Classic US M65 Jacket Olive

I almost sent this coat back and I'm glad I didn't. I'm a big guy and it was a bit tight in my upper arms, but I lost some weight and now it fits perfectly. I have never received so many compliments on a coat in my life. It looks good and it's comfortable. The liner makes an enormous difference and is great at stopping wind and keeping in heat. Material is sturdy but not stiff and is well made. Folding the cuffs might take you a second but it makes sense once they're done (and looks snappy). If I had to complain, I would say that I wish it had inner pockets because I love having at least one for my wallet but it's not a deal breaker with this nice of a coat. The outer pockets are very generous anyway, so it's not a big deal. If you're fat like me, it might be a bit snug on your upper arms and you may want to order a size up to compensate. This is one of those purchases that I'm happy I made because it was worth every penny and more. Well done, Mil-Tec!

Very nice work jacket.. just like the 1970 U.S Army uniform type same liner . Only difference is a less weight on the zipper! Definitely worth the price! Came in a protective bag so no problems at all . Very good craftsmanship!

The fit and quality are great. It's almost identical to the one I was issued when I was in the Army in the 70's. The only thing that was different was the zipper. It's a good heavy duty zipper just backwards from what I'm used to. But for the price and quality I can adjust to it. Another plus is that the liner comes with it. If you don't mind the zipper I would say buy it.

Jacket looks good, I am wearing it now, the jacket looks in general like a good product, I am 5'8' average but 20 extra pounds; for me the jacket fits perfect, except the arms, the length is a 1.5" short, the zipper is too short and is metallic yellowish, which is really horrible, but I imagine thse were used in the 60's, it feels confortable but the big issue is the "zipped-in concealed hood", it is really bad set because it goes inside the back of the jacket, so imagine if you remove that to use it, then when you want to set back you feel something in your back between omoplates, I am not jocking. Setting it back took me 15 mins to accomodate the hood inside again, that gave me the impression of poor design, the hood is also very, very but vey basic, if I had seen the hood before buying, I had not bought the jacket, I think I am not going to use the concealed hood I would not have purchased. This poor design is making the neck bodyless, so it turns down because the hood is in the back not concealed in the neck. The bags for your hands are also a problem in this type of jacket, the hands can go inside only from above, it should be nice to have them from the back side to make them useful. The designer thought more to use them to carry things than to your hands in. My biceps is not the biggest is average for an old man and it feel tight on them too. I have pulled out the insulation and it feels good without it. Overall despite the issues for arriving which is more a USPS logistic issue, the jacket itself has to have only 3 over 5.

Love the jacket, but why is the zipper backwards???

Since it’s introduction in 1965, I have never found a more versatile, more satisfying jacket than this. If you’re tired of the “noise “ of treated polyesters, the lack of true ventilation of “miracle “ fleece, Gore-Tex and every major “improvement “ in outdoor clothing, this has always been the go-to jacket for you. Made chiefly of cotton with a removable quilted liner, this jacket is as satisfying as snuggling under one of your Grandmother’s quilts. With the liner installed, this is a heavier, roomier, and more thoughtful garment which enjoys a comfortable amount of heft as compared to the 1/2 inch fleece or down offered by today’s newest fabrics. There is plenty of room to layer if the weather is cold, and plenty of ways to cool down when things warm up and you just need a light jacket. Simply remove the liner for spring and fall and enjoy the large pockets for all of your devices and change. In a fashionable sense, this has always been the most rugged jacket in looks and performance that you can buy. It is treated for water resistance, but in a deluge, you will want a serious rain coat to cover it. I used to buy these from military surplus in grade, middle , and high school, and it is nice that you can now get them here on Amazon. I have always gone back to this coat throughout my life for the overall comfort, performance, and just plain good sense that it makes. Like a good pair of jeans , this garment gets increasingly more satisfying the more you wear it.

65 percent polyester. Sizing is off. 4xl is more like a 2xl... Took a long time to be delivered due to country of origin. Not able to recommend this. It's too much trouble to return... I'm just going to give it away...

This is the closest you can get to an original M-65. Excellent quality. Regarding the size, I am 6'2", 190lb, chest 43" and I got a Large. It is the right size, only slightly loose without the insert. With the insert, L is the perfect fit. I could have gotten a Medium but the sleeves would be shorter and an M-65 would never look anything like a "fitted" jacket. Obviously, recommended.

Amazing, received order in only 4 days, much faster than I anticipated. Glad to have it in plenty of time for my upcoming winter camp. I ordered a 2XL which is the same size as all my jackets and it fits very good. A little extra room, which is great for layers. I think if I would have went down a size as suggested, it likely wouldn’t have fit quite as well and extra layers would have been an issue. I took the chance after reading a few other reviews stating the same thing and I’m glad I did. The quality seems good, nice heavy duty zippers. Looks like a jacket that will last quite a while, so good deal for the price.

if L is tight for you get XL, I got XL and its tight on me but im a casual XL fit and L is tight on me in t shirts .. THIS IS A PERFECT JACKET!!
