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

@CosmoSix5 fits really well, it's a quality jacket probably my favourite jacket and I have quite a few.

The change from Velcro to button on the throat latch was 100% the right move. I don't like Velcro, and having already had the use for closing off the collar I can tell you the Velcro would not have done the job.

@CosmoSix5 Maybe the best fit of anyone in the M65 I've ever seen (and I've seen like 5-6 people wearing it). It really suits an exceptionally tall individual. great choice and pickup

This is an awesome jacket, and slots in nicely between my oiled N1 and serge A2 temperature-wise. Can wear it dressed down or dressed up, I feel.

My only nitpick is I wish it had a zipper pull. The zipper without it feels like a thin wire and isn’t great to grip. My IHM-33 has a black pull and I wish this had the same one, to fill in the void in the zipper, giving a better feel, and to give something more to grab onto. Trying to find a similar one to install.

@Masaz The small leather tab? That can be obtained through @ShopatIronHeart with your next order. I'm sure that there is a posting somewhere on here which shows how you could make it yourself.

@Masaz I plan on adding a pull tab and maybe metal buttons

[CosmoSix5]

@jordanscollected what a compliment! Thank you sir

I've been looking and have not seen a thread. Including the Iron Heart Hacks thread. Fwiw

You guys are totally rocking this jacket. I really appreciate seeing the collar folded down. @CosmoSix5 does the collar will stay down or have a tendency to “pop” up?
I hope this returns next year.

[CosmoSix5]

@Blackgrass thanks man! Stays down fine for me. I like it up though so ymmv

[Blackgrass]

@CosmoSix5 Thanks for the response. This is like a pea coat with a action back and better pockets.

[CosmoSix5]

Few inches of black leather boot lace and zipper pull is sorted nicely.

Must be one of my favourite purchases of 2025. Use it every day at work with just a denim shirt . Roomy enough for a fleece underneath if needed.
