This oiled N1 deck jacket, inspired by the iconic US Navy design from the 1940s, blends classic style with modern functionality. The heavy whipcord fabric, enhanced by a viscous urethane/paraffin mix, offers superior water resistance and a softer finish. Featuring a warm wool and alpaca lining, quilted satin sleeves, and functional pockets, it’s ideal for cold weather. The sleek silhouette, juxtaposed with practical details, makes it a versatile addition to any winter wardrobe.
From the brand: An oiled version of Iron Heart's popular N1, giving improved water-resistance to the jacket. Due to the nature of whipcord and its reluctance to absorb, the heavy oiling of the fabric increases its weight from the standard 12oz to approximately 14oz.
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. This Iron Heart version remains pretty true to the original jackets on the basis that "if it ain't broke, don't fix it". A minor tweak made for this oiled version is to remove the “D” stitching around the pockets to create a smoother look - but the one major, but unseen upgrade Iron Heart makes for all of their N1 models, is to add an additional interlining to increase wind resistance. A truly warm and great-looking winter jacket.
