IHM-28 - Goatskin M-65 Jacket

[neph93]

I would wear the living shit out of this. Ridiculously cool.

[tmg]

I think that will look amazing once it loses that shine and starts to break in - a very vintage vibe, and I’d be really interested in seeing a brown version.
It feels like a 70’s style and makes me think of Bodie & Doyle

I'll get a pic of H in it today…...

Like a (Yakuza) Boss…..

[neph93]

Oh hell yes 

[UnTucked]

Oh, that's GLORIOUS!!!

I swear, Haraki-san always makes everything look cooler.

My thoughts exactly.

This jacket is awesome, I'm just worried it'll make me look like a dodgy mercenary from an eighties action flick.

I'm off to practice my Eastern European accent…

Modded for accuracy.

[manufc10]

exactly, what's wrong with looking like that?!

[cander49]

Omg. Think that about sums up my thoughts here.

??? ??? ??? just lost for words….

Hey just out of curiosity, is it possible to change the lining pattern to green or camo?

[UnTucked]

Olive drab would be cool, but camo would make it seem like a novelty piece….. and at $1,600, I don't think the good IH folks will want to make it any more difficult to sell

[Giles]

It's not poss to spec another lining….

[Graeme]

One thing that I'd (belatedly) suggest is swapping the Velcro on the cuff adjusters and collar with snaps, like on the overdyed M-65.

I think that snaps would be more durable, and probably fit with a leather jacket better.

[Giles]

I know.  For some reason, H really dislikes snaps on this type of jacket….

[Bill C]

velcro would be a practical advantage if your hands are cold(?)

I fully agree with Graeme…and I only bought the overdyed M-65 BECAUSE it had snaps. Losing the velcro tipped me over.
