What a great piece!

^ Amen

…Make the hood out of Ventile and give it a nickel zipper, and this would be practically perfect* = the field jacket for all time. 

*I could live without the useless epaulettes, and snaps > Velcro

Does anyone know what these respective fabric weights are?

[Guest]

any chance on these making a comeback? i have the duck version (which I love) but also want a more traditional military jacket

[Giles]

They will come-back, probably FW20

Jolly good.

[Steve]

These have now been added to the FW20 collection.

Complete this form if you would like to know when they arrive at IHUK.

[Giles]

Being QC'd in Kojima, as I type….

Drooling over this, but I already own a ‘Nam era vintage M-65. Who knows what my reckless impulsiveness has in store…

[Giles]

Will go live, sometime this coming week…Watch this space.....

Bugger…. this marks the second time this has been released and I am in no position to swing it. They flew out last time...

Same @neph93. I suppose those are the pains of being on the Forum.

True. Add to that the fact I would happily wear about 75% of what IH put out and at some point you have to pass on things. I’ll hold on to the frail hope that they’ll still be around in a month or so.

[Wlemon]

Same, same. I’m going to start a thread that is a support groups and we can complain about what we missed on.

[neph93]

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.

[Wlemon]

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.
