Summer Jackets

Fair points Rafa, unless I get something awesome offered in trade I'm gonna hang on to the IHD-01. The IHJ-07 is seriously tempting…..maybe next month  :-\

Could use ideas for a black M65 or similar. I have a green Head Porter in XL which is perfect, and I was thinking that I should stick with what works for me, but change color. I would be grateful if someone could point me in the right direction.

m65 = alpha industries…

Thanks, Injunjack. I have seen the Alpha Industries M65 online, but have never handled one. I have heard that they are quite baggy and less fitted than most other replicas - can anyone confirm?

True military jacket. So….

…kevlar lined, hidden gun pockets, optical camouflage etc. Good price on them, actually.

If your happy with a cheaper made  jacket with ok-ish quality then AI as mentioned already will suffice, however going by the fact you already have a Head Porter and are on this forum let me suggest these two:

If a light, summer M65 is your thing, then you cannot do better than one of the old W-Taps jackets from around 2004 - 5. If you can get your hands o one of these I would strongly advise it, I used to have four, sold them all, and now really regret it.

Cheers, guys - appreciate it! They're both great, but the Ten-C version looks incredible. I can see the Bureau Belfast stocks them.

Seems that one of my favorite clothing brands is making a black M65 in the foreseeable future. I'll probably wait for that then.
