@Qinhan:

@georgeel:

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.

"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…..

[Joule]

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.

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?

[Giles]

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 ;).

I waited to long to decide on this, and now they've all gone! Any chance they'll be rerun at the end of the year?

[Giles]

Every chance….

[tmg]

Do I need to fill in the form, or just keep tabs on release dates? Presumably they'll turn up at approximately the same time, i.e. December?

[Giles]

Fill out the form, but use Melton Wool Pea Coat as the descriptor, just in case that Haraki changes the model number…..

Anybody else have problems with the buttons falling off on these? I noticed 1 loose one when I got it first and 3 are gone already, thankfully I saved them from getting lost, but now all the buttons except one are only barely hanging on. I'm not the best at sewing, otherwise I'd take them all off and start again.

I'd been taking it easy to avoid losing them on the street, but it's only a matter of time until I loose one.

thanks
