How many new jackets do you have coming (and how many potential ones)?

This is a “potential”. I keep asking myself if I can do knits. It’s a HH fidelity. I do like it and the price is right. Liner was replaced with heavy brown corduroy…that’s my jam.

I’ve got a pair of IH N1 deck jackets on the way, one in khaki and one in olive.

I think I like the khaki model better but the numbers looked a little closer on the olive one. When they arrive I will see how they look and fit in person, I will also get the girlfriends input. One will be a keeper and the other will be returned.

I sent the Californian to Dena and she replaced the lining and pocket pouches, adding an inside pocket. She was only able to lengthen the sleeves by about 3/8ths of an inch because there just wasn't much to work with, but I'll take it. She also found some buttons that very closely match the original as one was missing.The jacket will be in the mail tomorrow.

Beautiful work. I was looking at the lining. What is it?

I’ve always been curious about the IH deck jacket. I went with one from Pike Bros for a couple years. It was a great jacket, shorter than most (which I actually liked) but man, that thing was a brick oven! I just don’t find myself outside enough to use one. I have no doubt that if you are doing electrical work outside, the weather will be of absolutely no concern.

Beautiful work. I love those corduroy lining jobs. I am thinking in doing the same but all heavy suede leather at the bottom sections.

That jacket is like a tank. Look at all that leather around the lining. This is the way to build a jacket. Just beautiful quality. The horse also looks so soft and pliable.

Ton,
This will be my second IH deck jacket, I bought the Indigo model off their sale page a couple months back and I really like it! Like most things from IH, if the fit is right it will be a favorite for sure.
I haven’t had much of a chance to wear it as the weather is just starting to cool down here. To be honest, it is certainly overkill except for a few of the truly cold days that we see every year here. I don’t think I will wear the jacket when I am working because I would overheat instantly.

Like @El Marro I have one in Indigo. It´s an XL, and the fit is on the generous side, but it´s ideal to fit over a chunky sweater. These are really (really!) well made, with a super sturdy outer shell and all the details you want (snap closure on handwarmers, inside pocket, storm-cuffs).

Only thing is, I snatched up a RMC N-1 lately, and it´s just a little bit more "cool". Construction and detailing in fact is inferior to the IH, so I don´t really know what to do. Have little use for both of them, but I will keep them over the cold months and see how I do.

I really like these. Where did you pick them up from?

Spotted this and hit BIN. Was under $80. Polo wool HB. Guess I’m getting impatient waiting for the SJC to come in. Looks decent. Quilt liner.
