2nd day of UPS saying it'll be delivered by the end of the day and still no sign of it:( I'm guessing UPS stands for Useless Postal Service!!

[Chippindale]

Another email saying it'll be here tomorrow. Fingers crossed

Got it today. Size L, I have enough space on the chest (108cm).
Great jacket! Does it look a bit too small on me with the lenght? What do you think of the fit overall.

[Graham]

Looks great man, not too small at all!

[goosehd]

@SashaDBZ The size is spot on and the length is perfect. It is not supposed to be a long jacket and should fit exactly as you are wearing it.

You have a great jacket and perfect fit!!

Enjoy

@SashaDBZ looks great on you, and length looks perfect IMO.

How does it feel zipped up?

[SashaDBZ]

@Brandrea Thanks. It feels good zipped up with a t-shirt and shirt underneath, which is what I normally wear, no restrictions in the armpits.

So, went an a hunt the last few weeks compare the RMC N-1, the Buzz Rickson's N-1, and this bad boy in XL and XXL (from Fountainhead NY). And definitely came away with the (as expected) realization that the IH oiled N-1 is indeed the best for me. Just more substantial, and the oversized collar just looks great.

Definitely was the right choice swapping up to an XXL for this (from my old L in the old olive drab). The XL also might have worked, but I could tell it was still going to just be a bit too snug when layering. Just got tired of not being able to wear over a sweater comfortably, and wanted a bit longer of a body length. Maybe not the way everyone wants it, but I wanted more of the Paul Newman N-1 fit, which this is a little closer to now. I just like the fuller fit on this. I'm definitely happy this new model shortened the sleeves a bit, makes this work for me.

Looks comfortable rydor and love the Newman pic.

I have the Olive N-1 from last year -- is that the one you had in L?

I wear XL in IH shirts and the Oive N-1 in XL is a nice, roomy fit. And, yes, that collar is fantastic.

[rydor]

@JohnM Yup, the olive from 2022 actually but same pattern. I’m switching to XXL in flannels too for a much roomier fit that can be wash/dried for 20 years without ever worrying about shrinkage.

[JohnM]

Makes sense re no fuss sizing. Preference on the N-1 color, Olive vs Army Green?

[rydor]

@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.

[JohnM]

rydor, by 'new pattern' do you mean shorter sleeves? Any other changes you noticed?
