one of the reason i like London weather is for the fact your wardrobe can have so many different types of jacket. u can have light weight or heavy jackets and they will all get used
That's the jacket I've been looking for, I'm a 3rd generation farmer in south Texas and in winter time it gets very cold, I'm always outside day and night I've been using a jacket from Australia b
Wish you guys would acknowledge Bronson, l have an M-A1 and their deck jacket, very nice quality at a fraction of the price. Not everyone can lay out thousands of dollars on outerwear.
I found and bought An A-2 Flight Jacket from CVN-6? 8 (the first number looks like a six to me but it’s a little faded!) (CVN-68 is the USS Nimitz? Correct me if I’m wrong!) V-4 059 V-4 018 (From top to bottom!) it’s from 1980, I bought it at my local thrift store! I believe $15-$20? That was about what two years ago by now? It’s in perfect condition and I wear it sometimes. It’s a perfect fit for me too! I wear it with my Patrol Cap from 1990, all the time!
I have both of those Jackets .. Both jackets are not meant for layering to my understanding. Both are great for the fall and winter months . The sizing can get weird with Iron heart that’s the only thing you need to pay attention to. Sizing differs from jacket to jacket . You may be a Lg in one style and be an XL or XXL in another . The measurements are specific to each Iron heart product .
I am fortunate to have the IH N1 and A2. Both fantastic jackets and would never want to choose one over the other, but if I had to, it would probably be the N1 only because it feels and looks more luxurious than the A2. Also, I do have other jackets with a similar look to the A2.
The Dehen N1 jacket is about 1.5X in price for the IronHeart. Not clear why the price should be so much more. I like the N1 for cold weather better than the A2 even though I'm in SoCal.
Could you speak to the collar on the A2 a little more? The strange neck line with the collar seems to be too big to fit some peoples neck properly. Did you find this to be an issue with the small?
i like pauls jacket a tad more but wouldn't mind any they both look amazing. you could tell they are reproduction of jackets when things were made well. sadly they are over priced
You're comparing apples and oranges. The deck jacket is made for inclimate weather, extreme weather conditions which the army jacket is made for milder weather, hence the lack of water repellent and durable materials and insulation.

Something to be said about a versatile wardrobe
Often all in the same day
That is also possible for sure@@marcfischetti5490
@@marcfischetti5490Yes, San Francisco is similar in that respect
@@themancaveclub Same for Seattle and Portland, Vancouver WA and Vancouver BC. Damp and cold with misty rain.

And, the winner is..... whichever one you are wearing. Both, great jackets!
Absolutely!

Hey Kevin- That’s funny, Jimmy & I were just talking about Bronson Mfg. I just got some nice Henleys from them.
@ seriously check out their stuff , very good value.

Score!!
I have the RMC N-1 and the new Buzz Rickson A-2 in navy, both are fantastic. Love IH flannels, may pick up another N-1 in a different color from IH.
The new A-1 in black is really nice!
When it comes to jackets the best is to trying different sizes
Being in SoCal, A2 seems more practical for me. Doesn’t look as warm and is more low key. Which one is more bad ass? N1 hands down.
Waiting for my Black Bear Brand/Y2 collab leather N1... I can't wait

Totally agree!

Absolutely… the N1 is the nicest jacket out there!
Hands down N-1 jacket. I have the iron and resin nautilus jacket, there N-1 version and for under 300 bucks is killer.
Good choice!!
Which color did you get
@@gutszer0405 navy blue
I live in Canada, trust me the N 1 is the way to go. The Alpaca collar alone is worth it.
@@kevinbarrett9615 Absolutely… it’s a monster jacket!
I like both but my first will be N1
Me too! The N1 is at higher price point as well
Great review, thank you. N1 deck jacket it is.
Good choice!
The Dehen N1 jacket is about 1.5X in price for the IronHeart. Not clear why the price should be so much more. I like the N1 for cold weather better than the A2 even though I'm in SoCal.
Because the Dehen jacket is literally a work art!
what is Pauls Hat from?!?!?! I need!!!
It’s from Mister Freedom! Also check out our “trucker hat” episode!
Living in a warmer climate state, the A2 would be my choice. Also I dont like fur or fluffy lining on my collar. It bothers the back of my neck.
I get that, I'm very sensitive to wool, other than Merino...
Could you speak to the collar on the A2 a little more? The strange neck line with the collar seems to be too big to fit some peoples neck properly. Did you find this to be an issue with the small?
No, not at all. The neck construction is perfect! Iron Heart knows what they’re doing.
N1 all the way
Yes, it really is a beautiful jacket!

They are at a high price point but, the design and manufacturing is just so darn great!

I don’t know buddy I have both 😂
Cover all your bases!
