IHM-35-BLK - Whipcord N1 Deck Jacket - Black

[Twistlock]

Thanks @ZackB! Hope yours shows up tomorrow.

To those who have had this jacket from previous seasons:

Did you find the whipcord fabric tends to "relax" a little and drapes a little better over time?

Love the jacket and find the medium to be a great fit but I am wondering if it will lose a little of its stiffness as it currently sits on me as if it were suspended on my body!

@Twistlock
That's a perfect fit for you!

Do you mind sharing your weight and height along with the size you went with?

[Twistlock]

@nwills , 6ft 2in, around 205lbs. Went XXL with this one for more layering options , could have done XL for a trimmer fit.

Anyone know why the difference in size between brown and black was so great? B

[Graham]

@Gavin666 It would not have been intentional just various construction factors, made a different times, potentially by different people etc.

[Giles]

Different fabric behaving differently could also be a factor...

Beautiful jacket, super warm. Got to wear it for about 2 minutes before it got too hot here.

@ZackB

Great fit. Is there enough room for layering?

I'm looking at going my regular shirt size in this. How did you size?

Hi,
Just sharing my 2cts as I ordered both L and XL (as stated above).
The L was aesthetically pleasing but really felt constricting in the shoulders/armpits, even with a simple tee, so I will return it (watch the site for those interested) and keep the XL. At the end of the day it's a winter jacket and I want to be able to layer and to feel like I have a good range of motion
In an ideal world I would have the XL shoulders/chest with the L sleeves and opening.
Hope that helps.

@tvaillant75

Useful advice. Thanks!

[ZackB]

@Qinhan I ordered a small in this mainly because the chest measurement looked too big on the medium and the length on the small was good for me. I’m usually in between small and medium and usually take a M in UHFs. I can layer it with a UHF but it’s pretty fitted that way but doable.

I was really let down with my jacket .. I woke up early to get this on release day .... bought in size small ( im a size small in everything ) When I tried on the jacket I thought they might have sent me the wrong size .. The small fits like a medium . The sleeves are all hella long .. and the torso is way too wide ... the length is ok ... but I feel like a 800$ jacket needs to be perfect . and the sizing ( this always happened to me with Iron Heart ) is off and doesn't fit like a normal garment of the same size .

@micahweiss Are the measurements from the jacket you received substantially different from the measurements posted above in the first post of this thread?

[Qinhan]

@ZackB

I'm the same size as you then. I wear small in IH shirts except the UHF, which is a medium. I'm a medium/38 in most IH outerwear pieces.

Just want to make sure I can wear a sweater or something similar underneath if I go small!

@micahweiss

Sizing can be tricky sometimes. Sorry it didn't work out for you.

[Tago Mago]

@micahweiss Sorry the jacket didn't work out for you. Unlike a lot of other brands, you need to look at garment measurements, not tag sizes. A good starting point is this:

The way to go is to use that template to measure one of your pieces that fits you and then pick the appropriate size based on the published measurements. If in doubt, email the guys at shop@ironheart.co.uk. They will be happy to help

@Qinhan I’m 5’10 about 155. Here are some pictures of the small with a medium uhf underneath. Hope this helps on the sizing.

@ZackB

Great looking shots. N1 looks really good.

[Qinhan]

Boom. I went with size small. We'll see how it goes.
