BranditIndividual Wear M-65 Classic Field Jacket for Man - Water-Repellent, with Removable Inner Jacket and Collar Hood

Let me tell you first about my experience buying from Brandit, and then about the jacket itself.I don't live in the US, I buy stuff, and ship it to my country. "returns" is a NO NO. Just not feasible, so I have to be careful about what I buy.When I first got the jacket and going by the Size table, I ordered XL. It finally arrived here and it was HUGE. Fine, my mistake, live an learn right? so I gave that one to my lucky brother, and ordered a size L for me.When it arrived, it was ANOTHER XL.Did I mention returns are just not feasible for me? Not expecting much, I wrote to Brandit and said, hey guys, you know, this was your mistake. But I knew they were NOT obligated in any way to send anything new to me if I was not able to return the item.They answered saying "we'll send you another one", but time went by and nothing arrived and I kind of forgot about it.To my surprise, I got a very fine lucking M-65 style SIZE L jacket on the mail today.To say that I was happy is an understatement- Not only did Brandit send me a totally new jacket, they did it of their own volition, and in this day and age dealing with companies that care about their brand and clients is a very big plus. Thanks Brandit, and congrats and amazing customer support.Now, unto the Jacket.The material is strong, zippers are quality, and the jacket looks great, the finishing is top notch! both on the jacket itself and on the inner, but be advised this thing is HOT, and you will want to remove the inner unless you live in or have very cold temperature seasons.Not being a fashion expert can't give you much details in terms of looks other than: it looks a bit puffy, but it looks great. Time will tell on wear and tear, but first impressions wise I am very much pleased with my jacket. So yeah. Between the obvious quality on the product, and the great interaction with the store, this is an easy 5 star review for me to give. Cheers!

For about $100, you can get this well made, redesigned version of the M-65 Field Jacket. I purchased a size small and is obviously a more roomy jacket, designed to cover you and your gear (vest, pouches, etc. It's a Military Jacket) comfortably. For me, being around 165 lbs. and 6' tall, it ends right at the bottom of my pants zipper. It will definetly keep you warm no doubt, but be careful when wearing it in the rain! The jacket is water-RESISTANT, not waterproof. While that isn't a con, please be aware these terms are two different things. Anyway, overall the jacket is pretty nice, but I do have a couple things I'd like to mention:1) There's a lot of loose stitching on the perimeter of all of the pockets and some at the bottom of the hood. The stitching isn't finished too well, but that's more of a nitpick; It's occasionally caught my knife and flashlight pulling them out of my pockets and/or loosening the stitching.2) Another nitpick, but the liner sleeves do not stay in the jacket properly. The sleeves have loopholes for you to attach to the shell's buttons near the cuffs, but even putting them on, it won't stay and in turn can make it a bit annoying taking the jacket offBesides those subjective thoughts, this jacket is worth the purchase! I have it as my casual jacket for the winter and rain, but I mentioned before, it isn't waterproof, so I need to find somewhere or something to proof it so I can wear it where I live. I love it, looks good, fits well, and keeps me warm. I recommend you buy it if you're interested!Note: This jacket doesn't have pockets for your hands specifically, so you need to use the front pockets. Not a big deal, but something to note that's different from an actual M-65

I'm 5'8, 185 lbs, and have three U.S. made M65 Field Jackets, all sized large regular. All fit great, as I take a 46 in the chest/shoulders. After reading all the reviews for this I purchased a large. It's a little longer than my USGI jackets, and as a lot of other reviewers have found, it's very tight in the chest/shoulders. I can wear it, and it looks fine, but I wouldn't use it out in the field if I needed maneuverability. Material seems to be of decent quality, although thinner than the old USGI items. Returning is a hassle as it has to go back to Europe. I also purchased a Brandit in XL, hoping for a better fit in the chest and shoulders. I found it fit almost the same as the large, that is, too tight for good movement in the shoulders.

I see a lot of people posting about how the jacket fits without including actual details on their size. "Plus size" or "bigger person" is not really helpful as those are very subjective.Here are my measurements:Height: 5'11"Weight: 190 lbsChest: 45"Shoulders: 20" (Joint to Joint)Waist: 36" (at navel)Arm: 30.25" (From nape of neck to wrist)Based on chest dimensions and the sizing chart, I ordered an XL. The jacket fit wonderfully in the shoulders and upper chest area, but felt a little loose in the mid section and the sleeves are just a bit longer than I would prefer. That said, there is a draw string at the waist of the jacket that allows you to tighten it to be a bit more form fitting if desired, and looking at the product pictures it appears as if the sleeves hang exactly where they're designed to. If you're on the border between two sizes, you may be able to go with the smaller size if you do not plan on using the jacket liner (if you live in a warmer climate).As for performance, I've already worn the jacket, without the liner, in sub-freezing temperatures and in moderate rain. It performed excellently in both areas. Very warm, water repellant, and comfortable. The jacket looks great, and I've received several compliments on it already. Overall, very very happy with the purchase.Also of note, my jacket arrived a day earlier than the earliest expected date on shipping. Kudos to the seller and the Royal Mail system.

EXCELENTE PRODUCTO

Die Jacke ist unglaublich, sieht mega aus, super Passform und Qualität,der Preis einfach genial

Ik had de blauwe versie XL van deze jas gekocht en heb exact de jas gekregen zoals dat op de foto van de verkoper stond.De maat is perfect, de mouwen vallen op het eerste zicht groot uit maar dit zijn mouwen die je aan de polsen kan corrigeren. Ook aan de kraag kan je de omtrek corrigeren om je te beschermen ter hoogte van je keel tegen kille wind. De kleur komt overeen met de kleur ik koos. De jas bevat vanbinnen een bodywarmer die je er kan afhalen wanneer het minder koud is. Kap zit in de kraag.Levering ging zoals aangegeven, jas was proper en goed ingepakt toegekomen.

Giacca confezionata molto bene, bel modello e taglia perfetta. Mi è piaciuta la parte interna, perchè ha una imbottitura staccabile, che rende la giacca perfetta per la mezza stagione e l'inverno. La consiglio vivamente.
