Surplus M65 Field Jacket

I've just received this Jacket this morning and am very pleased with it, The quality feels to be excellent. The sleeves are a bit long, It's worth pointing out though that the sleeves do have hand shield extensions which make the sleeves appear even longer and there are plenty of velcro adjusters on them to get a good fit around the cuff. With the Winter/cold weather insert the jacket feels incredibly comfortable and definitely will keep you warm, the quilted jacket insert attaches to the outer coat via buttons so is easy to detach and attach, it only takes a minute or so to reattach the liner to the main jacket. I was a little unsure if the size I ordered would be big enough as I am a little err.. Large round the middle and usually have to order Jackets sized XXL but the advice given to order a size smaller than you normally would was spot on, even with the Quilted Insert attached this XL size jacket fits me well and the larger size would have been too big. All in all a very good quality jacket that I am sure I will get plenty of usage out of. Edit on 07/08/2013 well I have had this jacket now for just about 2 years, and wear it pretty much daily except in the middle of summer, I've wandered over hill and dale and through dense woodland among other places wearing this jacket both with and without the quilted liner, and I have yet to find issue with the quality of this product. Two years almost daily usage and no buttons have come loose or dropped off, nor has any of the velcro on the sleeves or the collar become frayed or any stitching come lose either. There have been no tares or holes developed in pockets, or on sleeves when caught on brambles or broken branches. from my perspective two years after purchase I have no issues with the quality of the product. I'm still very pleased with this purchase and still happy to recommend it to others.

Bought this jacket as I'd been looking at the M65 for a while and wanted the olive green. I wear this jacket all the time and I am very please with it however a couple of the studs came of so I sent an email and they asked if I wanted a replacement or 50% refund, I went for the refund. So for about £25 this jacket is fantastic- water-proof, very warm and looks great even at £50 its a steal and I really didn't think the quality would be as good as it is but for size I'm am 6ft 3 and 16 plus stone with 46-47 chest and the large fits just great and with the liner out bags of room. So in summery great jacket but you get what you pay for.

Very good and much cheaper than the Alpha variant. It is very water resistant due to its Quarpel treatment (water just beads of mine) and it also comes with a detachable liner, which great in colder weather. The finishing isn't maybe as good as more expensive versions, but this was only the odd stray thread here and there that could be quickly snipped, otherwise the finishing was ok.

I received this jacket 21st of December 2012 and within the 3rd week buttons started breaking and falling off. Now one of the brass button that closes over the zipper is broken, the same can be said about the two buttons on the pockets - and several of the plastic buttons that's supposed to hold on to the lining have fallen completely off. Now you may think that I have been really rough to the jacket, but no. I have been as careful with this jacket as I have been with any jacket I have owned. I never experienced a jacket as shoddy as this. My parcel arrived within a few days - quick enough that I became pleasantly surprised. Too bad with the jacket, though. I had really looked forward to have a cool, good quality jacket.

This jacket is comfortable and looks good when worn but work needs to be done on the finishing as there were loose threads everywhere and I spent 15 minutes cutting off the loose ends. The size definitely needs to be one less than stated, even though I did this I still had to wash and tumble dry it to get it to fit. The inner is easily removed and I will probably never wear it as the jacket is warm enough without the inner. The hood is the worse part as it looks unfinished or added as an afterthought while the lining at the bottom of the jacket could do with sewing in place as it rides up every time I put the jacket on. Saying all this I would still buy this jacket.

Jacket looks and has a very tailored fit. Sizing is correct, even with separate quilted long sleeved section. Can be worn without the quilted section and fit still looks good. Have worn in very windy weather and the jacket maintains the warmth. Would recommend as a leisure or casual jacket. Pleased with purchase.

This is a fantastic coat. Enough room to layer in extreme weather,but cosy enough with just the liner fitted.the only minor gripe I have is the sleeves are on the long side,but I'm on the short side ,so it may be my problem ! I would recommend this coat to my closest friends and family

Too small a fit (waist).

Pedí una talla más pequeña de la que habitualmente uso. Mido 177 y peso 78 kg suelo usar una talla L y pedí la M. Aun así las mangas son algo largas. Por otro lado, la chaqueta parece de buena calidad, es cómoda, abriga,... Por su precio está muy muy bien.

Buena calidad el tejido, trae un forro acolchado desmontable para cuando hace menos frio.

My husband has wanted one of these jackets for 5 years.. He loves the way it fits him and that it is warm without being heavyweighted. He also loves the camo pattern it isn't too dark nor too light/loud.. He waited so long because of pricing to order it now he wishes he wouldn't have waited the durability and the stitching make it well worth the money..

Good / warm jacket, and my son likes to wear it too.

I have an original m65 from the early 70's. This jacket is everything I expected. The only issue I had was with the sleeve cuffs being way too long.
