      Don't worry, they will shurely be made again sometime.  😉

      Mjaa… Having numerous type III's is fine, they are just short heavy shirts, but numerous M65's may be a step too far even for me, and I already own two...

      Oh no…numerous...I have one M-65, would two qualify as numerous?  ??? ???

      Depends….How many type III’s do you have?  😃

        Is a formula brewing here?

        acceptable number of M-65s = age / (number of type III in possession)
        

        Blanket-line all the things!!!

          I have two Type III's- Type IIs though-I may have a problem  ???

          Those are my principles, and if you don't like them…
          Well, I have others.

            If that’s the formula, I obviously don’t have enough type IIIs, either… [emoji28]

                  Ordering the olive in size L but hoping it fits (I'm in Texas so this will likely be worn over thin shirts or tees). I'm an XL in most IH shirts like flannels but at 5'9" the XL jackets sleeves would be awkward. I fluctuate from 180-190 and lift weights so my build makes fit challenging. Most of the XL flannels from IH are very fitted or snug at the arm openings but going larger creates length issues. Anyone have similar sizing experience?

                    The Velcro on these sleeves will allow you to keep the sleeve cuff from passing your wrist.

                    I love this jacket but have also noticed the issue that you mentioned with the small arm-hole.  It doesn't bother me most of the time but if I raise my arm up to reach for something, or reach for something on the ground, that deltoid area snags a bit.

                    I'm 5'10" with a 40" chest and have the medium. It's perfect over a T, even over a UHF.  Only problem is that arm-hole.

                      I have a 45" chest (44 when I trim down) and have a gut feeling even the XL arm holes will be a bit snug from my experience with all of my IH tops. Maybe I should up the cardio and cut out some calories 😂

                        Ha!  I recently dropped from about 180 to 155.  Super lean now. Feels good, man!

                          @Robert Z I think you will be just fine with the L. I am 6' and around 210lbs, with a broad upper body. I wear an L in these and an XL in flannels. My M-65 is perfect over one layer and works over two.

                            I've done some significant cuts in the past but I have a hard time maintaining very low body fat. I'm accepting of that now. Ha ha

                                  Mine is 2 days away, I've been waiting over a year for this thing to make its way back into stock in the right size, and I've got my Aussie Army ACB pin here on my desk ready to stick it over the top left pocket.

                                  Is there some sort of time skip feature on reality so I can get this bad boy in my hands faster or what :p

                                    Xanax? Enough to knock you out for two days may also be enough to hospitalise you, so maybe not the best idea after all.

                                    I jest of course, but I understand your frustration. If it helps, average delivery from the UK to northern Norway is 5-7 days. That sucks, but the wait is always worth it.

                                      Oh, yeah even here in Melbourne it's under a week to arrive, which is phenomenal.

                                      But the closer it gets the more the waiting hurts 😃

                                        I'm in Texas. Shipped Monday and arrives Wednesday. Hoping this one is the right fit.

                                          The large ended up fitting great. XL would've probably felt OK but the sleeves would have been too long and it wouldn't have retained the fitted look. It's minimally snug but I am able to wear a T-shirt and UHF underneath. For reference, XL UHF's fit me snug or very fitted. I ended up ordering the black version too. That comes in Monday so I'll probably take a few pics of both and post them.
