IHM-35-ODG - Whipcord N1 Deck Jacket - Olive
-
Giles, I tried one of these one the other day and loved the design, fabric, color, and details. But I passed because I thought the sleeves were long. But it sounds like this is intended in the design. Is this because they tend to ride a little higher with use or because longer sleeves are useful for certain activities, like riding a motorcycle. Not questioning, just interested in learning something, thanks.
Also, regarding sizing, I typically wear an XL in IH shirts, but the XL N-1 seemed big. Is it common to size down in this or other IH jackets? Sorry for the newb questions.

YMMV, I go with large UHFs but picked this up in a medium. But that's just to wear over a T shirt or thermal. If I wanted to layer, I would have taken my UHF size.

The sleeves on most things IH are long. This is so that when you are riding a motorcycle the arms do not ride up too far, it is intentional. With the deck jackets, the storm cuff tends to stop the cuff from falling too far down the hand if you are short-armed.
Some jackets run large some small, there is no golden rule…..

Just got this lovely piece today. Curious how you guys think it fits. My partner said it’s too short but I think this is exactly how it should look, yeh? (Separately, I’ve got to say the quality of construction and material is simply outstanding.)
Solid fit. If you use the sleeve buttons to tighten the cuff it should set the sleeve slightly higher on your hands if you would prefer that. That’s what I do with mine.

I have a 8 or 10 year old n1 and it is the shit.I bought the vest after seeing the jacket.
@SteveD theres nothing wrong with that fit. Ive said it before & Ill do it again-wear a tee & the n1 and forget about it.
Unless you live on the steppes of Minnesota. stay warm this winter Minnesotans! -
Recent fit pic of my 2021 Large. Eagerly awaiting the arrival of the new Oiled version in an XL.

Maybe this was posted or discussed, but thought it was interesting/cool to see Chris Hemsworth wearing the N1 in Extraction 2. Looks like Khaki version.

So it’s true what we were speculating

Just grabbed one of these from SE when they added a bit more stock online and happy with it. Had previously sold a navy N1 when moving down under, but I realised that was a mistake and it would have been the perfect jacket for mild winters here (but nice when often in areas without heating at a fairly cold temperature for a long period of time). Navy wasn't really the right colour for me, having pets, but the olive is terrific. Compared to my older navy (2018 IHM-29), it seems that the same size has slightly longer sleeves and a slightly shorter but slightly looser body. Quite happy with it, particularly the longer sleeves. Will take a pic with it whenever I remember.

@nixage I remember this being discussed in the ‚celebrities‘ thread…
Ahh. Thanks. Sorry, wasn't subscribed to this thread and didn't seem to get notified. Cheers.

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..
