IHM-01 - Deck Jacket

Waterproofing

I used this on my Ebbets, which is a light cotton/poly mix shell.

Used half a can, and my Ebbets now appears to be completely waterproof, and the can of spray was only £8.49 from ebay.

How long does it stay waterproof?

[GimpKid]

I can't really wear jackets, but if I did, it'd be this one.

Can I put in a vote for next year's version to be khaki with black fur?  That would seal the deal for me.

@J-IV:

It's usually used on camping equipment, and from the websites and forums which I looked through, it generally seems to last about a year, which isn't too bad for the price and how easy it was to do.

OK this is what I know I have "surplus to requirements" at the moment.

Drop me a PM if you think you may want one.

S, L, XL and XXL

Mega - think that spray will to the trick in any case!

wondering who will get theirs first (except G.) and put up some fitflicks…

[Giles]

Mega, no doubt about it…...

[Megatron1505]

[Finn666]

Ample reason to take the rest of the day off imo…..

[Megatron1505]

G, I'm certainly considering " running some errands"  this afternoon.

Rafa, Mini appears to have hidden our new camera from me, I will attempt to locate and use it later.

[Finn666]

Mini better be taking some flicks of you

[Megatron1505]

It's here, just ran into the canteen to try it on, feels perfect. Now I'm definitely going out for a while this afternoon.

[Finn666]

wanna see wanna see wanna see

[Seul]

Don't walk into a carwash now!..

[Megatron1505]

Sorry, no pics until tonight  ;), although I have taken 2 phone pics to send to Mini.

First impressions.

• It's warm, and I mean seriously warm.
• It's much lighter than the BR or MF versions.
• The construction is absolutely spot on, tough does not go far enough.
• It is much more fitted, and less boxy than the BR.
• It feels like it will be my winter coat for years to come.
• The collar does negate the need for a scarf.
• It's my favourite IH item after 20 minutes of wear.

Shame you're on the fence about this one…..

so all in all you would say that this thing is built like a fecking beast, right?

nonetheless i like your listed points

[Megatron1505]

Definitely built like a beast, but a very warm and comfortable beast (if that makes sense), it's a pleasure to wear.

G, I always knew I'd hate it
