The best Winter Jacket: N1 Deck Jacket from Buzz Rickson´s 

I had one of these jackets a few years back, and LOVED it. Material, style, fit, everything was spot on. Unfortunately one night I got caught in some very heavy rain and had to walk in it for about half an hour or so. Came home, hung the jacket on a rack to dry. The next morning the jacket had SHRUNK considerably! I would say it went down a full size (shortened in sleeve length, and slimmer overall.) I was pretty frustrated by this and reached out to Buzz Rickson's to complain. They came back to me saying that this kind of shrinkage simply isn't possible with this type of jacket, and that they couldn't do anything for me. I ended up selling the jacket a few weeks later.. To this day I'm still confused by the whole experience, and always wonder if anyone else has had the same kind of shrinkage lol!

i have the olive green iron heart.. best jacket ever.

That's a great jacket! I've got the Freewheelers N1 and that I believe has 100% alpaca, very very comfortable!

Another great review Diego. I tried to get an Oiled black Iron Heart version recently for my son but they'd all gone in his size. Im like you, in that i prefer the traditional colours. I think id even prefer a early blue version.

Sub here! Looks great on you. Also, I like your frames. I'm thinking to try that shape with my next glasses. I keep getting the wayfarer style.

Great overview. I picked up one back in 2018 and loved it. Outgrew it and decided to pick up the newer model. Sadly, quality of the lining has decreased. Blend is the same (40% alpaca, 35%wool, and 25% cotton) but its alot less thick. My only gripe with this jacket. Hope it will be as warm. Edit: i did not get the demotex one. Maybe i should have.

It’s a nice jacket the only negative is the stenciling.. if you didn’t serve it would be embarrassing having to explain .. I have the Ironheart N1 in the same color .. The quality is unsurpassed.

IF I wear a jacket with a USA logo most people would call me fascist....I guess you can get away with that in the UK but be careful wearing it in mainland Europe.
