So after years of searching for a pair of Billy Boots, I finally scouted and hunted down a pair of my own, in pretty much mint condition. Normally I'm a half size smaller (9) but wanted them to have that extra space (9,5) for a warm and fluffy inner sole with support, and room for thick winter socks. Now I just need a knife that fits the pocket.

Some of my Indigofera gear.
Included are: Alamo shirt (sand), Norris Shirt (beige/brown), Delray linen shirt (black), Wendell double knee pants (beige/rust), Parson’s Lodge Jacket (Type 2 variation), Kirk jeans no2 STPF (cinchback, original version)

30 days ago I opened up my closet and found myself struggling to hang in a couple of flannels. It's been that way for years. The struggle to find space. So many shirts, jackets, pants, boots, hats, I never wear, wasting space and missing out of being worn by someone who will truly appreciate them.

So finally, after years of thinking the thought of owning fewer things I really love, over quantity, I started photographing each item I never wear for various reasons, and posted them for sale. Long story short. In 20 days I had sold 9 items collecting more than enough cash to replace them all with this N1 Deck Jacket.

Last night I ordered it in XL, and I'm stoked to finally have enough room to fill out the empty space left behind by all 9 sold items combined.

The perfect flannel + the perfect Stetson = the reason I love autumn on a windy day of roller coasters.

I'm two years in and they're the best fitting IH jeans I have. I'm usually a size 33 in Iron Heart, but since 33s were sold out, I took a chance on a 34. Best decision ever—these 34s lock in like machinery to my body, fitting perfectly compared to my regular 777s, which feel a bit baggy. Black denim just feels better and more punk the more snug (not tight) they fit, IMHO.

That said, I still like the slightly baggy look of my 777s for a different style.

So I finally got it together and joined the SBG club. I was unsure if 34 would work for me (normally a 33) but after the best support from Graham it all worked out perfectly.

I can't be any happier with the results, and there's even room for a small shrinkage. Should I soak them hot or wash them before breaking them in? I'd rather not, in case of marbling. Normally i just wear and wash when needed, usually 6 month mark.

I wanted to see the difference between some cuts and made a quick graphic comparison between 666, 777, 888 and 634. Using photos from Brund's website (of jeans all in size 33) that are taken from a similar angle and size I placed the photos next to each other and drew lines across 4 points. I also added color coded points across the hem to illustrate the differences in width.

Comparison areas:

**The bottom of the back pocket

The side seam's end

The side pocket rivet

The top of the waist

Additional points in hem opening/cuff width**

Of course this is a rough comparison and the cuffing varies in length, but you still get a good idea of the differences.

I couldn't find a good 555 picture but if someone finds one let me know and I'll add it.

All points stacked:

Organizing my pants and took a snapshot of my rotating collection of “bottoms”.

Featured: Iron Heart, Indigofera, Oni, Orslow, Samurai, and Dickies.

I've gone through most cuff styles but always come back to the Tokyo cuff. I love the chunky weight it adds to the draping of the legs, but it's also the easiest way for me to just buy jeans and not worry hemming.

It varies though how thick I like the cuff. Here it is at a good 6.5 cm / 2.5 ″ - but I also like it at 5 cm / 2". It really makes a difference

@goosehd Thanks. I've had it for 9 years and was even featured on the Tanner Goods website some time ago.

The lower snap button really marks all of my back pockets with the tanner goods "stamp".

I am offering my Brand new and unused Iron Heart N-1 Deck Jacket, Khaki (IHM-35-KHA) in Size XL for trade. Original tags still attached and included.

I am looking for a direct swap for a Size L in either:

1. Black Oiled N-1 (IHM-37-BLK)
2. Khaki N-1 (IHM-35-KHA)
3. Or any other color might be interesting in new condition

Strictly EU TRADE ONLY to avoid all customs and VAT issues.

My Jacket Details (IHM-35-KHA, Size XL):

• Condition: Unused/Unworn (Original tags included)
• Location: Gothenburg, Sweden, EU
• Price: ~€780 EUR

XL Measurements (Provided by Iron Heart Chart) If you have an offer I can take exact measurements to make sure you're well informed:

Your Jacket - approx details (Size L):

L Measurements (Based on Iron Heart Chart):

• Condition: New/or Almost new condition
• Location: EU Partner only

The Deal:

The Black Oiled N-1 (IHM-37-BLK) is higher value (~€850 vs. ~€750). I am willing to include a reasonable cash amount to the right EU trade partner to secure this specific swap.

For a straight swap to the Khaki L (IHM-35-KHA), we can discuss a small amount of cash either way to balance condition or shipping costs.

Please PM me with clear photos of your L-sized jacket (and model number) and confirmation of your EU location. Thank you!

@Domi I have the XL, and would probably look/fit perfectly in the L - especially in the sleeves. The sleeves are easily cuffed inwards though by about half and inch or a little more. The sleeves themselves bunch up pretty fast though, so I end up just folding them in a small cuff. I’m glad with the XL as it’s perfect for my shoulders and chest area.

@AdamJ said in IHM-35-KHA - Whipcord N1 Deck Jacket - Khaki:

@rovdjurstorget If you're going to be wearing layers under it, definitely take that into account. Sounds like the XL is the way to go based on what you tried on!

You were correct. It arrived and I'm very happy with the XL. Living in Sweden gives me no option but to always count on being able to layer my warmest sweaters. In this case even my thickest Peregrine Aran jumper. The sleeves were as I suspected an inch too long but they were easily cuffed inwards.

Love it.

@DeeDee85 said in IHM-35-KHA - Whipcord N1 Deck Jacket - Khaki:

@rovdjurstorget Fingers crossed for you mate

Thanks man!

@DeeDee85 That is the hard truth.

Aside from this jacket, the only thing left in my bucket list is a waxed and lined canvas jacket, and a warm pair of winter boots to withstand this Swedish winter. Then, I’m good.

The N1 is arriving today, I hope I’m not swimming in it.

@DeeDee85 Totally. From now on I’m not buying anything new until I’ve sold enough stuff to completely fund a new item.

I tried the lightweight N1 at Göteborgmanufaktur and thought the XL was perfect for my build. I'm usually an XL in UHF. I could wear XXL, but then the sleeves are too long.
If the lightweight XL was good for me, would the lined XL version be equally as good with the lining taking up space? Or should I size up for the lined version to an XXL?

I have the M65 in Medium but wish I had sized up to L.

Is this shirt available in the work cut?

@68degreesorless I love them. My wife that's pretty fed up with all my jeans always says she loves these for some reason. I think it's cause they look great when dressing up or down, without a belt, thanks to the cinchback.
