Pros & Cons

Pros

My 1981 version is a size large regular and father time along with a few pounds convinced me to move up to an xl regular. The xl fits perfectly with enough room to move around and bend over, even with the liner.

Following the sizing guide on their website will get you the best fit for your buck. I am 6' 212lbs with a 46 chest and extra large was perfect. Usually on items that are t-shirt sizing, i wear an xl. There are washing instructions on the inside label...  Read More

Upper sleeve (around the biceps/triceps) is very roomy.

It's a solid, dependable, good looking field jacket. Putting this jacket on gets me outside the wire looking at the flight line. I get a lot of compliments on it too!

Cons

The sizing is what ruins it. The pockets are not to mil-spec (military specification) so the ad is misleading.

One snaps came apart on the wind flap over the zipper. Other details are a total mis-match with the original. Velcro on the cuffs is to short.

Competitiveness


It fits me fine with both a tshirt plus a regular shirt on as well


I believe it is superior to the original usgi i wore in the 1980s

They weren’t joking about the “oversize” design

    Reviews said get a size smaller than you usually take

    I will say though that m65’s are designed to fit loosely but this one is even larger than you would expect


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    There arent hand pockets like on a normal jacket so if your hands get cold you either have to wear gloves tuck them in your long sleeves or try to fit them in the odd pockets that come on the jacket


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    I had to buy a small in this case and the sleeves are still a bit long
