What a great piece!

^ Amen

…Make the hood out of Ventile and give it a nickel zipper, and this would be practically perfect* = the field jacket for all time. 

*I could live without the useless epaulettes, and snaps > Velcro

Does anyone know what these respective fabric weights are?

[Guest]

any chance on these making a comeback? i have the duck version (which I love) but also want a more traditional military jacket

[Giles]

They will come-back, probably FW20

[Giles]

Jolly good.

[Steve]

These have now been added to the FW20 collection.

Complete this form if you would like to know when they arrive at IHUK.

Being QC'd in Kojima, as I type….

Drooling over this, but I already own a ‘Nam era vintage M-65. Who knows what my reckless impulsiveness has in store…

[Giles]

Will go live, sometime this coming week…Watch this space.....

[neph93]

Bugger…. this marks the second time this has been released and I am in no position to swing it. They flew out last time...

Same @neph93. I suppose those are the pains of being on the Forum.

True. Add to that the fact I would happily wear about 75% of what IH put out and at some point you have to pass on things. I’ll hold on to the frail hope that they’ll still be around in a month or so.

[Wlemon]

Same, same. I’m going to start a thread that is a support groups and we can complain about what we missed on.

[neph93]

Self indulgent/self pitying whinge incoming….

On the subject of complaints and first world problems, I actually have a decent pile of stuff to sell but the combined issues of not wanting to deal with covid related shipping problems and me being a lazy bugger are preventing me from getting it sorted. Had I done so a couple of weeks ago I may have been in a jacket buying position...

Whinge over.

[Wlemon]

There you go, @neph93. That’s a great start. I’m waiting on a bonus of sorts that was supposed to arrive weeks ago.

On a side note, I’ve always hoped that I’d find a vintage one of these; however, I’ve found that there weren’t many pudgy soldiers back then. I suppose I’ll have to wait until this guy sells his clothes or hope my size is in stock when I can buy it.

Vintage m65 are very oversized! I have a Small/Long, and swim in my usual medium. I’ve had many of them over the years, and have this far convinced myself to save my IH budget for other things, but every time a new run happens I lust after Haraki’s version.
