IHM-08 - M65 - Ventile Lined Sateen Cotton Field Jacket

[Dion]

^Seconded.

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!

[Dstauffer]

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?

[Giles]

There is an OD version coming out.

Also, possible this:

OD as in overdyed, not olive drab?

That's awesome indeed. Totally forgot about it. Will be hard to justify it but it is damn interesting.

[Dstauffer]

I would snatch that olive up in a heartbeat!

[zatenm]

^ That'd exactly the plan for me (assuming measurements work out)…
This is an essential piece of clothing

This.

Have too keep my eyes open for this….

[Dstauffer]

Any further info about the possibility of that olive drab in the pic?

Yep.  Being stress tested by H as I type…..

[Megatron1505]

Waxed OD denim would be the BOMB!!

[Dstauffer]

Thanks for the update @Giles , that fantastic and possibly the best news I've heard all 2016! Merry Christmas!!

Any updates, G? Fiending for one of these in a proper Ventile/waterproof-ish configuration.

[Giles]

No news, we are releasing the Melton this year, so I'm not sure how successful the experiment was….

[Max Power]

A few words of praise dor this jacket. Im in my fourth year and its one of my most worn items. Its so heavy that im surprised each time i put it out of the closet after summer. It keeps you warm, dry, stores all of your stuff in the large pockets and gets only better with wear and washing. Some of the best bucks ive spent! Which makes me think about the wool version…

happy to be back with the mighty M-65, now that its getting cold.

good to see you…
