      In this mild London winter I've worn my black IH-08 almost exclusively and haven't needed my peacoat or N3B. The wind-proofing is first rate and it's great in the wet too. The slimmed down fit looks better than some of the looser M65s I've seen around. I couldn't recommend this more highly (especially at the summer sale price!).

            I've been wearing my black -08 walking around London (first time visit) these couple of days and this jacket is perfect!
            I use all the pockets to carry my beanie, passport, wallet, tube tickets, etc. while providing warmth and wind protection.
            Tomorrow, my 08 is my date to Paris, France.

                    I'm back in my IHM-08 and still think it's one of the best IH products ever made. So practical, usuful and developping a very nice Patina from wear. Would love to see some updates from the guys that own one, will try to take some Pictures myself the next days.

                        This one is something I have also wanted, but the sizing just didnt work on me. Great jacket! Especially the olive.

                        Hoping it will be redone in the future  with slightly different sizing…..

                          Same here, I couldn't get the sizing to work. If they're ever made again in olive and I could fit it, I'd be all over the moon.

                            After two years and three washes the shine of the fabric is gone.

                                I think 40 degrees without much rotation. I got a barely worn black one in the same size and it feels a good amonut bigger. But i think its mainly because its stiffer and hasnt settled yet. The measurements shouldnt change much.

                                  Hoping this one will come back one day! Always wanted to own a well made M65!

                                      Love mine as well (old version)! Washed it a couple of times, did not shrink. If only it was waterproof, you wouldn't need another jacket. Super practical, versatile and awesome looking!

                                        Looking good @Max Power and @pillowPANTS!

                                        This has been on my wish list and I agree with @illo59 and @Dion on hoping this makes the rounds again. @Giles any plans or discussion of a reissue at any point at all?

                                          If I remember correctly, there was an OD version being sampled not too long ago, maybe for a 2018 release?

                                            There is an OD version coming out.

                                            Also, possible this:
