IHM-49-BLK - 21oz Melton Wool M65 Field Jacket - Black

IHM-49-BLK - 21oz Melton Wool M65 Field Jacket - Black

First issued to servicemen in 1965, the original M65 jacket was designed as a cold-weather field coat for the US military. This reimagining, however, takes that “cold-weather” aspect up a notch. Maintaining the classic cut—complete with four large patch pockets and a hooded collar—we’ve replaced the military sateen fabric traditionally used in its construction with a heavyweight 21oz Melton wool. A higher-density knit compared to previous Iron Heart Melton woollen garments, this double-woven fabric comprises 90% wool, with 10% nylon blended in to enhance durability. The result is a super-warm, windproof fabric which, when combined with the weatherproof Japanese Ventile lining, creates a heavyweight M65 for even the coldest of winters.

This one is looking like it might replace my Patagonia down winter jacket for the cold, windy winters in the midwest.

[guiltyparty]

This thing is a fucking beast

[V-P]

I really like this too.

[ZackB]

@guiltyparty are y’all getting this one?

[scooter]

@Alex , is this essentially an update of the IHW-13 ? If so, how does it compare in weight, warmth, and wind resistance ?

[guiltyparty]

@ZackB oh yeah. Had to.

[steelworker]

Oh. My.

[Alex]

@scooter yeah - this feels a little more substantial, but has a softer hand than my IHW-13. I'm not sure I'd put my neck on the line to say it would 100% be warmer, as the W-13 is already ridiculously warm

[BalticBob]

I love my IHW-13. This one also has the epaulets, which the IHW-13 does not. Some
Are for that, some not so much.

Cool to see this coat in wool again.

[Sir_Cuffs-a-Lot]

Dude’s face says it all. He’s not even trying to hide the fact he knows he’s wearing one badass jacket….

[niclas]

Sweet! How does it compare in sizing with IHM-27?

[Giles]

We don't know because we have not got the production run here.

[CosmoSix5]

This is a great design. I'd be in for an olive one. Black and wool with my dog and cat is not an exciting outcome . I requested a pea coat in the "what should we make" and this almost ticks that box.

[Dork in Denim]

Dayum!

[CosmoSix5]

Any chance of a retailer specific version of this?

[Mikhail]

Hello everyone!
I really want to buy this parka.
When will it be on sale?

[Giles]

When we know we will post here. Please read this for more info......

[CosmoSix5]

I bet this is going to be a waaarm jacket. . There's time to spare.

[ÆRϺΔΚ]

Great clean looking M65, not a big fan of those buttoned shoulder epaulettes though.
