IHM-39-OLV - Military Serge A2 Deck Jacket - Olive

IHM-39-OLV - Military Serge A2 Deck Jacket - Olive

First issued to US Navy sailors in the early 1960s, the A2 deck jacket was the natural successor to the iconic N1, utilising lighter-weight but equally functional materials. Its design incorporated the N1’s tried and tested features such as a heavy-duty zipper and hidden storm cuffs - but with a modified collar, hemline cinches and an added breast pocket for versatility. This Iron Heart take on a classic jacket remains very true to the original design, constructed with a tough 11oz military serge outer shell and a soft 100% wool lined interior. The lining extends all the way down the sleeves for maximum warmth and comfort during the colder months, whilst still ensuring a smooth feel when putting on and taking off the jacket.

Will we be able to pimp the snap on the breast pocket?

[Alex]

I think so, but would need to double check tomorrow

[Bigdog]

@Alex Thank you

[AdamC]

@Bigdog you certainly will be able to - anything smaller than the current snap may reveal a slight mark, but some Good Art bling would go nicely

[Bigdog]

@AdamC Great news, thank you! I’m looking forward to getting this pimped.

[Peter Germann]

Looking forward to this one!

[Iron Heart Germany]

This A-2 Deck jacket is very close to the original, only better, with better zipper, better quality and the Military Serge Olive is the perfect fabric for this jacket too. We can't wait for it to be delivered and I suspect it will fly out of the store. But one Large is definitely for me...

[doubletee]

Wow this looks amazing

I’m struggling to make sense of the measurements vs what the crew are wearing on this one. In case it helps others too, would the crew like to share what influenced their decisions? Also if anyone has time, how do the final measurements compare with the sample?

[AdamJ]

@ARNC I was swimming in a Medium. The small was roomy enough to layer under too

[Bailey]

@ARNC I could wear a Medium but arms were a little too baggy for my own personal preference. Small has enough room for a light jumper underneath and a bit more fitted how I'd like it to be worn.

[Ross]

@ARNC I found that these followed the sizing principle of a lot of the IHMs where you want to go down a size from your 'normal' shirt size. In my particular case I've lost some weight recently so found the XL to be the best fit, although I would still fit in the XXL without being overwhelmed by it.

[SaddleSC]

I just received my A2 (in Whipcord) with similar measurements and I stuck to my regular IH jacket sizing. I wear a Large in UHF and Westerns so I ordered the Medium in the A2 and it is exactly what I was looking for. I also own a Medium N1 from Iron Heart and the A2 certainly has a bit more room for layering but still looks great over a tee shirt with perfect overall length and sleeve length. I am very happy with it so far! I will post pics and a review in the other thread in the next few days...it is a great all-around jacket and I find it more versatile than the N1 because it flies a bit more under the radar.

[Tago Mago]

@SaddleSC I second this. Ordered the Whipcord in XXL, my regular UHF size. Way too big. Returned and got an XL, which fits nicely with room for layering @ARNC

[ARNC]

Thanks @AdamJ @Bailey @Ross (excellent as always) and @SaddleSC @Tago-Mago. I’m usually L in work shirts including UHF, occasionally XL and my N1 is L. Looks like it might make sense to go M (something I haven’t done for decades).

[AdamJ]

@ARNC No worries man! Sizing is a minefield, which is why we all try on every product we launch!
