I’m 6’2”, 195 lbs and I purchased a medium long. It fits pretty great. Long in the arms just how I like. Everything else is close to GI with a few slight differences like the securing of the cuffs. This is acceptable. I also own Alpha and Tru-Spec brand M65’s. The Alpha is by far the nicest but considerably more expensive. Followed by the Propper. Tru-Spec’s arm holes are huge and their Velcro can’t cinch the cuff tight enough. The Propper fits much nicer. Happy with my purchase and customer service with answering my questions. Recommended.

My oldest son bought one of these jackets at an Army/Navy store and I was very happy with the quality and price. My youngest son liked it so much, we ordered one. They run a little big, but fit nice and are very warm.

I'm ex military when I compare this jacket to the one I wore for 22yrs . I can see no difference with quality, material,a little bigger than I remember got large and I 6 foot 170lbs, it's quite a bargain and it came with a liner which to buy it alone is well over 20. No comppaints

Over all, this is a a fine replacement for my original GI issue M65. A couple of things that differ from the original are, the the Velcro "loop patch" on the cuffs are too close to the "hook patch", so even when wearing gloves the cuffs are loose around the wrist. I ended up fixing this by adding another piece of loop material to each cuff. The other thing (not really a problem) is the jacket is bulkier, and a little bit heavier than I remember.
All in all, it's a good field jacket.

Super awesome coat. Looks great, nice and heavy with or without the liner. Only problem I have is that for a 3XL it runs bigger than usual. The velcro on the cuffs are also not the best. Would have no issues if I can use the velcro but there's only about an inch of it. Be easier to attach velcro myself rather than send it back and wait for a new coat just to be a bit smaller

This review has in no way a reflection on this site other than the brands the offer.
That being said - The coat over all could have been much better.
The liner and the coat buttons do not line up and therefore the fit and how the coat hangs is off. The collar appears to be sewn "short" along the back and so it never lies completely flat.
Not sure I'm keeping or not - overall it doesn't completely suck however for the price it should be so much better.
Propper, and True Spec for that matter, aren't the only game in town any more and I've had enough with substandard unreliable items.

Happy with this purchase. Finally cold enough for me to wear and it kept me warm in weather just above freezing. I usually wear a size medium, but did some research on this product and people were recommending one size smaller. I'm glad i did because the fitment is perfect.

my original field coat of some 60 years ago had to be retired,the cloth in this coat seems to be of a liter material and the color is definitely not OD put more of a green color. The size seems too run large i think i should have ordered a size smaller.

Everything is awesome except my ordering the wrong size. Loving the whole return process, it was handled quite fast. The site, the staff, and the way they quickly got back to me regarding my issue. I'm definitely ordering more from them in the future.

the color is not od, I know the military had several shades of od green, but this one is just a dark green like the green in woodland camo, not od like in the 60s/70s
Had not had it ten minutes and a button came off one of the epaulet. Material says 50/50 cotton/nylon but seems a little flimsy. does not feel like my issue m65.
Fits well and the liner was nice
But I will not buy another one of these
