Propper Men's M65 Field Coat

After reading "Made In China" I was about to pass on this jacket, however, after reading some of the other comments, I changed my mind and gave it a try. Although not perfect it is a very well made coat and solidly constructed. The weather turned very cold here and was the perfect opportunity to give it a try. I usually layer up but went out in only a T-shirt under this jacket and was still warm. A little drafty in the HUGE sleeves but lots of room for under garments to build layers. The sleeve adjustments appear to be an afterthought and need either longer length velcro strips around the ample sleeve or they may just need to be repositioned. further around the sleeve to be of any real use. Liner pops in and out with minimal trouble although the sleeve attachment buttons inside may be hard to find. Very impressed by the initial waterproofness when I got stuck in some rain. Beaded up and rolled right off and shook off almost completely when I got back indoors. VERY pleased with this jacket.

Uncle Sam issued me a XL Regular back in 1990 but I always wanted a bit more sleeve so I ordered the XL Long. I'm 6'5" and weigh 320 lbs. I've got a 18" neck, 35" sleeve, 44 waist and 52" chest. This jacket fits perfectly, just like my trusty old issued field jacket with the sleeve length I always wanted. I normally wear at least a 2XLT usually 3XLT for comparison. When they suggest ordering a size down have no fear they're right on. I couldn't be more pleased and Propper is making the real deal. Hoo-rah!
