@Brandrea
Alright, thanks anyway!I actually found the jacket in XL at a shop in Bern, Switzerland just yesterday and ordered it. Looks like we might’ve snagged the last two XLs in the world, haha.
You and I have very similar measurements so I’m pretty sure it’ll fit—but I’m still keeping an eye out for an L just in case.

@EastClintwood Congratulations man, well done!!
I hope it fits you the way you want. I only had a change to snap this very quick picture in the store. I’m wearing a 1600, and a UHF underneath…
It’s maybe a touch roomy, but I like a bit of room in a jacket. Besides, if a jacket has a great pattern (which this one does) I think you can size up without it looking out of place.

A chill fit is the best fit. I picture that going for a for a larger size only adds to the coat-like vibes, which I definitely enjoy.It's looking ace on you! Can't wait to receive mine.

@EastClintwood totally agree … Please update this thread with your fit pics when you receive it. Excited for you!

The jacket arrived a day early so I figured I’d update with some pictures.
Overall I’m pleased with the fit. It’ll work great with layers, and most importantly it feels the right size (to me). I really would’ve liked to try on a large, but alas there are none and since I really wanted the olive colorway XL it is!
One thing I noticed and haven’t seen it mentioned before are that the sleeves have this stiching detail near the outside elbow. I assume this is to give the sleeve some shape ~ kinda cool. All the other features mentioned here are as I expected. Really well constructed jacket. Thanks IH.

@Brandrea So I finally received the jacket, but I quickly found out that XL is too big for me, so I'll be sending it back to the shop in Switzerland where I bought it.
For anyone interested, the M65 in XL will soon be available at Feinfracht.com once they process my return. They also have it in XXL and XXXL.
Big shoutout to them for their excellent customer service.

@Brandrea looks a good fit to me I think large would have been tight on you . enjoy one of iron hearts best jackets .

@gazza61 thank you, I look forward to wearing it once the weather here cooperates:)

@EastClintwood darn it, sorry the XL didn’t work for you. I hope you can land a large size!
