Ok I'll check out the measurements and see how a S looks.

Large - here we go….

Jesus, the black looks like it's made out of nylon in that picture.

[Giles]

That's the shininess of the Sateen.  It's not that shiny irl

Looks slimmer than the first version. Also, how come this is almost USD 100 cheaper?

[Giles]

Because the Yen is getting weaker and when I can, I pass on the love….But if it is a problem, I can raise the price....

[Max Power]

Are there any major differences to the previous Versions?

[superfuzz]

Great fit, G. I'm scared that a S would be too big for me but I'll wait for measurements to be certain.

The only significant difference is that the Sateen is a tighter weave and a touch lighter in weight.  The tighter weave makes it more wind proof and water resistant….

Is it possible to hot wash and machine dry one of these or will that f-up the ventile?

Oh you lucky bastards that can afford one right now. I hope to get a used L in the aftermarket.

@Max:

I hope to get a used L/ XL in the aftermarket.

… just because

I'm torn sizing wise. I'm 6'3", 160 pounds. Would a medium or a large be a better bet?

Everyone wears their weight differently, so I think it's always best to compare IH's measurements (and measuring method) against your best-fitting apparel.

My experience with the previous model is that the shoulder measurement is critical. It was a touch snug on the IHM-02. This may have been remedied with this latest model, however.

Without giving it too much thought, my advice would be to go with a L if you have broad shoulders, and a medium if not. Again, your best bet is just to take a little extra time and measure the stuff you already have.

The IHM-02 is a great jacket, though; and I'm sure this latest model is even better.

It is possible…Ventile will be fine

[superfuzz]

Thanks G I thought I read somewhere that ventile had to be washed a certain way.

I can't believe that.  It's cotton and used in the Military, so I am certain, you just wash it normally…
