Iron Heart | IHM-35-OLV | Whipcord N1 Deck Jacket | Olive
The classic N1 deck jacket was first produced for the US Navy in the early 1940s. Much copied since then, it has become a true style icon in its own right. The Iron Heart version remains pretty true to the original jackets on the basis that "if it ain't broke, don't fix it". The one major, but unseen, change IH has made is to add an additional interlining to increase wind resistance. A truly warm and great-looking winter jacket. For this year's rendition, IH has added the interlining to the collar and tweaked the pocket placement very slightly.
Product Description
Made In Japan
- Designed by Shinichi Haraki, handmade by WORKS INC. in Japan
12oz Japanese WhipcordWhipcord (also known as "Jungle Cloth"), is a strong worsted or cotton fabric made of hard-twisted yarns with a diagonal cord or rib and a steep-angled twill. The ribs of whipcord are usually pronounced and the weft (filling) yarn may be visible between the ribs on the right side. Whipcord is usually found in durable military, outdoor, and workwear clothing — typically pants and jackets. The tightness of the weave means the fabric has excellent windproofing qualities and is performs better in wet conditions than most other cotton fabrics.
