Just picked up an XL at Self Edge SF and love it. I expected to be an L, given I wear XL in IH shirts and most have said to size down on the N1. But XL is a really nice fit -- a little big with a tee shirt but perfect with a long sleeve shirt or flannel.

Appreciate that IH chose not to line the sleeves with alpaca. The quilted satin lining is perfect -- less bulky and more comfortable. Do wish the interior pocket was a little bigger but still glad it's there.

Looks really nice. But can't justify with this heavyweight from years past:

^ 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.

^ Thanks SBE2002. I think I'm in a similar boat with my size 35 (will check tonight). Great pair of jeans, nice heavy duty, soft denim and cut -- room up top but relatively trim below.

^ Appreciated, look forward to hearing how they turn out and how much stretch you get.

Thanks. Was that before any stretch?

I just received a 35 also -- beautiful denim and construction. Same for me -- a little tight in the waist, but should loosen up with wear. Out of curiosity, what does the waist on yours measure (either the IH way or flat across)?

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

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

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.

Alex, I'm considering the 888 in a couple different denims (21oz, 18oz, and UHR). Does IH account for variances in stretch in its sizing? In other words, would you order the same size in each denim, or go smaller for a stretchier denim like the 21oz vs. larger on the stiffer, tighter-woven UHR?

Any idea when these will be restocked?
