IHM-37-GRN - Oiled Whipcord N1 Deck Jacket - Army Green
-
Makes sense re no fuss sizing. Preference on the N-1 color, Olive vs Army Green?
-
@JohnM Nah. They are virtually indistinguishable. And as an oiled cotton, you have to assume the colors on both will evolve.
Much more important I think the new pattern is more versatile.
-
rydor, by 'new pattern' do you mean shorter sleeves? Any other changes you noticed?
-
@JohnM Yeah, it's like 1-1.5" shorter in the sleeves across the board. The 29.3" XXL sleeves on the ODG would never have worked for me.
-
^ Got it. I don't have long arms, but am OK with the longish sleeves on my Olive N-1 in XL from late 2023.
I wonder if the sizing gets tweaked a little each year (not just this year, but in the past). I remember trying on a Large in 2022 and the arms were very long relative to the rest of the jacket. I figured the IH N-1 just didn't work for me. But a year later (October 2023), I tried on an Olive XL and it was perfect. I was fortunate to have a store nearby (Self Edge) to try one one. Measurements are key, but a little tricky with a bulky item like this.

Just got this in today - perfect timing to test out in this 17 degree weather. I held off on getting an N1 the past few seasons because I felt the sleeve length measurements didn't really work out for me, but this year I think it was spot on. Super happy with the fit. Wearing with a henly/flannel layer and no issues. Love this thing, and the color in person is so good. Also,shout outs Ironshop Provisions, you guys rock.
For reference, this is a size S - I'm about 5'7" ~145lbs give or take.

@jaasonmg Great fit indeed, enjoy it!
-
I think I'm going to pull the trigger on this one tonight. I think I could get away with both the Small and Medium but going to go with a Small which I tried on below with a thermal and heavy flannel and I don't I should be needing much more layering underneath it for general UK weather. I'm 5"7 and 162lbs more or less.
-
@m4xime Looks spot on if you ask me.
(I also have my doubts that you're weighing in at 162 kgs!
) -
@JunkPants Haha good catch, just edited it! Took me a while to do the conversion!
-
Well it's arrived and I'm keeping it! Love it, apologies for the crap picture
