@Bluegrass:

@zatenm Please elaborate just a bit, how did you do the drawstring??

The better question is:
How long did you needed for this 'job'? .. my time was ca. 40 min - never again

I've done this also. The trick I used was a length of single copper conductor wire. From twin and earth house wiring. It's flexible but rigid enough to thread it straight through. Push it through and tape your paraccord or lace onto the end. Like a big long copper needle!

^ That's a clever method …
I had (unfortunately) only my fingers and an old boot lace at disposal  ::)

@Bluegrass I used a small safety pin that  I attached to the end of the drawstring, so I can feel it across the frantic while I pull/push it deeper into the waistband until it reached the hole on the other side. Still, took a good 15 min at least @Finkster

Just added draw strings to my IHM-09 and my IHV-11. For those thinking of adding a draw string here's my useful guide;

Nice one! @den1mhead

I picked up one of these drawstring pullers from Lee Valley when replacing mine. It isn't needed, but it was cheap and worked great.

A+

@deanclean = drawstring king 

[Bluegrass]

Finally cold enough to pull out my N-1 [emoji4]

Looks great! I still like the IHM-04 best out of all Deck Jackets.

Thanks Flo. I was really lucky to grab it while still available [emoji1360]
