Thanks for the nice comments about the jacket folks.
Worn out for the first time today. The hem drawstring nicely pulled the bottom of the jacket in and in effect shortened it but without any bunching or blousing.
So IH…any news on those buttless chaps I enquired about?

@gaseousclay that's what I really love about this jacket. It fits close enough to wear with a tee or flannel without looking oversized, but I can wear a sweat/hoodie or type III without it looking too tight or getting that tight pulling on the upper arms/shoulders. But as you say, that's for me, others may well vary.
Bottom line, f'ing great jacket IH!
@Stuart.T Glad you're happy with your purchase. The sizing issue is definitely a personal preference and dependent on body type but also how one intends to wear a piece of clothing - ie. layering vs not layering. I have the od bsp type III from SE and I had to size up on that one to an xl because of the od shrinkage, so it's essentially a size large. It was mainly about the fit in the chest for me, which for jackets has to fall in the 22" to 22.5" range. The od M65 size medium comes in at 22.5" for the chest which is about perfect, as well as the sleeve length and body length. My only concern would be the shoulders and whether or not they feel constricting. Should I buy the M65 in the future I would only wear it in the Spring and Fall since it's far too cold to wear as a winter jacket in my neck of the woods.

PM me…
I think I'd break the internet if I posted a selfie wearing buttless chaps…and not in the Kim Kardashian way!
In all seriousness, great jacket Giles and crew. There's been a small amount of the expected dye leaching. Any advice,? A medium warm soak?

Sorry the pics aren't great. My wife doesn't buy into the men's clothing forum thing, I think she believes I'm in a gay chat room! Hence the poor selfies.
Wait…this isn't a gay chat room?!

No wonder so many of my PM's get ignored….

I couldn't possibly kiss and tell.
I'm going to stick without a soak. Time will pay the usual dividends. Note to self, don't sit on my folks cream sofa.

@Stuart.T I think you nailed the fit. Being able to wear it over a T without looking baggy and layer it over a UHF or sweater without being too restrictive is exactly what I shoot for. Sounds and looks like you got the right size.

Looking outstanding Stuart and Rocket!
Mine just landed and its a pure stunner. Very soft hand feel vs the squeeky 18oz ihsh-178
Pics on their way…
