IHM-33-OLV - Oiled Cotton M-65 Jacket - Olive

[Guzzidriver]

@nurunuru  It's a really good and practical jacket and not a stylish blender. The windproofness is very good, I was able to test that. Unfortunately I have no experience in heavy rain. I haven't even used the hood yet  Sorry.

Not sure about rain, we don't really get a lot of it in my part of Canada. Holds up fine in light, wet snow though - although you need to layer to stay warm.

I'm also looking at the olive moleskin Type III. It should be a nice jacket for the cooler weather in the spring, summer, fall.

I recently (end of 2022) got my hands on one of those, XL is still a bit tight but i am working on it. But yet it looks good and sharp, hope that with time i will shrinkt to fit is the jacket a bit better.
But still a very nice jacket, i enjoy the high collar and those side pockets are amazing, simple but yet super comfortable and a natural feel for the hands.

A couple of quick questions....has anyone washed one of these in a washing machine? Also, what are two button holes for on the collar?

[Nicodimas]

Tight in the shoulders think this will open up a little ? The fit is perfect except that.

I wouldn't expect much stretch, no

how about shrinkage…

[Alex]

We never washed one to check, given the fact it has been oiled the thought did not cross my mind

Hey for those who got this jacket, are you entirely satisfied ? Is the fabric similar to the new release IHM-41-GRN Quilted one ?

Thanks !

@Neru-6 The IHM-33 was 100% oiled cotton where as the IHM-41 is 8oz 50% cotton/50% nylon shell, which is lighter, but has the additional lining
