I’m 6ft and 87kg, I have an athletic build and could have gone medium for a super slim fit but seeing as I’ve changed my gym routine lately I felt it wouldn’t be long until I needed to size up, I felt the armpits constricted a bit. Swapped out for a large and so glad I did. Looks great with a tee but can get away with a UHF or light sweater too.

Given your height and weight I’d be inclined to go medium. I think your stats are similar on paper to the guy that sells freenote near me. Autuer store on Instagram if you want to have a look at how his fits in medium.

@Mizmazzle yeah all in all not a bad season. I didn’t get to fish much after mid June due to house renovations though. Our first born is due next March so I’ll probably fish even less next season.

Despite that I messaged Chris Barclay for one of his small stream specials.. 6’4” 3/4 blank rolled in Japan, Kineya hardware and a curly birch reel seat from Finland, guides etc from the states and built in NC by Chris. I might get to fish it in a couple years!

Just catching up with the thread and there’s been some awesome fish caught. @Mizmazzle you're living my dream fishing the locations you do for amazing species of trout!

My season was quieter than normal but I had some great fish when I did get out. The salmon was landed on a high bank and was released straight after the photo. It was a good year for them this year which makes a change.

@Mizmazzle rivet and hide are still showing stock of the work shirt version in large. Doubt their stock will last too long!

Received mine this morning, it’s a perfect fit in the large, comparing to last years olive medium measurements this years large had a similar P2P. Feel as though medium would have been t shirt only whereas the large looks good with a t shirt and can get a jumper or flannel under it too. Seriously heavy and warm jacket!

Can’t wait to sit outside the local in it supping pints!

Ordered

Have to admit I’d be a bit disappointed by that given what it has cost you. Hoping when I get my order in for the khaki that it’ll be perfect.

@JoshC are the khaki measurements the same as the previous run or will they be updated?

I’ll be quick on the trigger for this one!

I’m going to pick up this years Khaki N1 so would agree on a black or navy version being a must have if released!

@Turbulence did you buy from Self Edge? Was looking last night and they still have plenty of sizes in the black oiled whipcord. Manchester based myself, cold today!

Missed out on one of these on eBay this morning by literally minutes as I was umming and arring over it.. a sign to hold out for an olive or khaki as I originally wanted maybe.. or just bad luck!

@Inorganic yeah it’s not put me off at all tbh, I’m waiting for a restock of the standard N1 in Olive. Rogue territories new flannel lined stealth jacket had my head turned a bit today but the N1 is what I’m waiting on! Wish I could justify both!

I saw these on the FB group but bear in mind he says it has 1000 days of use.

@Mizmazzle hi mate, I’m based in the UK. Fish in NW England and Scotland a lot and the big char was from Iceland which is only 2.5hrs plane journey away, sadly due to the airline misplacing our bags I didn’t have my weigh net but I’d guess somewhere in the 5-6lbs range for that fish. I had an awesome looking male last year that had me well into backing 3-4 times.

The goldens you get are a bucket list fish for me though, absolutely wild colours.. one day!

New to the forum but cool to see there’s a fishing thread, fishing or more specifically fly fishing has been a big part of my life since I was a kid. Have had some good fish this season! These two were up there as my favourites.

Really excited for this years release, will be my first IH purchase. Will have to see what the measurements come in at to decide between medium or large, going off the existing measurements the olive looks to be a bit roomier than the other colours.

I’ve gone down the rabbit hole now and fancy IHSH-375 when it releases and IHJ-69 in Khaki..
