Iron Heart N1 Deck Jacket Fit Check

[Shaf20]

Hi All

Just got my hands on this Iron Heart deck jacket for the winter. Went with the large as the medium felt restrictive, couldn’t lift my arms above my head and when I placed my hands in the pockets my elbows stuck out so much it looked like I was impersonating a duck.
I’m 5”10, 78kg / 173 lbs a 41” chest and wide shoulders for my height.
Just wondered what you guys think on the size have I done the right thing or should I still go back for the medium?

Looks good to me - down a size would look too small imo. Have you rolled the sleeves up slightly at the end?

 

[TartuWolf]

Looks great yeah.

Yeah! I buttoned them tighter and rolled them up once.
I also tighten the waist slightly with the buttons.

body looks great- wouldn't size down there. However, sleeves are long

I think that’s quite a common thing with Iron Heart as they try to cater to motorcycle riders.

You've answered your own question.

Most of IH outerwear is long-sleeved

Crazy long sleeves. I remember @ton312 returning their truckers because of that. Apparently the trend extends to N-1s.

The fit looks perfect to me, and I’m gonna make a suggestion. I think you should move the waist adjusters back to the looser button. In my experience, those kind of straps don’t really do much to improve the fit and actually end up making the jacket look a little sloppy and weird when you button them on the tighter button.
Try loosening up the buttons and taking another photo with a jacket that way, I think you would agree. Other than that, it looks great!

I had been wearing that way originally. I’ll see how it looks again, thanks for the advice.

I think they should just have two types of clothing lines one specifically made for bikers and one for fashion. Lucky for me I do ride so long sleeves won’t go totally unappreciated.

Looks good. Just gotta let it break in a little

That's good to know. As I'm slim and long and don't like sleeves that are too short, I should consider it.

I like it. Even with the rolled-up sleeves.

 

[Tom71]

Looks good to me too.

No use getting what was designed as a functional garment when you can´t move properly. In fact, a very slightly oversized look is perfect for an N-1.

How do you like your Iron Heart jacket, I’ve been looking at buying one.

Stop looking and buy one. I own two and this time of year they are the jacket I reach for most often when I leave the house.

Yes! I’ve decided on the black oiled whipcord but they are out of stock, hopefully they’ll be restocked soon. I’m so excited for alpaca lining.

That’s an understatement

Same here. I’m hugely biased, but I honestly think their take on the N1 is the best out there, if you want a slightly more modern fit.

It’s my favourite piece of IH clothing, and I have a fair bit lol..
