IHM-03 - Whipcord N1 Deck Jacket (Black & Olive)
-
Love your assessment/ review as always Dr P
Just picking up on one of your points about the wooly/ fur lining, I have had my 01 for over a year and none of the lining has become loose at all . Although I don't think that this was the prettiest way of attaching the fur, it does appear to be extremely durable.

Yep, brilliant review DrPat, thanks!

You make me really want this jacket DrPat…and those jeans are looking great. 106BSP?

Thanks. They are BSP 103. They are due for a wash and I'll post an update afterwards.

I've bought some of this:

I should have it early next week.

I'm definitely interested in how this goes. I look forward to your update.

Should arrive tomorrow, I will do the back of the collar first and show pics.

Ok, so I did the collar, and there is no difference in appearance (very slight darkening of the fabric), so I sprayed the fuck out of it.
Its a bit damp but pictures will not pick up any appreciable pigment change.
Its no substitute for the messy hot wax and heat gun.
I will check rainproofness when I can.
If you want the full fat wax effect you're gonna have to get you hands all messy.

Here's a few comparison shots with the Buzz Rickson N1 (click to embiginate)
much chunkier zip on the IH.
wonder what happened to the drawstring? not that I ever used the one on the Buzz…..
I'll have more pics coming soon. -
Ok, so I know that we're still enjoying relatively warm (hot?) weather here in the UK, but I'm conscious that'll be over all too soon, so I'm planning ahead and thinking about a warm winter jacket, and, in particular, this deck jacket - couldn't make my mind up on the original release, and missed out on last years, so super keen to not miss out this year
G, any indication when these will be available, and will they be the same colour ways as last year,i.e olive and black? Also, is there a chance that they be paraffin coated this time?
