@Giles thanks for the message Giles, much appreciated. This is exactly why I like to support IH. I‘ll fill in the form and send an email.
I am pretty disappointed to have missed this because I need a good winter Jacket. I have a down jacket from Ceccarelli wich is awesome for really fowl weather but way too much for 80% of winter. I had your N1 and M65 but the N1 was a bit too flashy for my tastes and the M65 was just not warm enough. So, needless to say, I had my heart set on this one since, despite my best efforts, I haven‘t been able to convince the IH folks that a wool blanket lined duck canvas jacket is a good idea. Its a great idea by the way
what size are you hunting?
-
Yes checked the stockists here in Europe right away; Burg & Schild got them but not in a size small and the medium would have been a major gamble. I see there is one left at Brooklyn Clothing which is really tempting but I made the error of buying a Jacket from Feinfracht in Switzerland last year (thinking they were part of the EU...makes sense geographically :)) and got slapped with 100 EUR + import costs on a 300 EUR item. On a 600 EUR + Jacket I can only assume it's going to be 200 EUR + on import cost from our dear friends at the ZOLL.
Holding thumbs a small is out there for me somewhere

Let's see some fit pics

@Anesthetist I should have one here early next week and will for sure post some pics.

@Brian-bvdk man that looks good. Did you go down one from UHF sizing?
-
@Mindfulbiscuit @SKT for me chest measurement is the key, going for around 59cm, so normally L or XL in UHF, went for L on the jacket ~ and it’s turned out perfect, it’s possible for me to have a UHF under the jacket (thigh fit)
-
@Brian-bvdk fit is spot on…hope mine fits as well as yours.
-
@Brian-bvdk that looks like perfection! Wear it in good health.

@Brian-bvdk looks amazing buddy.

My A2 showed up today and it is AMAZING. Thank you @Graham for tracking one down for me!
I have to wait for my better half for a fit pic, but here are some teasers in comparisons to my N-1 also size large.Black Serge v Navy Whipcord
Wool v alpaca pile. Two very different animals!
Weight in!!!
Happy to see cozy pockets on the A2
I do wish the A2 pockets were slightly larger both at the waist and the chest pocket. None of them fit my Iphone 13 well.
Interesting tidbit, the wool lining has a gap at the armpit. I havent tested it but might hold emergency cash stash or passport?

@Anesthetist oh man thanks for the update and details. Looking forward to the fit pics. Wondering if there is any “catch” in the sleeves when layering compared to the N-1. Like is it hard to slide your arms in since the sleeves are wool lined? Congrats man!

-
@Anesthetist love the info
-
@SKT I think the lined sleeves being hard to navigate is overdone TBH. I had an n-1 repro from BR and never had any issues w the alpaca lined sleeves. No issue with the A2 either
-
-
@SKT thank you, I was kind of sweating it with some people sizing down
-
so do these fit/feel like the N1 jackets....I take a medium in the N1 and its the perfect sweet spot for me where I can wear it with a tee shirt, but still room to layer up with a UHF or hoodie.....would you say these are the same fit wise or a bit more snug due to the lined arms?
