Did I read you correct @neph93 that you now own an M-65?

I have had an M-65 by IH for about two to three years, the IHW-13-GRY. It is a version made of Melton wool with a quilted lining: https://www.ironheart.co.uk/extinct/ihw-13-gry.html

I am considering picking one of the up however as a lighter weight option.

Amazing piece of kit. They sold slowly however so I find the prospect of a re-up unlikely. Never say never though.

It won't get my vote, sold like shit…..

I wanted an olive one of these since forever. When these dropped I went for the black. Not regretted it for a minute, still want an olive though [emoji1]

I can’t wait for cooler weather and I plan on picking up a black m65 to wear when it does. For the life of me I can’t decide between the oiled and sateen. Can someone with better decision making skills decide for me?  Thanks in advance!

I haven’t owned an IH m-65, but the sateen that Haraki has woven is sooo good. I’d go classic. But if your area gets a lot of rain, it may be more practical to grab the oiled.

[mention]sabergirl [/mention] we get quite a bit or cold rain in the fall so oiled would be nice for that. I’m wondering what the temperature comfort range might be between the two because I’ve read that the oiled is “slightly” lighter.  Argh.

No real idea, the oiled version has not been made before…

RESTOCKING AT 1600BST ON THURSDAY 23RD SEPTEMBER

There's always the option of treating the fabric yourself with either an oil, wax, or silicone based water repellent.

If you wax or oil it, be aware that you will most likely get some transfer that’s much messier than indigo.  I remember reading about a guy who wore his waxed jacket in his warm car.

Snagged a medium and I’m stoked to be getting my first piece of IH outerwear!  I’m between sizes and hoping it’s not too trim.  Now waiting on a brown truck [emoji3]

I’m an XL in shirts and wear an L in these, if that helps. I can get a tee and a shirt underneath.

Should be perfect then. Really looking forward to this piece!

Love mine. Haraki-san’s cut is perfect, slightly tailored which together with the sateen in black makes it a very sharp jacket given its utilitarian military origins.

Finally got my first piece of IH outerwear and I am totally pleased. I sized down from my usual large and the fit is perfect (thanks @neph93 ). The sateen is substantial feeling and beautiful. This jacket will get tons of wear where I live. Really just love it!

Excellent fit, and beautifully paired with the olive serge. It really is a great weight and design.
