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

[Chap]

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…

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?

[dglynos]

@AdamJ I know I’m asking a lot but is it possible to post another photo of Johnny wearing size XL.

I’m rather skeptical about the layering opportunities and comfort…

such a great coat (x-post with WAYWT)

Hello everyone, thought I would make a post after receiving this amazing jacket.  I had a few email exchanges with Ross, he did such a great job making sure I was comfortable with sizing and just double checking everything before going through with it, which is always appreciated with a purchase no matter the expense.  I work in service as well, so I always appreciate and support a business that in turn respects and appreciates it’s customers.

I’m not exactly a photographer, but I took a goofy picture of me wearing this beast of a jacket.  It should fill my mild winter like -5 to 10 range, but I could easily layer this up to go way below, it should drop to -20 at nights this week, so I’ll see how she goes.  Really loving this piece, as always with Iron Heart absolutely top craftsmanship.

It really is great. I haven’t worn anything else this winter here in Switzerland. With a thermal and UHF even -8 haven’t been an issue for me.

Ya I’m really liking it, I love the style and tried the McCoy’s version on years ago, but it didn’t drape right, it’s thinner and just wasn’t looking the part on me, so as much as I loved the idea of the coat, I had to accept it didn’t fit my body type.  Saw this, and Iron Heart Shirting really works for me, so I just decided to order without seeing in person, which I do all the time for a pair of jeans or a flannel, but never a coat.  Really happy I did, also glad I grabbed a medium instead of my typical uhf large.

I am sure I could easily wear this through winter, I love my sheepskin coats for when it’s below -15 but sometimes they are a bit much, this coat can easily look the part of a fall coat and I don’t look crazy wearing it when the temps rise around 10 or so.  But, as my friend says, on literally any day of the year you can see a guy in shorts and a person in a extra long Canada goose parka out on the street, whether it’s August or January.  Just super happy with this, as you might tell by my silly smile.

I love this coat.

@endo:

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. 

Wow this is great! Would’ve loved to have this setup while I lived in Chicago.

I’m really glad I don’t live in a place where I’d need that.  But if I did, I’d for sure NEED that.

And very rightly so. I love this piece.
