achieves this but no collar and the sherpa lining is only synthetic.
And a swanndri that is wool but not thick enough for genuine cold.

Just got mine in Blue/Black. I was expecting a heavy weight jacket given the price. Lighter than I’d hoped but still a very well made piece.
