In my black right now, my most versatile and best looking jacket.

[Peter]

it is indeed a fantastic jacket. perfect for the cold evenings and nights we're having right now. favourite piece of ih!

[Finn666]

i somehow hate all of you right now!

[seanocono]

Finn, it's coming back, right? So no worries, brother.

I'll give yet another glowing endorsement for this beauty. I can't imagine I will ever find a better M65. Every detail is top notch; and, as mentioned, it's incredibly windproof and warm considering that it's not especially bulky. This is my go-to jacket from fall through spring on all but the coldest of nights in Southern California. Don't think twice, buy the re-run. You'll be so happy you did.

M65 this morning perfect for walking the dog.

Hello! New user here.

I just ordered the very last black in medium. I did some sloppy measurements on an old (european line) Carhartt jacket, but I'm still not a 100% sure. I'm quite short with a fairly "athletic" build, 173 cm and 70-75 kg. Medium should be the correct size, right? For japanese brands (WTAPS and NBHD) i usually size up to a Large, but I'm a medium in most european and american brands.

Also, does anyone know why the Ventile is only used for the lining? I'm assuming for aesthetic reasons, but it would make more sense to use it as outer fabric, as the waterproofness of Ventile (or any similar cotton fabric) depends on it actually getting wet. A Ventile lining would really be doing the opposite, as heavy perspiration will make the fibers swell and make the jacket less breathable.

Also, is this actual trademarked Ventile or just a densely woven Ventile/ETA proof type cotton fabric?

Welcome.

M should be good

We wanted an authentic looking outer.  Plus "Ventile" type fabrics are seriously expensive and the heavier the fabric the greater the cost (and thus the price).

The product description says  - Japanese "Ventile" for a reason.
