IHM-10 - N1 Deck Jacket - 2015 Edition
-
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

This'll be what we use…..

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.
Finished product:

Let Out:

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.

Looks great @Cole and I agree it has a less "rustic" look than the olive, one for best and one for play… Every cloud...!
-
While the navy Looks good and it is nice to have more Variation - I still think the stain has not spoiled the olive jacket, I'd rather think it compliments it. But to each his own

Looks great @cole -
I think now that the Olive is your "outdoor jacket" maybe giving it a wax with some otter wax would make it look the part? I really like how Christophe's looks (although his is his own version) https://www.instagram.com/p/BACtIJ5FVVD/?taken-by=christopheloiron
If anything, the wax adds additional dimensions to the jacket and would make the chlorine marking stand out less and appear to be more naturally a part of the evo.

How did you sneak that purchase past the wife? @Cole
You must teach me your Jedi ways….

That sounds a brilliant idea

I didn't. She even encouraged me to buy the navy blue one.
The fact that I had a good chance to get the money for the replacement jacket refunded from the shop which was responsible for the discoloration of my IHM-09 may have helped a bit.
But I must mention, that my wife offered to pay half the price if I don't get a refund, which was very nice from her and, fortunately, not necessary. -
Aww a very sweet and understanding Mrs Cole.. No Ninja or Jedi moves required!

She's a keeper!! @Cole

@Cole perfect fit!
I actually just ordered the last XL in Navy…I can't wait to get this bad boy in. Wish I would have gotten it 2 months ago and used it more of this winter.

So how windproof is this beauty? I have till Monday until I receive mine, so I don't mind keeping me occupied with details of the jacket
well…and working ha.And with a warmth "level"....I have a Schott Peacoat with the 32oz melton wool(which I might put up for sale depending on how "dressy" I can go with this), does anyone else have a heavy wool jacket that they could compare this to? The Schott does a great job in the warmth and wind stoppage, but not an everyday jacket for me.
