IHM-37-BLK - Oiled Whipcord N1 Deck Jacket - Black

This oiled whipcord N1 is the heaviest and most weather-resistant iteration of Iron Heart’s deck jacket to date. Built from Japanese whipcord that normally weighs 12oz, this version receives a double oil treatment that increases the fabric weight to approximately 14oz while significantly improving water resistance. Whipcord’s dense, tightly woven structure resists absorption, allowing the oil to sit on the surface and form a durable protective layer without softening the fabric or compromising structure.

For this season, Iron Heart updated the oiling process to remove fluorine compounds in favor of a fluorine-free, double-layer oil coating. The result achieves the same level of water repellency as previous versions with a slightly waxier hand feel and added heft. Beneath the shell, the jacket stays true to the original 1940s US Navy N1 specification, featuring a high-density wool and alpaca pile lining, a hidden chino interlining for enhanced wind resistance, and insulated satin-lined sleeves for easier layering. Designed by Shinichi Haraki and handmade by WORKS INC. in Japan, this is a faithful military reproduction refined through modern materials and construction.

Fit Notes: Shop owner Tommy is wearing a size Large in the pictures. He has been wearing a large in this jacket for several years now which seems to be the perfect size. This is one of those rare Iron Heart pieces that you can buy your true size in, but we would ultimately still recommend sizing up once. Tommy is 5'9," 165lbs with a 40" chest.
