Or use a safety pin at the end of your draw string.

Hello folks!
By any chance does anyone have a size 40 IHM-10 in khaki for sale? Message me here or e-mail joe.polissky@gmail.com
Thanks!

After lusting after a deck jacket since 2010, I finally pulled the trigger on an XXL Khaki. Luckily it looks like I still have a few pretty cold mornings to get some use out of it this year!

Won't regret it @Appfaff, it's such a fantastic jacket. I've been wearing mine pretty solidly since receiving my blue package from UPS!

Thanks @footandmaff ! I'm sure I will be in a similar boat, although our weather is trying to sneak up to the mid 70s already! Luckily, I think I have 2-3 days at the end of the week where it will be pretty cold in the AM.
-
Out of curiosity, what weight/size paracord did people use for the drawstring?
-
I think mine is 4mm thick @Appfaff
-
Good deal! Thanks!

My Deck jacket arrived today and it's awesome! I threw it over a Tshirt and immediately thought I should have grabbed one size smaller - however, once I put it over an UHF I knew I went with the right option.
The sleeves are definitely long, but the storm cuff sewn a few inches inside keep the sleeve in places, especially when worn over a LS shirt.
Detail Shots that I thought made the jacket cool -
Hidden storm cuffs:
Heavy gauge stitching and snap on the alpaca lined hand warmer pockets:
The color of the lining is really a nice touch - a mix between the black alpaca from a few years ago and the beige lining used on most repros:
The Fit:
Opened over an UHF and tshirt:
Zipped up over an UHF:
Overall very happy with it and glad to finally have a deck jacket!
Cheers,
Adam

Looks like a really great fit Adam, Congrats @Appfaff !
Fully endorse your sizing decision (Same as mine): with this type of jackets at least, I'd always choose utility over fashion. The N-1 is the single most functional jacket in my wardrobe and being able to layer is a top requirement for me[emoji1303][emoji1303]
Unless the opening is already snug on you, putting in a drawstring dramatically increases the warning potential
I found (it forms a seal that keeps the warmth from escaping)With that, you won't need any other winter jacket unless you go really 'arctic' [emoji4]
Last comment from me: if you like it enough and want a snugger T-shirt only fit, you can always buy another one later on (I'm frequently toying with this idea) but for now at least I think you got your priorities straight re sizing [emoji4] [emoji1303][emoji869]
Wear it in good health!

Thanks for the kind words gents! Wearing it today and you can definitely appreciate the warmth yet wearability!
Just need to find some paracord that I think would look good with the khaki color!

Thanks guys - I snagged some Olive Drab color cord from the link @Giles posted. Once I'm done using the 5 feet I need for my jacket, if anyone needs the remaining 95 feet holler at me haha

Super over-specced in good old IH tradition

Put my tactical 550 cord through the M-10 and put a barrel knot on the cord end so it would be a functional drawstring without needing toggles.

Picked up this IHM-10 in Navy Blue (size L) on saturday at Voll's to replace my IHM-09, which was stained with chlorine.
It looks a little less rough then the olive 09, which is nice when going out. I will keep the 09 for the rougher activities of winter, i.e. playgrounds, woods or everything related to dirty/muddy kids.
