Iron Heart IHM-35 Whipcord N1 Deck Jacket

Description: 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 we have made is to add an additional interlining to increase wind resistance. A truly warm and great-looking winter jacket. Made in Japan The evolution of the N-1 is one of function. It started life as a copy of the Army’s “tanker jacket” but it was soon realised that it would need to be changed for working onboard ships. So the storm cuff was moved into the sleeve to avoid snagging, as were the patch pockets. The original colour of the outer shell was navy, but later changed to khaki to increase camouflage on ship and shore, while the alpaca kept the sailors warm during in operations in the harsh conditions of the north Atlantic. All this led to the N-1 becoming the longest serving military jacket in US history; being decommissioned in the late 1960s hasn’t dampened its popularity with servicemen and civilians alike. Haraki has created a beautifully crafted nod to the N-1 deck jacket that stays true to the form and function of the original because if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.

This is done to give support and strength to the placket fabric because the placket and the fasteners on it are often subjected to stress when the garment is worn. The two sides of the placket often overlap. This is done to protect the wearer from fasteners rubbing against their skin and to hide underlying clothing or undergarments." style="box-sizing: inherit; border-bottom: 1px dotted rgb(33, 33, 37); cursor: help;">placketTwo external alpaca lined Permex snapped handwarmer pocketsOne Permex snapped internal pocketKnitted storm cuffsThroat latchNo The stretch that occurs can be eliminated when the friction within the fabric is reduced. This will happen during soaking and/or washing, where both water and soap act as lubricants. The lubricants, along with the mechanical action of the washer, help the fibres relax and contract (shrink) back to their original length. One of the reasons that dry cleaning does not shrink natural fabrics is that the friction within the fabric is not reduced by dampening.
