IHM-42-IND - 16oz Natural Indigo Selvedge Denim M65 Field Jacket

The original M65 jacket was originally designed in 1965 as a cold-weather field coat for the US military - but it is no ordinary M65 jacket. Featuring a classic cut - complete with four large patch pockets and a hooded collar - Iron Heart constructed this unique version of the M65 from natural, indigo-dyed 16-ounce selvedge denim.

Hand-dyed in Tokushima, Japan, the use of natural indigo results in denim with a richer color compared to commonly used synthetic fabrics. Because it is a very labor-intensive process (hence the more limited nature of natural indigo denim), it also takes much longer for the color to begin to fade. However, when the yarns eventually start to give up their indigo, the denim develops beautiful faded patterns with lots of contrast. Equipped with 8-calf corduroy lining on the collar and cuffs, leather cords and an oversized YKK zipper, this is a very special, extremely limited running jacket - only 100 pieces are available worldwide - Iron Heart Germany is getting 11 of them.
