IHW-05 - 32oz Melton Wool Pea Coat

[georgeel]

I tried it in a rainy day, but with a temperature of 54°F this coat is faaaaar too heavy, unless you take it with just a t-shirt!
IHW-05 is the perfect companion for a pair of 25oz' IH jeans.

There is another detail to note: unlike other pea-coats, IHW-05 can be buttoned on both sides.

Was this really a problem with other pea coats?  My vintage WW2 coat buttons fine on both sides.

So, mine arrived at my house in Philly (I will have to wait another 3 weeks until Xmas holiday to actually see it) but I got this little message from my mom:

"The pea coat is beautifully made like all iron heart stuff and its rather heavy in weight but i guess you know that"

Did you ask how much you paid for it ;D?

[thomasnunnally]

No, she knows my spending habits very well…

"Problem" is a a strong word, but I have one that you could only buttoned on the right.

So, G, do you think this will be re-run next year?

^^ I sure hope Haraki will.  I waited too long to pull the trigger this time.

[Giles]

I think we will re-run, I discussed it with him in Hachioji…..

Just arrived today.  Fit is perfect.  Thanks Paula & G

[FurattoHeddo]

Great pic! Feeling envious though

[JCar2666]

Perfect fit Joule.  May I ask what size you got along with your chest and height measurements?

[Joule]

Thanks for the comments…got a 'what the hell' when I asked my wife to snap the pic (and when I told her the price!)

Size large.  I'm 6'1",190lb, chest is 41-42", and jacket worn with tee and light weight denim shirt.

I don't yet an a IH shirt to state my "usual IH size"...but G and I pretty close to the same size so the large was his recommendation.

[JCar2666]

Thanks dude. Trying to gather any info I can for next time or if any turn up in the near future

For those who might know: how much warmer is this than the IHM-03 deck jacket?

I'd say it's warmer by a bit, not tons, but definitely warmer for sure. One of the main reasons being that there is more coverage with the pea coat. Anyway, you can certainly find a reason justification for owning both, or so I keep telling myself anyway ;).
