Unboxing BOMBPROOF Iron Heart N1 Deck Jacket (Thrifted!)

[@88sstraight]

Here in the north I definitely use that tab on the collar! I have the BR N1 jacket, which has been great except every button on the front has pulled off over time, so I lost patience and replaced them by sewing on slotted buttons a la Canadian military parka style. Much better.

Good point! Will probably have a few days or weeks where that tab will make sense, just not there right now

Got one in Olive, great jacket! Love Deck jackets! Trophy Clothing have one that is great also, got one in navy.

[@DudsByDel]

Nice! Yes it seems like there are quite a few makers to choose from

[@telemarktumalo6978]

Great jacket and great fit. Perfect for the cold winter months. Interesting to me that the Alpaca and wool blend lining is really versatile and has a large range of temperatures (my experience 10°-60° F). Great score on ebay!

Thanks man! Wore it today for a short hike with the fam, in the 50s and chilly in the shade. Was great just over a long sleeve tee!

[@gregorybjorgvin6785]

This is great! I was wondering how high are the armpits? Thinking to get one, but if it's fitted too slim, might not work for me :(

[@DudsByDel]

Not super high. I have bigger arms relative to my size and I tried it with a sweater (briefly 😅). It fit comfortably. Also, if you do end up buying, would be great if you don’t mind following one of my links! Helps keep the KZbin lights on!

@@DudsByDel Of course, and appreciate your answer!

Great fit. I own two of these by Buzz Ricksons, the one in navy and the khaki. I love them, they’re great for the cold. I’m curious as to how they’ll come out of the wash once I do wash them. I’ve seen the vintage khaki ones get a kind of marbley patina with time, amd I wonder if that’s due to washing among other things. I do like the blue on blue colour by the way. Very sailorish. I usuall wear both of mine with off-white woolens.

[@DudsByDel]

Nice! Yes I’m not sure but it’s possible this one was washed? The alpaca lining kinda looks like it. Or it could have just been worn a fair bit

[@michaelshearer3559]

Great score, perfect fit.

[@DudsByDel]

Thanks Michael! I’m super stoked

[@skeeter2136]

Hope you live in a cold area that gets real winters. That thing is heavy duty.

[@DudsByDel]

Hey Skeeter! I’m now in North Carolina…chilly enough for me considering I’m from south Louisiana which is sub tropical 😂

[@skeeter2136]

@ Bro I’m from east NC. Maybe if you’re in the mountains it gets cold but not out here lol

[@eastclintwood3238]

Looks like a great fit. I'm about to get one of these. May I ask what's your height, weight and chest size?

[@DudsByDel]

No prob. I’m 5’9” 175 pounds and just over 40” chest. This is a medium. I wear a large in the UHF western. Are you planning to buy in person or online? Most online retailers I can share an affiliate link for you to use, if you wouldn’t mind. It’s a big help

[@eastclintwood3238]

​@@DudsByDel Thanks, and yeah I can do that. I will buy it from Iron Heart EU or Iron Heart Germany.

@@eastclintwood3238 You are going to love the IH N1. Really warm without a ton of bulk. I also have the size medium 5'9" and 140 lbs. Fits great!

[@chrismiller9987]

I got the Cockpit USA version of this jacket. It’s mostly fine, but boy does it run big! I ordered the Large, but I’m swimming in it. I wish I’d ordered the Medium.

[@DudsByDel]

Oh dang. Yeah that kind of sizing mishap is super annoying

[@yankeesfanforlife506]

You will love that jacket …. It is the warmest jacket ever .

[@DudsByDel]

@@yankeesfanforlife506 took it for a hike this morning, has been fantastic!
