IHM-27-OLV - Sateen M-65 Field Jacket - Olive

We were SO close…
I can heartily confirm that I have never used the hood.
Cheers mate. I happen to be a guy that loves a nice hood. Especially when conditions are wet… -
Guys, so what is the conclusion! Is this Jacket suitable for western winter? With the IHSH- Wabash shirt underneath, can one withstand the cold temperatures between 1 and 5 °C? I know this is a subjective question, but just thought someone who already owns this would be able to share their experience!

Really can't help you. Don't have one and I live in country that has much colder winters than that. It doesn't have a thick insulating lining so my guess would be a "no", at least not with just a shirt under. That is only a guess though.

Apologies. My previous answer meant yes!
I wear mine often when I watch the rugby. I find the ventile to be very windproof and with an uhf underneath you should have no problems.

I wear mine as a winter jacket… but my winter means 45-60F

If, by those, you meant these:

Then, yes…

With the right layering underneath, this jacket is fine for a UK winter, barring the coldest temperatures. I wear mine with a merino wool jumper or a flannel and t-shirt and have no problems. The stand-up collar helps retain heat too.

I'd definitely say no, not suitable for winter wear. It's a heavy jacket, don't get me wrong, but at the end of the day it's just cotton. I'm not sure about the sizing on this version, as I own the very first iteration, but the armpit area is pretty snug and it's not too comfortable to layer anything crazy underneath.
It's a fantastic piece though, and living in Sweden I wear it from April throughout November and it has served me well for a number of years

Thanks for the replies! I have a fair idea of what to expect with this jacket, but it is too tempting! I might get this one for Spring and Fall and look elsewhere Winter!
Another question, how does this fade over time? Say after several washes? I'm sure it would look immaculately broken in and look even better than new. Can anyone that owns this throw your comments?

Couldn't resist! Copped it!
