Propper Men's M65 Field Coat Jacket

I love this coat . The camo pattern doesn’t show dirt & stains as much as a solid color. Its size runs true to USGI specs. These make great knockabout coats for camping, fishing, hunting & pretty much any outdoor activity.As a stand alone it’s warm enough to wear in 30-40 degree weather & it’s plenty big enough to layer underneath. The metal snaps & plastic YKK zipper are very sturdy.The coat has a button in liner & if needed you could button in an additional liner for added warmth.People have commented about the Velcro tab placement on the cuff.Yes the tabs could have been sewn for a tighter fit, but for me they are just fine. I adjusted them to the smallest size & my large hands have no problem sliding the coat on or off when adjusted as mentioned.The button flap pockets are sized very generous for dog snacks, water bottle, flashlight, spare magazines, gloves , Ect ..

I got this for my husband to wear when he shows his vintage WWII jeep. He always complains about being too cold in his open jeep. He is 6'3" and around 245 pounds. The XL fit him with plenty of room to spare.We talked about a smaller size, but the roomy chest needed for sweaters and driving might not be there in the "L" size. Length is great, and the zip-in lining is heavy and warm, but the sleeves need to be shortened. Concerned the velcro sleeves (to tighten at the wrist) might be difficult to shorten, but I will leave that to the seamstress.

it's a solid and nicely built coat but the sizing is way off the charts. I'm typically a xl tall and as a 6'3 240lb man this coat felt like a 3x on me

I ordered a 3xl because that's the size I wear. Lol anyways the 3xl was a size big so I ordered a 2xl and it fit prefect like it was a 3xl. Make sure to order a size smaller then what you wear. The jacket is heavy perfect for the cold winter in Idaho.

This is actually my 2nd Propper M65. I bought my first one about 12 years ago at the local Army Surplus. I suspect the store owner would get his shipment in and split the jacket and liner so that he could sell them separately since the one from there did not come with liner. Anyway, after 12 years I guess I kinda 'outgrew' my old jacket and hadn't been able to wear it for the last 3 or 4 years....just a big snug. So I went up a size this time and it fits great. If you don't want a really baggy jacket, buy one size smaller than you would a 'civilian' jacket, as these are designed to fit over bulky layers of clothing.I've had an M65 in my closet ever since I was in the Army, and I can't imagine not having one. Propper makes a very good version, though maybe not quite as tough as the ones I was issued in the military. I also chose to go with the black. (my other Propper was also black.)I did have to roll up the sleeves one cuff, they were a little long. I'll probably have to have some alteration made on the sleeves. I don't think it will effect the liner much though since the buttons are above where I would have the cuff hemmed. Should work out just fine. Not the jackets fault....I'm short and wide. lol.When I was in the army these coats were so versatile. Without liner, light and easy to move in. Would keep out a light rain if need be. In Winter with the liner, warm and comfortable. Mine was used as coat, Pillow at night when we were in the field, sometimes blanket if I didn't have my poncho and woobie with me. It was a key piece of Kit that you didn't go anywhere without!BTW, I still have the old Propper M65. It's a little faded but still in great condition. Probably going to give it to a friend of mine, who like most of us, ls living on a tight budget.

Since the government discontinued the military version of this jacket, military surplus versions are harder to find and are more expensive than they used to be. This commercial version is a faithful reproduction and the best version you can find from any brand out there. Ample room in the size indicated. And a really quality made garment. You can't go wrong buying this jacket!

Purchasing this I knew it was a Chinese knockoff of the M65 Field Jacket. The Jacket seems to be well made, had some weight to it, and fit ok except for the sleeves. The sleeves are huge both in length and we're very wide. The velcro at the cuff is too short to close the wrist opening. In fact it is to short to do anything. Fix the sleeves and extend the velcro and this would be a good jacket. As it is now, the jacket isn't functional.

This has all the spec features of the M-65 jacket in a black unit. I know because this is my third one. The first was issue in the '60s, the second I bought in 1990 (Tigerstripe) and this one in black. The first was lost in transit in the military or turned in, the second I have and is still good. And this one is more for urban use and I love it. The same spec durable fabrics, buttons and liners and friendly design with plenty of pockets, quality zippers and snaps. Proper does the best job at adhering to specs and not going cheap with the pocket buttors and durable snaps in the right places.

Me quedó a la perfección y la calidad me parece acorde con el precio. Muy cómoda y se ve muy bien. Si vale la pena por lo que cuesta!

Everything is great with the jacket and liner...hood is rather basic... but that is how a m65 jacket is....stands up to cold weather with appropriate clothing underneath can definitely go down to -25 and lower...Sizing is accurate... construction very good...washes well

Product seems great, the sizes are big. At 6’3” and 230lbs the xl long was big, I should have ordered a large long. The length was great just the body of the coat was big!

As described size down

M65-Jacken habe ich schon einige ausprobiert - und die meisten umgehend verworfen. Ich besitze ein Modell aus Armeebeständen in Woodland-Tarn, an dem sich die anderen Jacken messen müssen.Der Oberstoff besteht zu je 50 % aus Nylon und Baumwolle (NyCo), andere Mischungen, z. B. mit Polyester, entsprechen nicht dem Standard und sind zumeist minderwertig.Mit der originalen Armeejacke konnten sich bisher nur die Produkte zweier Hersteller messen; die von Helikon-Tex und Propper. Sie bestehen aus dem gleichen Stoff und auch die (hohe) Verarbeitungsqualität steht dem Vorbild in nichts nach.Der Stoff ist lange wasserabweisend und das Futter ist im Winter sehr willkommen. Die Kunstoffreißverschlüsse des Propper-Modells sind hochwertig und entsprechen dem Armeestandard. Die Nähte sind sorgfältig ausgeführt und der Stoff ist tiefschwarz gefärbt.Für Menschen über 1,80 m sind die Langmodelle (z. b. medium-long) gedacht. Selbige als NyCo-Version in »zivilen« Farben gibt es - zumindest nach meinem Informationsstand - nur von Propper.Mein Modell in schwarz wurde schnell aus den Vereinigten Staaten geliefert und erfüllte all meine hohen Erwartungen.Wer nach einer klassischen, wetterfesten und außerordentlich robusten Jacke, die einen viele Jahre begleiten wird, sucht, hat sie hier gefunden.
