IHM-27-OLV - Sateen M-65 Field Jacket - Olive

[Cole]

Damn it, I want all 3 of the new m65 jackets but can only affort one.  ??? I guess I will go olive, because it's the classic color of the m65.

Go grey, only 5 in total, have come outside of Japan….Be special....

Oh my, and here I thought I know what I want. You're not making the whole decision thing any easyer for me, @Giles . 

[Giles]

All decisions are easy…..If the difference between the options is obvious then the decision is easy, if the difference is hard to see, then it does not really matter which one you choose....

Stop confusing me with a philosophical approach.

wow this olive m-65 is perfect. even the shade of green is better than anything else on the market. i want the duck m-65, but if I could have two jackets from this season this would be the other.

Agree!  I thought I was all set with M65's with my IHM-20 but this one I think is calling my name… measurements on the L look to be very close with my IHM-20 (size L)...

Given the bi-swing back, do you guys think that there may be an opportunity to size down on this one?

Bam

I went with olive, because that is the color I allways wanted this jacket in.

Yeah, been waiting for this one seemingly forever too- so stoked I finally got one!

I couldn't decide between olive and grey so I ordered both… One will likely be making it's way back to the UK but you never know... 

Didn't want to miss out on these!

Went with small in olive! No such thing as too many jackets.

Hello guys,

i was on the lookout for an Iron Hearts M65 for some time and was quite happy when i saw the items for Fall/Winter 18. It seems, howether, that the jackets are produced in extremely low numbers and it is stated that they will not be restocked. Am i correct in my assumption that the olive M65 in size L is sold out on the first day and my chance to buy one in 2018 is lost?

On something comepletely different:

While the jacket sounds to be almost perfect to me i am unsure about the fabric. To me 100% cotton seems to be inferior in terms of durability and time to dry compared to NYCO or a polycotton blend. Could someone elaborate on the quality and thickness of the fabric and on its performance in wet condition?
Also, i could not find any information about the approximate weight of the jacket.

Thank you thery much for your response.

There were four or five L on release at 1700GMT (EDIT: 16:00 GMT) today and they went quickly. This isn't unusual and it pays to watch the release of certain items closely if you are keen on getting one. The following retailers will/are also stocking the jacket so you may be able to pick one up still:

STOCKISTS

Iron Heart UK
Iron Heart Vienna
Brund
Canoe Club

The lining of the jacket is waterproof so you won't get wet but the outer layer is 100% cotton so it will and it will take some time to dry.
