@endo bringing your post back up as I am taking my M-51 to a tailor tomorrow to inquire about these same mods. Thank you for the inspiration
you won't regret it @Inorganic wearing mine yesterday I thought again how happy I'm having that done
-
@endo well that didn’t go as planned - I need to furnish the tailor with the wool liner, cuffs & hook! So some online research is warranted. A question for you- with your pocket liner is it below the snap? The tailor said that it was a difficult process to remove the snap

yes, don't get the snap removed

Howdy friends!
I’m super stoked I was able to score a used one of these on the second-hand market. I want to give it a good clean, for obvious reasons. Anything I need to be mindful of, or straightforward machine wash? Never had anything blanket lined before….

@Sir_Cuffs-a-Lot I'd give it to a professional cleaner

Tag on this one says not to dry clean - would doing so cause damage? @ShopatIronHeart
-
@Sir_Cuffs-a-Lot I think that is a safe bet, as the label was put in there for a reason, and not all our clothes have no dry clean labels on them, though a lot do, and some are printed no dry clean. I think a good dry cleaner should be able to give you better advice if you tell them about the fabrics and construction

The IHM-34 has become one of my favorite pieces. I’ve been trying to wear it hard when weather and work permits.
Last night I ran outside in small hail with haste to cover our cars with hail protection. My wife and neighbors peer pressured me into it. Anyway, this what it looked like after its first “hail soak”:
