Propper Men's M65 Field Coat Jacket

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.

Great jacket. Thick, water resistant and comfy. Do note they run big. I'm 6'5 size 50 chest and the XL long is baggy on me.

Guide recommends XL for 46 chest, so I ordered XL/R. Sleeves went past my fingertips and I could fit two heavy coats under it with the liner and had room to spare. Exchanged for L/R and it fits much better. Cuffs are very loose and have little adjustment, so I will probably install snaps.

Note there are competitor brands but trust me…. True sizing and excellent quality,at par if not better than alpha industries, helikon Tex etc… trust me close your eyes and order while they last… if u not. Planning on layering then size down 1 size else stick to sizing chart

My son likes wearing it even if its winter time. Its very warm. Very good quality.
