IHM-27-BLK - Sateen M-65 Field Jacket - Black

[sabergirl]

I haven’t owned an IH m-65, but the sateen that Haraki has woven is sooo good. I’d go classic. But if your area gets a lot of rain, it may be more practical to grab the oiled.

[mention]sabergirl [/mention] we get quite a bit or cold rain in the fall so oiled would be nice for that. I’m wondering what the temperature comfort range might be between the two because I’ve read that the oiled is “slightly” lighter.  Argh.

No real idea, the oiled version has not been made before…

There's always the option of treating the fabric yourself with either an oil, wax, or silicone based water repellent.

If you wax or oil it, be aware that you will most likely get some transfer that’s much messier than indigo.  I remember reading about a guy who wore his waxed jacket in his warm car.

Snagged a medium and I’m stoked to be getting my first piece of IH outerwear!  I’m between sizes and hoping it’s not too trim.  Now waiting on a brown truck [emoji3]

I’m an XL in shirts and wear an L in these, if that helps. I can get a tee and a shirt underneath.

Should be perfect then. Really looking forward to this piece!

Love mine. Haraki-san’s cut is perfect, slightly tailored which together with the sateen in black makes it a very sharp jacket given its utilitarian military origins.

Finally got my first piece of IH outerwear and I am totally pleased. I sized down from my usual large and the fit is perfect (thanks @neph93 ). The sateen is substantial feeling and beautiful. This jacket will get tons of wear where I live. Really just love it!

Excellent fit, and beautifully paired with the olive serge. It really is a great weight and design.

I've been after a proper, well-built field jacket for a few years. This one or the olive colorway seems to fit the bill nicely. Though it looks like I missed this year's run. Any chance of a restock in the near future?

@Bobcat Sig You are in luck…this year’s hasn’t been released yet https://www.ironheart.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=17843.msg750022#msg750022

We are hoping for them to land in October / November.

[Bobcat Sig]

Oh, man! That's great news. Selfishly, I was hoping for a shorter timetable, but for quality this good? I can wait.

Thanks for passing along the good word.

Sizing chart updated for impending restock. Slightly larger over all. Please note that XS and S sleeve lengths are indeed correct.

Has this jacket ever been made in a different kind of cotton fabric (other than the oiled version)? Just asking out of curiosity because I got a M65 some years ago at a retailer and the fabric looks slightly different than the pictures, almost like a plain weave. I may be mistaken of course.
