    Right - I've been out in mine. It's much more windproof than I expected. I guess due to the ventile lining. Also I was completely wrong about the -70. It fits beautifully underneath. Must have been in a hurry. Not sure about the -72. I'll try that tomorrow.

          This is an XL, I have already sized down from my "normal" size  :o

          I couldn't go down another size, I put the Dark Rider on underneath it earlier, and it became a little tight. I think that, due to the two layer construction and materials involved, it can be a little deceptive in its fitting. Trust me, I could not have sized down, it would have fit like a wet suit.

          Made in England, clothed in Japan, fed in America and drunk in Belgium !

            was still in bed when the UPS delivery guy came. so pardon my outfit. anyway as promised, here are the pictures.

            the jacket is a beast! feels very high quality and well made. those who are still on the fence, don't sleep on this! grab em asap. they are lovely and are now my favourite piece of IH clothing. the green is a very nice tone that isn't hard to match with any clothes which i was initially worried. plus, the original M65 was in green so you can't go wrong with that. 😉

            more pictures of the jacket when im in London and Paris i promise. 😉 shit im in love now.  😘 😘

              btw i was initially considering the Alpha Industrie M65 and im glad i got this instead. 🙂 you know your jacket is gonna last with such high standard quality. don't settle for 2nd grade stuffs, take the best; take Iron Heart. 😉

              no offence to Alpha Industrie but i can't think of China producing better quality M65 than Japan. (Alpha Industrie's made in china)

                  agreed! when my girlfriend saw the pictures she thought i should have gone 1 size down but when i wear them, its already just nice with some room for comfort. 🙂

                    thanks mate! yours looks fantastic too. anyway the tone of the green in unbelievable. from my pictures it might look a little dull and dark but in real life, its got the vintage olive green color tone! you gotta see it in life to believe. 🙂 in simple words, its gonna be a timeless piece that i can wear till i kick the bucket. (provided i remain this size)

                    so unharmed, if budget allows you, i'd back you to get the green! 🙂

                          Adjustment of toggles has made mine a little more "fitted".

                                you'll realise you made the best choice when you get your hands on them. the tone of the green is unbelievable. pictures don't do them justice. seeing is beliving. 😉

                                    1. I'll be looking out for you on the streets of London, Volcano. The weather here is perfect right now for your new coat.

                                          I wish the hand warmer pockets were slightly higher and deeper and the fabric seems to be a bit of a magnet for animal hair, dust etc. (like the IHSH-69) but otherwise this is basically perfect in every way.

                                          SM's right: absolutely spot-on for this time of year in the UK as well.
