IHM-34-ODG - Whipcord M-51 Type Field Coat - Olive

@nytimes_gaiden:

I’m an XXL and I went all the way down to L for this one, it fits great. I may not be able to layer as much  which shouldn’t be an issue with how warm the jacket it is but it belled out too much at the bottom and middle for my taste otherwise.

Any fit pics?

@northeastwear you get your size S yet? How's it fit?

I did! It fits a treat, really cozy as well. Def a bit of a tradeoff in terms of how long you can tolerate the sleeves being in the interest of getting more space in the shoulders to make layering stuff underneath easier but a UHF feels great on underneath and that's probably the most important part

Omg the idea of wearing a UHF under that nukes me just thinking about it… but then again you do live in a properly cold place

It's true - I wore it yesterday but it wasnt quite freezing so I just went with the tan work shirt underneath:

(jeans are I+W barton slims, boots from NF bootmaker)

yeah, great look @northeastwear

What are these guys like in the rain? Is this water resistant?

[Giles]

Because the whipcord weave is so dense, they are water resistant, but definitely not waterproof….

@Dmart @endo how did you guys size this? Typical UHF size or down one/two? A few of these somehow ended up in the outlet and someone’s finding it hard to resist. Asking for a friend you know…
The friend wears XXL UHFs and is eyeing an XL.

*you both look spectacular in this coat btw

[Dmart]

@weftyarn it really is a great coat. I am between M and L in UHF‘s, mostly M and wear size M in the coat. Fits perfectly!

[endo]

I have it in XL, as all my IH jackets and most shirts. Go for it, it‘s wonderful.

[weftyarn]

Thanks guys, just pulled the trigger. Let’s hope the XL works, the measurements look perfect and I think I remember trying on an XL last year

[Dmart]

@weftyarn if it fits I guarantee that you’ll love it! One of my fav IH pieces.

[endo]

absolutely, with some modifications

Great score @weftyarn, this was my most worn jacket last winter.

[weftyarn]

Thanks guys! Man the sizing game is hard sometimes. Can’t wait to receive the bag and try this thing on.

@endo Indeed some great mods!! Who did you trust?

I have a turkish tailoring lady here around. She is great, does everything with perfection, the Iron Heart way of alterations.

[weftyarn]

Damn… This thing is a masterpiece.
It was a great decision to go with the smaller XL - still easily fits over my 14Oz hoodie. Yup, I’m sweating though

The fabric, the lining, the cut… No velcro, just snap buttons. Huge warm hood. Pockets that will hold 2 bottles of mulled wine. Perfection!

More detailed impression and better fit pics when temps drop. Can’t wait for that to happen now..

[Dmart]

Told you. This is piece is awesome!
