      Same for the sateen?

      No, the sateen versions will be traditional pouch pockets.

        Thanks. Going to be a tough decision between the two. I think it would be a super versatile coat for me here in the Midwest.

          I suspect these oiled versions will be excellent in wetter climates, however I am a fan of the traditional design. I have a Melton wool M65 and a black sateen one, so an oiled olive one wouldn’t be an irresponsible purchase, right? [emoji51]

                Is the material for this jacket designed to be re-coated with an oil or wax based treatment?

                  I suppose you could reapply oil or wax if you wish, but that was not the intent.

                    Thanks @Alex, I am looking forward to buying this jacket once available, just will let someone else experiment with re-coating first.

                      The thing is, that this is not coated, the fabric is impregnated with oil before construction.

                        Just got to wear my IHM-27-OLV for the first time this year! Woohoo! I know it's not quite identical to this new one, but it's close enough for me to feel like I can recommend this to people on the fence. UHF + M65 is a great combo for crisp fall mornings!

                          What is the weight of the cotton - 12oz, 14oz, 17oz, ??  An earlier post stated lighter than sateen, but exactly how heavy is that?  Thanks!

                                  Hey all, love this jacket, and I'm looking for some advice on fit.  I usually wear Large IH UHF.  I'd be wearing this jacket with a tshirt and a UHF underneath.  Is large going to do it for me, or would it make more sense to move up to an XL?  Thoughts?

                                    Large for sure. I’m an XL in shirts and would wear large in this.

                                          I have the black sateen, so I had no intention of purchasing this one. Then I tried it on…and was unable to convince myself it wasn't worth adding this one as well. I love the weight, it's a bit lighter than the sateen, and I find the fit really works well for me. I'm usually a XXXL in the UHF, and a XXL in any of the jackets - this one was similar to the other coats as the XXL fit me perfectly.

                                          Not sure I'll be able to keep a straight face when the wife looks at it and says "Is that new?..."

                                            The only right answer is, “No.”
