[Giles]

Ah @sabergirl  you are right, I got mixed up.  I was talking about the long one…..Let me think re: the short one....

[gaseousclay]

Not many.

The IHM-15 sold very poorly.  Most of the people who got one, are seriously in love, a few did not like the fact that it had quite a large hem - (It's meant for walking and running in, not to be cut like a Kimono)….We ended up putting them on sale...

So I would need a LOT of persuading to put my bollocks on the line...

Having just worn mine yesterday, people missed out big time.  I am among those who got one and really, really like it. Edit: just read that you meant that the 11 was the one that didn't sell as well, but my thoughts still remain for the 15. Such a great jacket…

[sabergirl]

I really wanted a 15, but the khaki put me off. If it were black, or charcoal, or navy, or maybe even olive I would’ve moved heaven and earth to get one. The hood is what makes it, IMO.

The hood is what made me want it as well, but I was beaten to the last one in my size by MINUTES

To me the IHM-11 and -15 are limited in that being cotton, they are not meant to protect from the rain. So they're super warm but meant for dry-ish weather. That makes them quite specialized. I considered the -15, but went for a hooded waxed coat instead, which is more useful for me in Seattle.

So @Giles did I read there's a Chance you'd rethink a black IHM-15? That would be the last winter jacket I'd ever Need. But please, think of lined and easy accessible sidepockets.

[Giles]

I did say think, but I'm still pretty neutral….

[browniemcghee]

@Giles, what about using the water resistant wool of the upcoming pea coat for this IHM-15 reboot?  With alpaca body and hood…Sounds amazing to me.

Sounds amazing to me too…....

Alpaca and wool won't be good, unless you can get black alpaca. It sheds, and will be all over the outside of the coat.

Black wool exterior, I would vote primaloft liner, or blanket lined.

Primaloft!

[browniemcghee]

Primaloft gold.  I’m into it.  Center the placket somehow and it sounds like the ultimate coat.  Cozy warm pockets please.

I’d be down with primaloft or blanket!

Mofucker would be super heavy with a blanket lining and heavy wool. Not in the market, but if I were I'd be pushing for nylon quilted PL

[JDelage]

Wool IHM-15 makes a lot of sense. It sounds like a major piece of kit… On the other hand, alpaca is a big part of the charm of the -15.

[Max Power]

Alpaca>wool

Still would buy it though

Definitely is, and unmodified, it works.

But, even with my navy IHM-09 I get alpaca fuzz on the exterior of the coat all the time, and it's annoying, lol! It's to the point that I bought multiple lint rollers; one in my closet, one in the car, and one at my work desk.

Just finished some google searching, and there aren't many examples of wool coats with fur, and I would assume it's for the reason I stated.
