IHM-27-BLK - Sateen M-65 Field Jacket - Black

@Brandrea

No problem.

I sized down from my medium western shirt size to a small, the shoulders always felt too tight and I found that after a while the seams contracted a bit and made the sleeves look short. I bought a medium the following year and it’s a huge improvement, way more comfortable, fits quite wide and loose like an m65 should.

@bwscott thank you for this. Sounds like most go down one size from what I’m reading. Some go with their typical size ….

Happy you found a good fit!

@Brandrea I'm glad I've got one in my usual size L to layer up in the winter, but an olive one in M for a more fitted look is definitely on my want list.

[Brandrea]

@T4920 best of both worlds lol.

I posted this in the olive thread but since you’re here I figured I’d ask….

I see in some photos that the front pouch pockets sort of sag down a bit. Do they fold back into place again when they are empty or do they remain sagged out? I hope this makes sense.

Thanks, Brian

@Brandrea
Had this for around two years, it's only seen moderate wear as I tend to only wear it on wet days.

Always keep phone/keys in chest pockets when wearing it. Empty in these pics but I'd say they've held their shape well.

Flash has exposed that she might need her first wash look at these photos..

Hope this helps!

And if you were still wanting to see pictures of the inside of the jacket, here you go!

All very clean and uniform as you'd expect, with an inner chest pocket.

Love how this jacket feels in hand, both the sateen and inner ventile is so smooth and nice again the skin. Understated luxury

[Brandrea]

Excellent! Thank you so much for these.

I’m headed to a local retailer to look at one today!

[T4920]

@Brandrea I doubt you'll be able to say no once you try it.. Happy shopping!

Best Jacket I have owned

[pmx-berlin]

Immediately my favorite jacket.

[T4920]

Took its first wash over the weekend.

(Machine at 40c / Low Spin)

Tighten up very slightly (which has actually improved the way it fits me) and it's cool to see some light evolution/wear in certain areas that I previously just thought were dirty..

[EastClintwood]

Oh wow, I'm actually searching for the green one, but after seeing the photos in this thread, I guess I'll have to try finding the black one too!

[T4920]

@EastClintwood I always have an eye open for an Olive one too..

I'd like it a size down from my black one for a more fitted look to wear casually rather than as a wet/cold weather overcoat.

Brilliant jackets, the way the sateen feels in hand is just sublime

One of my favorite IH pieces
