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!

Packaging/appearance

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
So after seeing the competition brands their they dont match up to a alpha m65 field jackets
They weren’t joking about the “oversize” design

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

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
