My last Rothco M65 lasted 15yrs and is still in good shape. The only thing I did about 5-6 yrs ago was apply water proofing. I had to get a new one as my old one fit alittle tight. The new Rothco M65 field jacket is just like my old one and I like it alot. Other than the crinkly liner the jacket is top notch and worth every penny. (my husbands M65 review) Read more

This is a very nicely made jacket. It does run big so I suggest to go down a size. I take an XL and have never had to go down in size but this jacket looks like I'm swimming in it. I haven't had it that long so time will tell about durability but right now it seems like it will last a long time. I do wish it had an inside pocket or 2 though. I would have given it 5 stars but knocked 1 off because of the size and lack of inside pockets. All in all though very nice. Read more

I am 6'2" 220 and usually buy ex-large., but after reading through the reviews I ordered a Large. It fits very well and leaves room for a thick sweater underneath. Only tested to roughly 12 degrees for about 90 minutes., but it did keep me warm and comfortable.., and I did not have a sweater-layer on.., so it will do nicely. The coat is five star. The shipping is One star. For some reason it left the shipper and went to Buffalo NY. That's about as far from me as you can get and still be on the same continent. It then proceeded to take a two week tour of the country. .., but it did finally arrive in good shape. Read more

Bought this as a gift for my dad, who missed his issue field jackets from way back in the (late) 70s. I was hoping for a jacket that would live up to his memories and my own memories of issued field jackets acquired in the early 90s. What I got was even better. Material was excellent. Build quality was very impressive. Zippers were quality brass. Everything about the jacket was a little better than I think anyone would have a right to expect of an issued piece of gear. My Dad loved it and everyone who say it commented on how nice it was. Big win. And of course, there's the huge win of the inherent design of this jacket. As practical and comfortable as you can get.

This is a really nice jacket, and even more so for the price. It looks and feels great, it's warmer than I would have expected, and it fits perfectly. I notice a lot of comments to the effect that the sizes are too large, but for me it fits as expected. I'm 6' and 220 lbs., and the Large fits perfectly. Definitely recommended if you're looking for a field jacket. Read more
