Iron Heart | IHM-53-ODG | 12oz Whipcord Lightweight N1 Deck Jacket | Olive Drab Green
Inspired by the classic US Navy deck jackets of the 1940s, the IH interpretation of the N1 has become a signature piece for Iron Heart. This lightweight model replaces the thick Alpaca wool insulation and quilted sleeves found on the heavyweight N1 with a much lighter weather-resistant Japanese Ventile cotton lining — slimming the jacket down, enhancing breathability, and adding a layer of protection against wind and rain.
For this FW26 update, IH has opted to use a reactive-dyed fabric, the same as that found on the wool-lined models. This replaces the sulphur-dyed whipcord that featured on previous versions of this jacket, resulting in a richer shade of olive and ensuring longer-lasting colour. Finished with a corduroy-lined collar that contrasts the whipcord, the result is a jacket that offers classic N1 styling at the perfect weight for the transitioning seasons.
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.
