      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, 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.

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

                            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

                            Think it, be it.

                              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.

                                  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.

                                    I'm not the biggest fan of wool, for what it's worth.  SBG denim or whipcord or black duck with primaloft or alpaca lining, for me.

                                      I'm reading that people want a classic fabric with technical characteristics. Perhaps a whipcord made of Epic or a similar weather-resistant cotton would be a good compromise with an alpaca liner?

                                            I don't want to get in to a pissing match of right vs wrong, because you guys could very well have a different experience than I have with your garments.

                                            To make sure I'm not crazy, I checked last night and sure enough, just rubbing the lining on my IHM-09 and IHV-22 results in shedding. I would have taken pictures, but there's just no way to prove that I didn't forcefully "pluck" the alpaca in order to make a point.
