      I'm not sure how well it will take, as the outer is a satin blend.

      Made in England, clothed in Japan, fed in America and drunk in Belgium !

          @JCMx800:

          Ordered Otter Wax some minutes ago, gonna apply it asap 🙂 Did anyone wax the M65?

          I know Davito waxed and baked his duck but dunno about this fabric?? Maybe ask Davito.

              This jacket is so awesome.  Not worth the risk, IMO.

                  Same here…don't ruin it. I waxed my G-1000 Fjäll Räven pants with their own wax - worked fine, but the fabric is a lot different.

                    Use the otterwax on a denim, duck jacket or on a jungle cloth cotton fabric. i wouldnt do it on the ihm-02 imho

                    Cheers,

                      OK people.  H and I had a lost in translation moment.  The outer of this jacket is "sateen":

                      Sateen is a fabric made using a satin weave structure but made with cotton yarns instead of silk.
                      The sheen and softer feel of sateen is produced through the satin weave structure. Warp yarns are floated over weft yarns, for example four over and one under. (In a weft-faced satin or sateen, the weft yarns are floated over the warp yarns.) Standard plain weaves use a one-over, one-under structure. The long floats produce a smooth surface to the touch. Also they don't scatter light which increases shine.

                      "OK face up to it - you're useless but generally pretty honest and straightforward . . . it's a rare combination of qualities that I have come to admire in you" - Geo 2011

                        Added some Otter Wax on the inside:

                        Looks and feels great, lets wait some days until the wax dried in the sateen.
                        And yes, it´s a great, great jacket, don´t know if I apply it to the rest of the jacket. Maybe not, we´ll see.

                          UPS man just came by with my M65, but it's too tight over the shoulders! I can fit a t-shirt underneath but not a lot more. I'm short but broad shouldered, so a large would have been to big anyway. I assume it wont stretch at all, so I might have to return or resell it. Too bad as it is a truly fantastic piece.

                          Also, top notch customer service and shipping, will definitely buy more gear from Iron Heart UK!

                            The shoulders are tight on this jacket. I haven't worn it enough to officially say, but I feel like they will loosen up a bit, or atleast have for me. Fit pics??

                              Actually, it's not so much the shoulders, more the arm holes. Fit pics will come!

                                same here, wouldnt say its a problem though. sure the pits/shoulders are a bit tight but in my case; not a problem. i cant do an ih hoodie under it, but i wore it with a woolen jumper and a micro down vest last winter feeling awesome!

                                  Yeah, I'm sure I'll get used to it. It's probably just my usual buyers remorse kicking in.

                                  I'll most definitely get a thin down vest for winter. That combo should be alright for normal Stockholm weather.

                                      I would definitely recommend wearing it lightly for a while. When I got my first mister freedom shirt the first thing I noticed was high armpits I guess you would call it, they felt tight. I think I just got used to it though because I never even think about it anymore. Might be the same with this jacket!

                                          You can tell by the pictures that it's pretty tight. But it suits you well. Hope you find the right size…

                                            For me it looks right, it stretches a bit, well, it feel likes it stretches a bit.
