@Oroccoco Yes, they have been updated with the latest group of retailers who stocked this jacket

@AdamJ Nice one, thanks Adam, I'll have a look around the webs.

If it helps (only a few L left), I just got this in large and it fits perfectly. I'm 6'1/195lbs/42" chest/19" shoulder. Medium would have been way too small. XL would be necessary with a larger chest imo. Really amazing jacket - I have an old M65 from somewhere else and this blows it away. Won't regret buying it imo.

@Giles said in IHM-27-OLV - Sateen M-65 Field Jacket - Olive:

You can't undo the stitching, it forms part of the construction of the pocket.  You need to cut the label in half between the 2 rows of stitching and then deconstruct the label, it carries risks, I screwed up a customer's shirt once when he asked me to do it..

Or get a black Sharpie…

For those who are interested, I gave it a try nevertheless and removed the Iron Heart label on the left front pocket (I just don't like labels on clothes ). Altogether, I am very happy with the end result (see below). Removing it was rather easy, however as the next step, I needed to carefully pull out the black yarn rests - I first thought that there were larger holes, but luckily it was just the yarn. The remaining marks are barely noticeable now, and will likely be invisible after the first wash.

Brave. I would just spend $10 to have a tailor remove it. But I like the labels.

Just got one in L, I am 188cm tall, 84kg, 42'' chest.
I would be able to go with XL too, but I am still ok with layering underneath so all good.
The jacket is absolutely amazing. Top quality throughout, I am so glad I got it!

I am wondering if it's possible to add a liner to this sateen version? There are no snaps/buttons to add a liner, would tailors be able to add them if provided with liner (some third party m65 one) do you think? Or is this model too far away from other m65s?

[svenz]

@init616 I’d just layer it. Sewing in buttons or loops for a liner is going to make it look like a Frankenstein jacket. I’m sure a tailor could help you figure it out if you’re insistent. Personally I find this jacket warm down to 10c with layers.

I worn it comfortably in -8c for a few hours with a UHF and a light t shirt last year. Doesn't get much colder than that here in the UK, so it's more than sufficient for me! Very wind proof too.

X post from WAYWT.. when I fell down this IH rabbit hole, I told myself jeans and the occasional flannel would be enough. How wrong was I

Love the colour combos

@DeeDee85 we've all been through this downward spiral...

[DeeDee85]

@Sir_Cuffs-a-Lot thanks mate, to be honest I think I might have fluked that a bit

[Sir_Cuffs-a-Lot]

One good thing about the clipocalypse is that I get to wear spring-weight jackets in the dead of winter…. avec a little GAH

Love this thing. No secret here, but the IHUK crew are some of the most super awesomest people around. Huge thanks to @Graham and @Bailey for helping me get my paws on my size

[DeeDee85]

@Sir_Cuffs-a-Lot congratulations, like a glove too!

[Sir_Cuffs-a-Lot]

@DeeDee85 thanks, homie! This thing feels like it’s built to last a lifetime

[Gimli]

Anyone know the fabric weight on this one? It Just says sateen in the description
