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

Self indulgent/self pitying whinge incoming….

On the subject of complaints and first world problems, I actually have a decent pile of stuff to sell but the combined issues of not wanting to deal with covid related shipping problems and me being a lazy bugger are preventing me from getting it sorted. Had I done so a couple of weeks ago I may have been in a jacket buying position...

Whinge over.

There you go, @neph93. That’s a great start. I’m waiting on a bonus of sorts that was supposed to arrive weeks ago.

On a side note, I’ve always hoped that I’d find a vintage one of these; however, I’ve found that there weren’t many pudgy soldiers back then. I suppose I’ll have to wait until this guy sells his clothes or hope my size is in stock when I can buy it.

Vintage m65 are very oversized! I have a Small/Long, and swim in my usual medium. I’ve had many of them over the years, and have this far convinced myself to save my IH budget for other things, but every time a new run happens I lust after Haraki’s version.

Maybe I'm looking in the wrong places, @sabergirl. That could be true. I follow a couple of vintage traders on Instagram, and over the past few months they haven't posted something in my size. Maybe I'll look at Etsy or eBay.

Are you an XL or XXL in Iron Heart?

Depnds on what the item is but, overall, XXL.

Super pumped for this one!  Missed it on the first round. Been waiting since!

So this version is still going to be referred to as a 27, despite the change to nickel zips?

[Giles]

Yep, Haraki did not chage the Lot Number and it's too late for us to retro change all the references to it and the labels etc etc etc

[Chaintitch]

…Any chance I also got my other wish, and the hood is now ventile?!? 

[Giles]

Maybe…..

[Chaintitch]

Don't toy with my emotions, G…  ???

[Giles]

I don't think it is.  But will be confirmed when the product goes live.  The lining definitely is though….

[Chaintitch]

Ugh.  Respectfully, the nylon hood is so… unfitting.   

[Giles]

It will be what it is, whatever it is, it cant be changed…..My suspicions are that it is still ripstop.....

Is this one good for cold weather conditions? Any ideas of wearing this one without layering and getting through the Western European winter?

I have one, live in the UK. Its a fucking great jacket.

It shits all over my RMC one.

I can heartily confirm that I have never used the hood.

Am I dreaming, or was there a thread there someone compared the two? The IH version and the Real McCoy

You're not dreaming, it's actually this very thread!  Look for a post by tangfj.
