        Ok, well I guess mine doesn’t look that worn in, especially in artificial light.. the color holds so well. However, the abrasion areas do fade, the pockets and edges scuff..

        This is an OG 02 I believe. It’s my “winter coat”

          @Appfaff That is a nicely worn jacket. For how long did you have them? I just got the same jacket in Olive. Having seen your M65 in Black, I'm wondering if I should have indeed gone for the Black. IH stuff is always tempting!

              Thanks @Giles - It's my wife's favorite piece of clothing I own.

              @jothishan - I can't take all the credit for the wear, as I bought it used about 2-3 years ago, but I indeed wear it a lot during the cooler months, and even rainy days here in Northwest Florida. I have washed it once, and I'm sure it was washed at least once prior to me having it. I love the black, it looks even better with the fading that mine has endured around the lanyards, pockets, and obviously, the cuffs as the black sateen gives way to a very sheen-free grey coloring.

              I honestly would love a Green one to compliment as well, because I believe the green fades equally, if not more, beautifully. Check out MadMonday's photos of his from 2014-2015 time frame on the IHM-02 thread I believe and you will get an idea of how the green gives way to a nice military feeling color.

              Cheers,

                Bad ass coat… It's much heftier than I imagined. Not exactly warm once you get past 10 C or so, but it layers perfectly over my Canada Goose hybridge lite coat.

                  @Giles The dims on this are similar/marginally larger than on the IHW-13-GR (which i have). If the Melton wool version is slightly snug on me, then staying at the same size with this is wise, yes? I'm basing this theory on the IHW-13 being generously quilted, while I assume a ventile lining is quite thin?

                    I would say so.

                    @AdamC any views?

                      @neph93 Yeah I think the same size.  The IHM-27's run pretty consistent but if there is any dims you want very slightly larger we can try and find one for you

                        Thanks gents. I can use the IHW-13 only over lighter layers. It is a very warm coat so this is not a big problem.

                        These are brilliant, but I’d want to put a UHF or hoodie under them. I fear the arms and body would be way too long on the XL. I’m fairly sure the lighter material and thinner lining will give me the room I need in an L.

                        A slightly wider body (shoulders and chest) would be ideal, if that is possible.

                        Thanks for the replies, gents.

                            I have had an M-65 by IH for about two to three years, the IHW-13-GRY. It is a version made of Melton wool with a quilted lining: https://www.ironheart.co.uk/extinct/ihw-13-gry.html

                            I am considering picking one of the up however as a lighter weight option.

                                Amazing piece of kit. They sold slowly however so I find the prospect of a re-up unlikely. Never say never though.

                                    I wanted an olive one of these since forever. When these dropped I went for the black. Not regretted it for a minute, still want an olive though [emoji1]

                                      I can’t wait for cooler weather and I plan on picking up a black m65 to wear when it does. For the life of me I can’t decide between the oiled and sateen. Can someone with better decision making skills decide for me?  Thanks in advance!

                                        I haven’t owned an IH m-65, but the sateen that Haraki has woven is sooo good. I’d go classic. But if your area gets a lot of rain, it may be more practical to grab the oiled.

                                          [mention]sabergirl [/mention] we get quite a bit or cold rain in the fall so oiled would be nice for that. I’m wondering what the temperature comfort range might be between the two because I’ve read that the oiled is “slightly” lighter.  Argh.
