I keep coming back looking at this one.

@Twistlock @endo you really don’t want to see/try this! Unless the sizing’s a disaster, you’ll need ridiculous levels of willpower to resist.
-
I can confirm the Jacket is hard to resist, but sizing is tricky... best for guys with short upper body but long arms and huge biceps

I bit the bullit and bought this jacket and it is one of the best decisions i have made.
-
Is the lining in the sleeves wool like the rest of the jacket or lined satin like in the N1..
-
@Rick62 wool like the rest of the jacket. Full description in first post.
-
@IrishHeart Thanks! I have read the full description, but it also says that the lining makes the jacket easy to take off and put on and that is usually stated if it has a satin lining. This and the lack of a photo of the inside sleeve left my curiosity unsatisfied.
-
@Rick62 understood. Always worth double checking when making a big investment in any item of clothing. It looks a great jacket so hope it meets your expectations.
-
The jacket arrived today and here are my thoughts.
I took size L, same size as my N1 jackets. It fits considerably less tight then my N1, which is a good thing.
What irritates me is the construction of the sleeves and the lining. I somehow have the feeling that I have excess material on the inside of my upper arm, just below the armpit. The is nothing there, but it somehow feels like it. After a few minutes of wear I hardly notice it anymore and expect it to go away with time.
To be hones I wasn't shure if I should keep it, but my wife said "Don't send it back, it looks good and you will regret it later" and who am I do act against her advice.
EDIT: Why is there no internal pocket? The chestpocket alone is to small for a cellphone or passport, an internal pocket would have been a nice quality of life feature.
The collar, well, the collar lacks fluffy alpaca wool, but it would be just another N1 if it wouldn't, I guess. Time to buy a scarf again.
-
Any chance someone can provide chest pocket dimensions?
-
@Marvo slightly too short for larger phones unfortunately (and no inside pocket). My Pixel 7 pro sticks out a good 2cm or so...
-
@Tobi Thanks, I’m still with the iphone 7, which would fit within but the flap may not do up.
-
@ARNC Thanks, exactly what I needed, a regular bifold (say 4x3 1/4) wallet fits. It’d be very unlike IH to make a useless pocket.
