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.

@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.

@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.

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.

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?

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.

@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.

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)

I added the 555 cut to the graphic comparison. I found a photo that almost matches the angle and size of the others. It's not perfect but shows the basic differences in key points. The new color for the tripple 5 is PINK.

So, here's a horror story. Last year at work, I went out to grab lunch and returned quickly, holding my burrito bowl and drink. Using my upper left arm, I pressed open the huge and heavy metal door to my workplace. I felt and heard this sticky sensation peel off from my M65's left arm sleeve to the door and realized they had painted the door with black tar-like acrylic or oil-based paint.

I wish I could say they hadn’t put up a warning sign, but they had. In my hurry to rush back up for work, I completely missed the tag they had taped to the wall next to the door. I felt angry and stupid. I panicked as my brain just wanted to remove the paint quickly before it dried. I went upstairs, grabbed paper towels, and tried to tap most of it off, followed by some mistakes involving water, sponges, and liquid detergent.

Long story short: It did remove some of the paint but not all—perhaps 60%. The worst thing isn’t the paint; it’s how my rubbing, and perhaps the detergent, damaged the fabric and its "sheen," making parts of the fabric dull. I rubbed too hard and "aged" those spots by about 30 years. I’m all for patina and aging, but this is just weird. The thing is, I’ve read that parts of the discoloration might actually be particles from the paper towels and sponge - making it fixable? I hope.

Once my head cleared up, I realized I should have gone to the dry cleaners instead and let the pros take care of it.

I’ve worn the jacket since and felt bad about it, but in the end, I’m always the one telling people who get precious about their workwear and leather boots to just embrace the battle scars. Well, this battle scar came with PTSD and the works—I can’t open the door without flinching.

Anyway, to the question: I still haven’t taken the jacket to the dry cleaners. Should I do that, or should I continue trying to remove the remaining stains with lemon essential oil? I've seen that recommended for stains like this. I'm not as precious as I was 6 months ago. I've let go and don't mind trying different solutions. I'll post pictures later.

@Denimhead-0 Thanks. You’ll get there—patience is key! ️ The only downside to the Billy Boot is that unless you cuff your jeans all the way up, the full beauty of the boot stays hidden from plain sight. But it's a cool little secret.

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.

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

@goosehd I'll check tonight as soon as I put the kids to bed and pour me a glass of Lagavulin. Thanks for the encouraging

My heart is broken.

20 years ago I found a vintage Pendleton flannel in almost the exact colors as this shirt. It was my my favourite shirt for many years, and it had that extra something over it. I received compliments for the shirt by strangers, people touched it and commented on how crisp and perfect it was. That is, until my then girlfriend decided to throw it in the washing machine, tumble dried it and turned it into a toddler's pyjamas.

No stretching in the world could put Humpty together again.

This is Humpty reincarnated. And I missed the train.

Oh me oh my

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

You're right, I saw another photo where the RRL pocket (arcuates?) clearly show.
