IHM-42-IND - 16oz Natural Indigo Selvedge Denim M65 Field Jacket
-
Hey folks! Long-time listener, first time caller...and all that. What better way to hit the ground running than with this sucker. Handful of initial pics after its delivery. An even better fit than my Olive Sateen M65 - and as for that denim, well....I'm looking at all my 'un'natural indigo denim in a new light.
If anyone has been on the fence on this piece - and I see there's still some out there with retailers - I urge you to JFDI!
My thanks - as always - go to the IHUK crew for their impeccable service and help - and of course to our friends in Japan for producing a true grail piece.
Cheers!

Stellar fit @FullyCanvassed That size and cut work great for you. Good first "call in" and we are looking forward to more as you get wears in on this garment or others.
-
@FullyCanvassed your smile says it all! I'd be grinning too wearing that
-
@FullyCanvassed great first post.. And jacket fits and looks fantastic!
-
@jordanscollected : Thanks - yes, this going to be one hell of a 'long term' project!
@T4920 : yes, if I had a tail, it'd be wagging - ha
@DeeDee85 : Thanks, man....yeah - they nailed it with this one! -
@FullyCanvassed they sure did! I think I’m going to regret not pouncing on this one when I see the evo pics start coming in

@Heavy_blue Thank you, Sir! I’m a ‘Legend’ until I take the coat off

Recieved the jacket and absolutely love it. I’m wondering if the xxxl is too wide on me? I ordered an xxl from snake provisions just in case. I am 6’8” so the vertical length and sleeve length of the xxxl was preferred. Now im thinking the xxl may be a bit better more of a tailored fit while still allowing some layering. What do you all think …
-
@trcavanaugh doesn’t look wide to me at all. Shoulders look great and from behind I think it looks perfect especially where it’s hitting on the waist.
-
@trcavanaugh i think your climate and how you plan to wear it may help with the decision.
It looks great as is. The sleeves sit right and they should shorten a little as the elbows crease. Body length is spot on as are the shoulders. However if the xxl fits you more tailored and you plan on wearing over a t-shirt mainly you could possibly size down.
-
@trcavanaugh I think the looser (mind you it doesnt look that loose) looks better with a 65 mate. Plus, it looks killer on you. 65's need to be beaten up as they are designed to. Mofo'n field coat. Loose to move free in a shit fight. In this case the big blue yonder we live in, and hopefully bullet n bomb free! Personally fitted is to fancy suit wearing for me in this style. And the evo will give it full justice as rugged bomb proof IH wear.. my 2 cents
-
@trcavanaugh It doesn't look too wide, at least from the front and back. And it's got a drawstring to tighten up the opening if you find that too wide.
The length, sleeve length, and shoulders all look perfect. Sizing down would probably mean these dimensions are too small.
-
@trcavanaugh to me it looks good. Also consider what you will be wearing underneath. If you want to add a shirt or other layer sizing down may not be a good idea

@sabergirl said in IHM-42-IND - 16oz Natural Indigo Selvedge Denim M65 Field Jacket:
That fits like a proper m65. Any tighter and it would look off, I think.
Exactly my thought as well. The M65 is a field jacket meant as a layering shell so it’s meant to have some wiggle room for a liner or vest. I own a deadstock M65 and your fit is similar to my OG piece. IMO it’s a keeper and makes me rethink this all over again.
-
@trcavanaugh Looks perfect
-
Thanks for your input , several good points
I’ll see how the xxl fits before deciding -
@trcavanaugh just keep both! One for layering over a tshirt, one for heavier winter layering
