        Could this jacket cope with a machine wash? Or more accurately, could my washing machine cope with this heavyweight monster? I just got one second hand, but it has a fairly large stain of unknown origin on the sleeve. Tried a wet spot clean but it isn’t budging

              Cant tell if that’s soiling or bleaching 🤔

              Discoloration aside, what do you think of it? It’s a BEAST of a rain coat!

                Very happy to say that the stain came out in the wash. I too thought it looked like discolouration/bleaching, as it didn’t appear to be on the surface of the fabric. A 10 minute soak of stain removed and quick 30 minute wash @ 30C and it’s good as new. WONDERFUL jacket, super happy to have it. Will post pics at some point

                  And the description on the Japan website says it all: “It's a heavy fabric feeling with iron-like firmness and hardness.” The fabric is bananas, so rigid and heavy af

                    Started pissing it down here in East London this afternoon, so I was keen to take a walk with the new jacket to test it out.
                    As others have said above, it’s a bananas fabric - very IH inasmuch as it is super heavy and rigid. The temp here today is 19C, so I was worried I might overheat. Happy to say that this jacket appears to do the magic trick of keeping the water out, without building up the sweat inside. 30 minutes at 19C in a heavyweight jacket could easily lead to a clammy dude, but I felt totally comfortable for the entire walk. When I got home, I was bone dry inside.
                    Here’s some (wet) fitpics, and the dry boy that emerged.

                    As with a lot of things IH, I probably won’t ever need to think about buying a rain jacket again, (unless I need something that packs down small). And when the weather gets cold, this combined with an IH hoodie, and/or UHF and IHV-44 will be all I need.

                          @jerkules wet do you know? It looks incredible. Good on ya for fighting the drops in this cloak! Wish I’d gotten this one when it was available. Keep wearing it with pride 🔥

                            @Anesthetist thanks buddy, very happy to have this piece.

                            @Twistlock bet the beige is a beauty too. I love the noise the rain made on the hood, reminded me of camping as a kid.

                            @denim-dawg thank you mate, I’m looking forward to colder weather with this jacket. Keep an eye out and you might get lucky to snag one

                                Late to the party but I might buy one of these now. Would be to replace another (brands) mountain parka that’s been in my regular rotation for the last 8+ years!

                                Unfortunately I’m a little confused about sizing: Sam in size Large…would have thought he/we would have gone with medium. How did y’all size this? @Anesthetist, did you take this in Large too?

                                  I sized up to XL

                                    @Boit size up if you can. You’ll want to layer this. I took an L. I can’t really layer. Wish I got an XL

                                      Agree with @Fadez I have an XL, but would be happier with a XXL

                                        @here, Thanks for the sizing advice and thanks for the parka, @Anesthetist. Fantastic patterning on the Mountain Parka. I hope Haraki makes this available in more fabrics. A light weight (SS) version that could pack down small would be insanely useful.
