Iron Heart’s IHM-45 A2 Deck Jacket is made from a 12oz cotton whipcord that’s been heavily oiled for added water resistance. This eco-conscious oiling process not only grants greater protection against the elements but also bumps the whipcord’s overall weight to a formidable 14oz.
The interior is fully lined with super-insulating, deep-pile wool. A double-action YKK zip front with a button-down storm flap, along with hidden knitted storm cuffs, provides additional shielding from the wind. The A2 Deck Jacket is rounded out with slash hand-warmer pockets, a single flap-and-snap chest pocket, and adjustable side cinches.
Historically, the A2 Deck Jacket is the leaner, meaner successor to the iconic N1 Deck Jacket. Iron Heart have honoured that design principle while putting their signature heavy-duty spin on things.
Please note: Due to the oiling process, this A2 Jacket should not be washed or dry-cleaned. Spot clean by hand only.
