@Sugar:
If you have this, the IHM-01, any of the denim jackets, and of the wind breakers, and a vest, you're covered for all seasons.
And broke as a joke for all seasons too!
Wheeling and dealing matey.

@Sugar:
- I'll be looking out for you on the streets of London, Volcano. The weather here is perfect right now for your new coat.
thanks mate. if we happen to meet, maybe we can have a beer together?
and i'm glad the weather in London is perfect for the coat. 
heard from a friend that Paris is snowing. how true, i really don't know. but if its true, i hope this beauty can take me through it. -
Okay, this jacket is AMAZING. Picked up this AM in 2c/35f temps and crazy wind in Boston. Walked around all day with it, hoodie, and flannelette underneath and was warm the entire day. The pockets kept my hands awesome. Oh and when it started raining, popped out the hood AND the jacket beaded beautifully; Warm, Dry, Functional and good looking!

Great picture. Gallery I think.

Yep great pic!

And the eagle has landed. Tried it on in a rush before work and wasn't quite sure I dug it. As the cold night sets in and I wear it a light comes on. I dig the shit outta this. Was always pretty anti epaulets simply because of their ubiquity among shitty rags… Straight bumbaclot! But it all clicks on this jacket. I remember reading something on the forum about Haraki san's view of the mass repro scene once upon a time and agreeing with the general sentiment.... Though I can't recall verbatim or summon the desire to employ the search function. What im getting at is the m65 has to have epaulets right? Like the type III doesnt have pockets. Just one of those things. That said the attention to detail on this thing, as always, is impeccable.within an hour of wear it has become one of my favorite jackets ever. Better pics this weekend in harsh/fun weather. Pardon the rambling, I'm drunk on ventile.

Nathan Arizona really nice fit a page back.

So, when can we see a fit pics from Volcano- san? I mean a proper fit pics
sorry mate. i just left London and arrived in Paris. wifi access is hard to get when travelling. previous hotel in london apparently blocked access to facebook, whatsapp, photobucket, youtube and etc. they just allow you to surf the internet and nothing.
thank God my hotel in Paris have got awesome unblocked wifi at the lobby. was hoping i'd have it in my room but i guess i can't expect much after what i've been through in London. hahaha. pics to follow in the next post. hope you guys won't start cursing and swearing for all those picture spamming.
