@Chris:

I swear, Haraki-san always makes everything look cooler.

My thoughts exactly. 

[Graeme]

This jacket is awesome, I'm just worried it'll make me look like a dodgy mercenary from an eighties action flick.

I'm off to practice my Eastern European accent…

Modded for accuracy.

[manufc10]

exactly, what's wrong with looking like that?!

[cander49]

Omg. Think that about sums up my thoughts here.

Hey just out of curiosity, is it possible to change the lining pattern to green or camo?

[UnTucked]

Olive drab would be cool, but camo would make it seem like a novelty piece….. and at $1,600, I don't think the good IH folks will want to make it any more difficult to sell

[Giles]

It's not poss to spec another lining….

[Graeme]

One thing that I'd (belatedly) suggest is swapping the Velcro on the cuff adjusters and collar with snaps, like on the overdyed M-65.

I think that snaps would be more durable, and probably fit with a leather jacket better.

[Giles]

I know.  For some reason, H really dislikes snaps on this type of jacket….

[Bill C]

velcro would be a practical advantage if your hands are cold(?)

I fully agree with Graeme…and I only bought the overdyed M-65 BECAUSE it had snaps. Losing the velcro tipped me over.

• 3 (or 4) on snaps over the Velcro

same. I bought the ihm-20 because of the snaps and because it was overdyed. not saying velco has disadvantages but the ihm-20 had the bells and whistles that tipped me over

Hey @Giles , have you gotten any samples of the leather with the shine taken down yet? I'm curious to see what that will look like.

[Giles]

Not yet, I will see if @Alex and I can snag a sample when we are in Kojima in a couple of weeks…..

[UnTucked]

I forgot about this beauty…

I thought I could be fine after the kersey...

Everytime I try to leave, something keeps pulling me back!

Awesome. Thanks! Really curious on this one…

Lol.  This should be IH's motto
