IHM-27-BLK - Sateen M-65 Field Jacket - Black

[neph93]

@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?

[Giles]

I would say so.

@AdamC any views?

[AdamC]

@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

[neph93]

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.

Did I read you correct @neph93 that you now own an M-65?

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.

[Giles]

It won't get my vote, sold like shit…..

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.

[Giles]

No real idea, the oiled version has not been made before…

There's always the option of treating the fabric yourself with either an oil, wax, or silicone based water repellent.

[DrPat]

If you wax or oil it, be aware that you will most likely get some transfer that’s much messier than indigo.  I remember reading about a guy who wore his waxed jacket in his warm car.

Snagged a medium and I’m stoked to be getting my first piece of IH outerwear!  I’m between sizes and hoping it’s not too trim.  Now waiting on a brown truck [emoji3]

I’m an XL in shirts and wear an L in these, if that helps. I can get a tee and a shirt underneath.
