An oiled version of our popular N1, designed to enhance water resistance. Due to the nature of whipcord and its resistance to absorption, the heavy oiling increases the fabric’s weight from our standard 12oz to approximately 14oz. For this season’s models, we’ve updated the oiling process in an effort to find a more eco-friendly method. Previously, we used fluorine in the process , a highly toxic chemical that poses serious environmental risks. Now, a fluorine-free coating replaces this hazardous substance with a double layer of oil. This achieves the same level of water repellency as before but results in a slightly waxier hand feel—making this the heftiest version of our N1 to date. 



The N1 deck jacket was first issued to US Navy servicemen in the early 1940s. Much copied in the years since, this military classic has evolved to become a true style icon in its own right. The Iron Heart take on the N1 remains pretty true to those original jackets—“if it ain't broke, don't fix it”—constructed with a highly durable whipcord outer shell and a high-density lining blended from sheep and alpaca wool. Of course, we’ve also given the original design a few innovative upgrades, most notably a hidden chino interlining to enhance wind resistance and a heavy-duty two-way zipper concealed beneath the traditional buttoned storm placket. This creates a formidable winter jacket, seamlessly blending authentic WW2-era styling with modern performance and functionality.

Warp is the lengthwise or longitudinal thread in a roll, while the weft is the transverse thread. A single thread of the weft, crossing the warp, is called a pick. Terms do vary (for instance, in North America, the weft is sometimes referred to as the fill or the filling yarn). and weftIn weaving, the weft is the term for the thread or yarn which is drawn through the warp yarns to create cloth.

  - Two-way main zipper with button fastening placketIn modern usage, the term placket often refers to the double layers of fabric that hold the buttons and buttonholes in a shirt. Plackets can also be found at the neckline of a shirt, the cuff of a sleeve, or at the waist of a skirt or pair of trousers. Plackets are almost always made of more than one layer of fabric, and often have interfacing in between the fabric layers. 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.

Do Not Iron

This oiled fabric will naturally develop creases and wrinkles with wear — a characteristic of the material which cannot be avoided. We do not recommend ironing or steaming the fabric, as excessive heat can damage the oil coating and cause discolouration.
