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

@SKT:

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.

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.

[Giles]

Yes, different types of fabric over the years…

That's it, thank you!

Got mine yesterday from the long awaited restock, great jacket. Shoulders do seem slightly confined, I got this to wear over shirts, the length covers the tails of the shirt showing. Anyone else find that when wearing an IH western under an IH jacket the shoulder seams line and up and dig into your shoulder? I get the same with the N1 as well.

Can I ask your height and weight, sir?

Exceptionally happy with my newest purchase.

Never experienced a fabric that is so understated yet uniquely special at the same time…

Was on the fence about getting a size L, but at 182cm and 78kg it feels like it was built for me as an outer layer. Looking forward to slipping a UHF underneath it as it gets colder here in the UK.

Well said. It really is quite stunning. IH had a black chino fabric they used on tanker jackets a few years back that had similar qualities. Utilitarian but luxurious.

@T4920 So sorry I’m just now seeing your post. Happy you got the sizing right!  For the record, I’m 5’9”, 163 lbs. 41” chest. Killer jacket…totally agree about the fabric. Enjoy!

I never expected to fall so far down the IH rabbit hole when I bought my first denim shirt earlier this year, but now I want to experience everything that's on offer. [emoji1374]
