IHW-13-BLK - Black Selvedge Melton Wool M65 Field Jacket

[Giles]

It fits snugger than a Pea Coat and has drawstring options…..

[JDelage]

Is the hood removable? If so, how is the collar when the hood is removed (does it still stand)?

[neph93]

I have the GRY. The hood is sewn in. The collar is not dependent on the hood to stand up. The Melton wool is very substantial and holds its own weight. You can also fold the collar down with the hood without a problem should you wish it.

You could cut the hood out if it really offends, but it does not really interfere with the collar as it is pretty lightweight ripstop

Does anyone know what material the lining/quilting was on these?

Quilted Satin Body and Sleeve Linings…

Well done Dennis, I could not remember where that was.

Hey! I was fortunate to pick this up on the second hand market. Damn, what a jacket!

One question, the little leather pull tab is missing on the zipper; obviously this doesn't really matter but it's convenient to have when pull the zipper with gloves on. Does anyone have a suggestion on alternatives or if one could get one of these?

@BalticBob sent you a message. I have a few I removed from a jacket, doubt I’ll ever use. More than happy to put one in an envelope and send it your way

[Giles]

They are SUPER easy to make. You need a bit of leather and a scalpel. I used to make them in a variety of colours for my stuff...
