@Max:

I would say so myself. living in northern Germany I didn't have any Problems so far. You could also layer wax on it to make it super rain proof.

Yup. Norwegian autumns are rainy and since I live on the coast, even more so. N-1 plus a proper woolen watch cap (naturally water resistent) and I'm golden in all but the heaviest showers.

Yeah the whipcord definitely is surprisingly waterproof. I've never had any rain coming through. I find it even more surprising that people think it's so fucking warm though haha..

^It's not the whipcord per se, H has put a waterproof layer (nylon?) underneath it, I think I read somewhere….

[Giles]

A windproof layer….

Thanks for setting me straight G [emoji106]

I presume the fabric is the same, and thusly I suppose it is likely the color correction/photo editing effect… but the khaki IHM-14 appears to have a more olive tone than the khaki IHM-10, which looks more yellow/golden.  Am I bonkers? Is this wishful thinking?

-A dude who loves olive...

So the lining is 80% wool 20% alpaca?

I found this information on Japanese websites.

[Giles]

Correct, sorry.  I just checked with Haraki.  When they told me what the lining was, they told me alpaca, not thinking that the wool bit was important to mention…....

@Giles - Sorry for being so difficult on sizing

This is together with an UHF.

[Giles]

You think you're difficult?

So the lining and collar are predominantly wool, then? Or are you referring to the interlining? (In the case it is the former that is true, do you know what the interlining is made out of?)

[Giles]

Lining and collar 80% wool, 20% alpaca.  I do not know what the interlining is, I just know it is there to increase windproof effectiveness…..

[Chaintitch]

Is the wool for durability?

[Giles]

Or expense maybe…..

[Chaintitch]

Certain repro jackets, at a similar price point, claim double-faced, 100% alpaca, to include the sleeves - so I supposed the wool was for toughness/strength/durability! But I'm just a design geek, and certainly no expert…

We're not a repro company.  Haraki updates designs to work better for todays requirements.  Alpaca in the sleeves is a nightmare from a "binding" point of view…...

Also the silky texture of the quilt lining in the sleeves creates less friction and helps the arms of my shirts/sweaters/hoodies/etc stay in place when I am sliding my arms through.  This for me is a functional plus, especially during winter months when I am layered up.
