IHM-34-ODG - Whipcord M-51 Type Field Coat - Olive

[SilverKast]

Not familiar with the term front-ranger, so probably not? 

[Dmart]

Don’t know if it’s the coat or the mulled wine, but it kept me toasty.

Don’t you guys over there usually melt your cheese? 

[Dmart]

Haha @Chap yes it’s called Raclette, I love it.

I know… and Käsefondue. Love it too

Near Furkapass earlier this year

Great, Furkapass is about an hour away from where I live.

Is the field coat the same shade of olive as the olive N1?….it seems a slightly different shade of green in the photos

[Giles]

No, they are different, and the photos are accurate.

We should have given them different colour suffixes, our bad….

After some postage mishap I got this bad boy on my back right now, and ~DAMN~ this is a killer piece.

The other thread was right, you can fit an entire bottle of rum on the pockets, they're massive. The thing cuts a spectacular figure, the blanket lining was a masterstroke, reminds me of the affectionately referred to 'horse blankets' we had in the army.

Going to be wearing this thing for the rest of my life. You guys knocked this one out of the park, and well into stable orbit.

I love this coat so much!  It's everything - warm and sturdy like a bivvy, and very cool.

Since IMHO it had some minor flaws I got it altered by my local tailor:

• a solid coatloop
• knitted storm cuffs
• wool-linings for the large side pockets

Just perfect now. 

[Dmart]

Great! Pocket lining indeed would be great and yes, I was missing the loop just yesterday in the train…

[Anesthetist]

Very smart upgrades. Of all of them, the locker loop is my favorite although I wouldnt mind lined pockets either tbh.

Great upgrade… would like to have some warm and cosy pocket linings too.

Dear Iron Heart team, could you please share a pic of Johnny wears size L of Whipcord M-51 Type Field Coat over a UHF? We have exactly the same measurements. Many thanks!

[AdamJ]

@dglynos Yep sure thing we'll share it once taken tomorrow!

[dglynos]

@AdamJ many thanks for your reply!

I want the coat to have some room, especially in the chest, so I can wear it over a sweater or a UHF, but not being to bulky…

[endo]

This morning, minus 2º celsius, having a coffee and a long chat with a good friend on our farmers market - I was so glad to have my wool lined pockets! 

50% pure new wool, 50% alpaka wool - see here if you're interested, was an easy job for my tailor

@AdamJ many thanks for the photo. The size L looks great on Johnny.

Is the coat comfortable closed, wearing the UHF inside?
