IHM-10 - N1 Deck Jacket - 2015 Edition

[Giles]

There is no imperative for our retailers to charge the same as we do (or for that matter, the same as any other retailer).  The margins on Iron Heart clothing is small, sometime retailers decide that they need to charge more than IHUK to make more sensible margins…In the case of the IHM-10, I priced it a little low, both Rivet & Hide and Burg & Schild decided they needed to price it higher than us...

Global retail is something else & I imagine even trickier with the world  becoming  smaller

Yep, no problems with that - it's business thinking by the local stakeholder - and that's o.k. It's up to the consumer like you and me, where I'll spend my hard-earned money. I just wondering about the situation, that all the other stuff in the shop is approximately the same price but in case of this super-fast-selling-limited jacket it's an other situation, there is big margin on top. But as I said it before: we have the privilege of choosing and we're living in hard times and it's not easy nowadays - I understand both sides of the story and relax;-)

One of my placket buttons is starting to come away.. Can anyone recommend a repair place in Bristol or the SW who they'd trust to fix up IH gear?

Yes you.  It's easy:

I'll have a look, but I have zero belief that these pudgy fingers can do a good job of it..

I think you can do it…..

just curious, looking at your fit photos, what's your chest size and height. I just bought the XL and I'm 5'11, 175b and have a 44 inch chest. I think I choose wisely to wear it over a IHSH-51 #bestshirtever

[veeoh]

5'11" and a smidge
A hair over 40" chest

The fit is pretty much exact in the shoulder and sleeves which is probably where the 'fit' comes in just so. If I wear a jumper (not that I need to) or anything more than a thick shirt it gets snug all round.

The sleeves in the XL were just way too long, everything else was fine for a layer fit.

Wore the 09 version to Minnesota  & it kept out the cold and more importantly the wind. Weather forecast- " 8F tonight just a few degrees below the night time average of 11F." And this is before Christmas. Before it gets really, really cold. Christ. :o

Mine's now been across France and Spain with me as well as through torrential UK weather.. Only once has water come through the pocket edge. Otherwise completely dry and warm. It's totally broken in now and so it's not as snug but it's just about right all round. I have a bit of indigo evo on the inner edge too.

So the zipper on the N-1 is a beast, so I thought it might need some wax. I just applied a light coat of Renaissance wax and now it moves like butter. See the attached photo for the exact wax. btw if it's good enough for her Majesty… It should be good enough for Iron Heart.

^ This is true, the zip on the Queen's N-1 works like a dream apparently.
