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

. Did anybody else do something like this?
Not that I’ve ever heard. I’m struggling to see why you’d want to?
-
My idea was to get the same aesthetic as the original m65 with the exposed zippers

Ah, I understand.
Haraki-san tends to modernise original designs. It is hard to know exactly why, but often the updates add functionality or have an application or a benefit to the motorcycle rider. Alternatively they could be to create an aesthetic he prefers.
The sum result differentiates IH from the repro brands like RMC and to a degree Alpha Ind. Nothing to stop the owner making changes though. I’d be interested to see how it goes.

I had a tailor take off the piece of fabric hiding the zipper. I got to keep the fabric piece that was taken out, so it's 100 % reversible, if I ever regret my decision. Personally, I really like that the zipper is exposed, just like the old M65 jackets. It's a bit more rugged, military aesthetic I guess. Haven't used my 80's Alpha Industries M65 since I got this one.
It's an awesome jacket.

Will have to sadly miss this restock bought IHSH 293 OD just a month ago and really want the Kersey Western when it gets restocked. I already own a M59 from Alpha Industries so I'm justifying my heartache with that.

Ended up buying this and the Kersey. Please don't release anymore great items lol.

. Please don't release anymore great items lol.
Unfortunately this company really suck at that.

Here’s a few fit pictures of my m65 ticks all the boxes

That's a great fit. The Olive looks much sharper than the previous iterations. I have mine which is almost 2 years old and I simple love this jacket and it is the only one that I would use.

The sateen is amazing colour so good construction to good
