IHM-34-ODG - Whipcord M-51 Type Field Coat - Olive
-
Thanks for the replies everyone! I was able to track one down at Berkeley Supply, which is also pretty close to me to boot
-
Oh nice, are you another front-ranger @SilverKast ?
-
Not familiar with the term front-ranger, so probably not?
-
Is the field coat the same shade of olive as the olive N1?….it seems a slightly different shade of green in the photos
-
No, they are different, and the photos are accurate.
We should have given them different colour suffixes, our bad….
no worries, thanks!

After some postage mishap I got this bad boy on my back right now, and ~DAMN~ this is a killer piece.
The other thread was right, you can fit an entire bottle of rum on the pockets, they're massive. The thing cuts a spectacular figure, the blanket lining was a masterstroke, reminds me of the affectionately referred to 'horse blankets' we had in the army.
Going to be wearing this thing for the rest of my life. You guys knocked this one out of the park, and well into stable orbit.

I love this coat so much! It's everything - warm and sturdy like a bivvy, and very cool.
Since IMHO it had some minor flaws I got it altered by my local tailor:
- a solid coatloop
- knitted storm cuffs
- wool-linings for the large side pockets
Just perfect now.

Very smart upgrades. Of all of them, the locker loop is my favorite although I wouldnt mind lined pockets either tbh.
