      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.”

          Possibly prefixed by “This old thing”?, and finished off with “Had it for ages”.

            This I picked up at Sacred Dog / Berlin. I did size up from L to XL, to have some space for an UHF or a pullover.
            The yarn is oiled before weaving. The fabric feels normal, not at all like a subsequently waxed fabric.

            Many thanks to Shane for the patient advice.

              What are your general measurements? Waffling between an XL and a XXL and it'd be helpful to see where you're at being happy with the XL you got. Thanks!

                I waffle between L and XL, L in denim shirts, XL in UHFs.
                I tried on the deck jacket, I would also prefer XL.

                    I'm XXL in most shirts work and western , some western have to go XXXL as some are just smaller.
                    Tried to XL in this length etc was fine but felt like a straight jacket around the upper chest , have the XXL coming today. Another really nice piece in the flesh that pics again hard to capture the subtle details of this beauty.

                      @John:

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

                      Also curious about this, in addition to the weight of the IHM-27 sateen.

                        I did buy the black version of this and am not disappointed in the least.  Still not sure of the weight, but I’d guess somewhere between 14-17 oz comparing to my denim & duck jacket & vest.  However, it is lined which adds to the weight.  This a great jacket IMO - glad I pulled the trigger.

                        The black was posted with slightly smaller dimensions than the olive.  I normally take a small in UHFs and found the size xs in this to be perfect - fitting comfortably over a UHF and still providing a slim fit, if that’s the look you’re going for - or can possibly size up to UHF size for a looser look.

                        No one’s happiness but my own is in my power to achieve or to destroy.

                          A standard Ventile L24 fabric is 200gsm, which is almost 6 ounces.  Private White uses 250gsm Ventile for their rainwear, which is slightly over 7.

                          Waxed cottons for outerwear are usually between 6oz. on the lighter side (PWVC's current Twin Track), 8oz. towards the middle (3sixteen's Stadium jacket), 10oz. moving towards the heavier side (Corridor NYC's x Division Road's Martexin Army duck M-65), or 12oz. at the heaviest (PWVC x Division Road's Archive Twin Track in British Millerain).

                          So your guess is probably spot-on, assuming the waxed fabric Haraki-san chose is middle-of-the-road.

                            Size Large. It's a keeper 🙂

                              @luxman  Fantastic fit.  What are your impressions?

                                Say…  Anyone got a field report of how this jacket stood up to a pretty good drenching?  I've been looking forwards to that new olive moleskin Type III since December, but now that it's nearly here I'm finding myself potentially swinging more towards this M-65 owing to its practicality for shoulder seasons in the Midwest.

                                Just wondering how practical it actually is in the rain.  Hoping someone can chime in!

                                  Sorry my friend, have not been out in it in prolonged rain to find out.  For the odd shower it has been fine but can not tell you what it would be like after a major soaking.

                                      @nurunuru  It's a really good and practical jacket and not a stylish blender. The windproofness is very good, I was able to test that. Unfortunately I have no experience in heavy rain. I haven't even used the hood yet  Sorry.

                                        Not sure about rain, we don't really get a lot of it in my part of Canada. Holds up fine in light, wet snow though - although you need to layer to stay warm.

                                        I'm also looking at the olive moleskin Type III. It should be a nice jacket for the cooler weather in the spring, summer, fall.

                                          I recently (end of 2022) got my hands on one of those, XL is still a bit tight but i am working on it. But yet it looks good and sharp, hope that with time i will shrinkt to fit is the jacket a bit better.
                                          But still a very nice jacket, i enjoy the high collar and those side pockets are amazing, simple but yet super comfortable and a natural feel for the hands.
