@Karol You'll be fine with either oiled one, they're both pretty dark. You can wipe them down with a damp cloth if needed

What is up with that sleeve length?? They made the chest a bit smaller but added an inch to the sleeve when it was already pretty long.

@AdamJ Thanks!
one more question that is on my mind is regarding the care.
In the product description it's stated that it can be ironed gently to renew waterproofing, and I see how that can be of significant help in 2-5 years. But how to reapply the coating in 5-10 years? Where to get this stuff (urethane/paraffin mix) from?

@Karol Hi, I hope you don’t mind me having a go at answering your question? I’m guessing the paraffin coating that IH use is rather different but I’ve re-waterproofed a few wax cotton Barbour and Belstaff jackets in the past and I’m guessing the process for re-applying a coating a few years down the line would be roughly the same? @AdamJ

I started by letting the tin of Barbour wax sit in a bowl of warm water for ten minutes or so to warm it up and turn it into a liquid. Then apply it to the clean jacket with a soft cloth, taking extra time to apply more in the seams, high wear areas and any extra dry areas where the coating has worn the most. Then use a hairdryer to run any excess wax into the seams etc.. leave to dry a day or two then repeat if needed. I hope that helps!

@Karol unless you live in the Arctic you will not wear this enough to get much stains on it!

@Karol it’s all luxurious problems i did a trade on the regular olive one.. so do i need another N1? No! Do i want ot? Yes! Haha! If i would need to go with 1 i would gp with the green one!

It is ~815km to the arctic circle from Stockholm and I declare UHF season open with recent temperature of 1C ~ 34F. Im ready for this jacket from the middle of the week

Wish the sleeve length wasn't so long.

Karol

@DeeDee85 I was thinking along the same lines.
With my old barber the process I followed was exactly like the one You been describing. I also coated an old cotton jacket with mix of parafin oil and wax (30/70), but it’s the urethane/paraffin mix I can’t find any info about.

DeeDee85

@Karol I see… I’m sure the IH crew can enlighten us on the differences, if any

AdamJ

@Karol I would expect any similar substance would work just fine, similar to how @DeeDee85 explained the process for a Barbour jacket.

I have the latest size S in 190z left hand twill type 3 which fits perfectly. Would a size S in this jacket be suitable too? I know to check the measurements but not sure what to account for when considering this has a thick lining.
