I don’t have the dehen but it does have a waxed shell so it will wear totally differently. Ih is soft and less thick.

Ah my bad. I’ve been reading forums too long. I assumed “wiwt” meant “what I wore today”.

You have a great eye for picking the best stuff, sir. Lovely jacket.I’ve just purchased this vintage N1 Deck jacket from the states dated from 40’s, it’s just arrived today. The fit is great! I’m very happy with it, I’ve been on the lookout for one for a while.

Not sure if it’s the warmest but my IH N-1 is plenty warm for me. Temperature in the low 40s here this morning and I wore it out over a T-shirt, kept me nice and toasty.

Yep, I'm wearing a long sleeve henley with a tee underneath and my IH N-1 is perfectly warm at -15C this morning.

Looking good man!
Perfect fit and that olive is such a great color.
I ordered this color as well as the tan when they dropped on IH a few weeks ago. My plan was to try them both on and keep the one that fit and looked best. It was a really tough decision, they both looked great and in the end my girlfriend was the tiebreaker. I kept the tan and sent the olive back. Still wondering if I made the right decision there…

Does it count as a Deck jacket? My Black bear brand x Y2 N1. Very comfy and keeps me warm during my trip in cold Austria.

That sir is the Rolls Royce of deck jackets!
Thanks! How does that saying go... 2 is 1, 1 is none?

2 is 1, 1 is none, and 3 is fun!
Doesn’t matter if it counts or not, it’s a stellar jacket and looks great on you.
I just picked up a Schott N-1 deck jacket with duck down insulated lining. It’s super-warm, very comfortable and has a great mix of classic and updated styling. Nor are they overly expensive. They’re available in green or blue. Highly recommended!

Great to see you back here Thor, and a very nice jacket to boot!
Thank you, friend. I’ve been wearing more deck jackets and textile jackets in general lately. Great choice for winter wear.
Awesome thread
Helped me a lot, as I have been after an N1 for ages, sadly for us chunky chaps, I'm a 52'' chest, finding decent jackets like this that cater for, and fit the bigger blokes is difficult, and narrows down the choice considerably, so I ended up with a Pike Brothers N1, in XXXL, I also got their waxed version for a bit more weather proofing, as I also use it when riding my chop, and I have to say I love it, awesome jacket. I found the quality. materials and construction brilliant, very tough, maybe a bit over engineered, as previously commented on, but to be honest that was exactly what I wanted, and it is also a superb fit for me. Now I am buy no means a connoisseur on the N1, but from the research I have done, it appears to be a very faithful copy, I'm certainly very happy with it. So thanks to all for the advice, experience, input, etc.

If I were to get another N-1, this would be the one I would get. I have a down Canada Goose parka for wear on cold Sunday afternoons at NFL games. Down is my top choice for warmth, and this would be my top choice for an N-1.
You did well, Thor.
