IHM-02 - Ventile Lined Sateen Cotton M65 Field Jacket
-
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.

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.

tbh…that´s the best fit i´ve seen of that M-65 till today ...you really selling this one pretty perfect mate.
looks badass and that green is just so freaking nice...glad Giles is out of my sizeso how "warm" is the jacket in this kinda weather when wearing a t and ih-shirt under it?...

^Rafa I was just outside for about 40 minutes in 7c/40-something f @ night with the IHSH-72 beneath and was feeling a little fresh, but utterly fine.
I've been wearing it around in around 10c weather with wind all day perfectly. Unless it gets down to below 5c it's perfect.
Edit: Wearing it with something like IHSH-72 in cold weather is warm, but it's not toasty. Tomorrow's high is 9c over here and I won't be taking anything other than the IHM-02.
It's been perfect for my uses. It's heavy/think, but it's not a lined puffy jacket or something of the like.
Make sense?
