IHM-27-OLV - Sateen M-65 Field Jacket - Olive
-
Has anyone gotten any shrink out of their M65? Would like to shrink it some but with how tightly woven the cotton sateen is, questioning if I should even bother with a warm wash and tumble dry. Did not know if this kind of treatment would yield any results or worse; if this would damage it in any way.

Recently washed at 30C for the first time. A bit of shrinkage I think, and the look and feel is greatly improved (a more crumpled and worn look that suits that kind of jacket).

Nice @Tobi line dry or machine?

Just a quick wash with 30C and no spin, then line dry. Mind you: not deliberately trying to shrink the jacket (although it is on the large side for me with some recent weight loss).

Hello, I recently got mine and am very happy with the purchase (I am usually an L for other brands, decided to take the XL here since the L felt to small around the chest).
One quick question, I am not a big fan of labeling. It is very subtle here, but I am still contemplating to remove the "Iron Heart" label on the left pocket. Did anybody try this in the past? How does it look, will one still see the stitching holes afterwards? Thanks and best wishes

You can't undo the stitching, it forms part of the construction of the pocket. You need to cut the label in half between the 2 rows of stitching and then deconstruct the label, it carries risks, I screwed up a customer's shirt once when he asked me to do it..
Or get a black Sharpie…

guess I have to wait till November… :-\

saw the preview yesterday, wondering when will M65 go live this year, October or November? thank you .

Hello Guys
I ordered the last piece today on badweathercafe and now after reading these messages I am in doubt about size. My height is 190 cm and my weight is 100kg. and my Chest is 120 cm.
All that remained was the size xxl and I ordered it, does anyone have similar build and what size fitted him?
I know I can bring it back but xl I can't find any more anywhere in Europe -
The jacket has arrived, I think the size is good, the only thing that the sleeves could be 1-2 cm shorter.
I'm going to put in a few pictures to make it easier to navigate the sizes. I'm going to put in a few pictures to make it easier to navigate the sizes. This is the XXL.

@Tobi any updated pics of this?

Just saw the email announcement that these are going to be restocked next week. Is sizing coming in consistent with previous years? I've been thinking about grabbing one of these jackets for years, but I've always felt uneasy about actually committing to an XS (I wear a small in the N1, the corduroy Type III, and work shirts, so it seems like XS would be the answer here). Would be helpful to understand if there's something different about these.
-
@Napa-Transplant anecdotal, but I had the similar thoughts when ordering my black one. Size chart pointed towards a medium, but all my other IH gear is large..
Went for a large in the end, and was happy with the fit. Great as a winter coat with a couple of layers underneath, but feels a little too roomy with just a t shirt.
Medium probably would've looked better aesthetically, but all things considered I'm glad I opted for the large, as it's more practical in the occasions I'm likely to want to wear this jacket.
I'll probably grab the olive one in medium someday anyway though, best of both worlds
-
I sized down on this. I'm usually a Small on most IH shirts and I went with an XS for the M-65 and it fits me perfect with and without layers.
-
WOW...those Mediums go FAST...I have been waiting to jump on this one since last year...love it!

Hum, restock notification not much use when they sell in 2 minutes. Don't we usually get an advance heads up in here? I saw one for the lined M65, maybe that was actually for this? Ah well, restock notification submitted, see you in 2024!
