IHM-37-BLK - Oiled Whipcord N1 Deck Jacket - Black
-
I meant to say NOT like the waxed Barbour jackets of old
-
@Gimli The oiled IH N1 is NOT at all like a Filson Tin Cloth Jacket, a Barbour Jacket, or a Rogue Supply (all of which I own and enjoy). Those jackets feel noticeably cold and almost wet/damp/oily to the touch.
The process used by Iron Heart is very different and results in a very dry feeling cloth that never has a greasy hand feel and never leaves any residue. It just feels heavier, a bit stiffer, and very windproof, but completely dry to the touch. I think you would love it!

@SaddleSC thank you yeah that sounds awesome!
It’s that wet feeling I dislike so much -
@IrishHeart thank you kindly. Very helpful info
-
@HalfPastNever just an update..
As always with IH they took care of it and were more then patient with my indecisive ass. Thank you Adam for all your help and putting up with me. You guys are the best.

@HalfPastNever I’ve been following this story. I’m stoked you got the result you wanted. IH customer service could do a Ted Talk on how to treat people and the value of customer service.

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. -

@seminolepilot looks like a pretty spot-on fit to me! The fact that you're wearing a couple layers underneath it and the XL felt way too big leads me to think that L's your ideal size.
Plus, I think it looks great as is, but if you think you'll lose a few pounds post holiday gorge (boy do I feel ya there), then I'd most definitely stick with L.
-
@seminolepilot all the best people start their IH journey with an N1 (though I might be biased). As the others have said, the fit looks good.
-
@seminolepilot looks like a fantastic fit to me.
Enjoy the hug!

Thank you to all for the N1 advice ! I believe it's just a bit thicker coat and cut a bit shorter than what I am used to ... thus the short / snug feel ... I wish all of you a HNY !! 29 degrees out ... time to try this baby out !

@tody Affirm on the JL Chelsea, fav boots and bootmaker !
-
Finally found my forever black jacket. Went ahead and pulled the trigger. I think I’m officially addicted to this brand!
-
how do you guys freshen yours up? ive just been spraying febreeze fabric freshener on it and letting it air out but maybe theres a better way?
-
@lespaul1956
I just hang it outside for a bit of fresh air. -
@Mike1914 I also have the sateen m65 in XL and I went with XXL for my N1 deck jacket. The sleeves are a little long and it has room for layering. I could have maybe gone XL in the N1 and had it more fitted and worn it with just a t-shirt but I wanted to layer up under it. A big winter coat should have a bit of room in it I think but there are plenty of people on here who go for the fitted N1 look. I hope that helps, I’d say you could go either XL or XXL. XL with a tee, XXL with a tee and a UHF.
