IHM-01 - Deck Jacket
-
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.
-
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.

so all in all you would say that this thing is built like a fecking beast, right?
nonetheless i like your listed points
-
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
-
Sorry Rafa, but crap flics are better than no flics. I'll post the good stuff later
-
Prettier pics….
More to come when my photographer (Mini) gets home.

Mega, jacket looks awesome on you man! I did a little back search but did not find what size you went with. If you wouldn't mind could you put that info up, as well as your normal IH shirt size. One more question, have you tried it on with say one of the heavyweight flannels or a nice thick sweater underneath? Thanks in advance for your response.

Hey Z, I went with XXL, which is my regular shirt size. I've tried it with a 33, and with the forum hoody, it was difficult to move my arms but the fit was fine
-
Great news, thanks again Mega
-
congrats , mega, fits way better than the BR you had before…kudos
We can do anything

Damn, I NEED one of these!
Mega, jacket looks great on you. How are the forearms on these? Tight, loose?
Thanks Pete, the forearms are reasonably fitted, but not so bad that you can't layer under it if required, just about perfect for me.
The one problem I do have with it, is that it is so warm that I would hate to know how cold the weather would have to get to put a hoody or flannel under it :-\
