IHM-40-GRN - Whipcord A2 Deck Jacket - Olive Drab Green

First introduced to U.S. Navy sailors in the early 1960s, the A2 deck jacket emerged as the natural evolution of the beloved N1 design. This updated version embraced lighter yet equally functional materials, embodying a perfect blend of style and practicality.

Its thoughtful design retained the N1's proven features, such as a robust zipper closure and discreet ribbed cuffs. However, it introduced a modified collar, cinched hems, and an additional breast pocket for enhanced versatility. The Iron Heart rendition of this timeless jacket stays true to the original concept, showcasing a durable, wind-resistant whipcord outer shell and a cozy 100% wool-lined interior.

Designed for maximum warmth and comfort in colder months, the wool lining extends down the sleeves, ensuring a smooth and comfortable experience when putting on or taking off the jacket. This friendly adaptation by Iron Heart pays homage to the classic design, offering a perfect balance of enduring style and modern functionality. What we love most about this jacket is that it combines the whipcord from the N-1 and the Styling of the M-65.

Fit Notes: Shop owner Tommy is wearing a size Large in the pictures. He normally takes a medium in bulkier Iron Heart jackets but decided to test out the Large this round. You can see it's a bit big in the arms but isn't a bad fit overall. He could ultimately wear either size, but would likely opt for the Large for the long haul. Tommy is 5'10," 165lbs with a 40" chest.
