Ok, so I am 6'1" - 210lbs with rather broad shoulders and ordered Medium. It fits me like a parka with a t shirt only but it looks good with a sweater. I threw it in the washing machine in hot water and after that twice in the drier at high heat to brake it in. ..... Beautiful! It shrank a bit but not much. A size S would have been a lot slicker but wouldn't allow me to wear anything under. Sleeves are the usual re****ded width as the military issued M65s...I hate them but if rolled up a bit it's not that bad.

Get two sizes smaller. NO kidding. Great coat, great material. Ordered XL. Will now order a medium. i am 5 ft 10 in. 220 pounds.. weightlifter.. The waist on this thing is HUUUGE. It is box cut, so chest is huge on this thing too. Debating whether to order a large and then get my alteration lady to taper it, but will go for a medium with fingers crossed.

I have had several M-65 Field jackets. In fact, I have worn them since I left the military in 1989 because of their proven durability. This jacket is not made to that quality standard. After just a few months use, the pocket is fraying. For the price of these jackets, that is not acceptable. I will probably go with Propper on the next one. Very disappointed.

Está un poco chica y ajustada, no son los cortes amplios que comenta la mayoria, si quieren usar una sudadera abajo, recomiendo una talla más arriba

I love this jacket. I got the medium should have gotten a small. I am going to try shrink it in the dryer. Can’t wait to wear it. Soon as my patches are on it. Thinking of ordering another only in a small. Still keeping my medium. It’s a stunning jacket!!!!

This is a great jacket. I live in Northern Alberta and it keeps me warm in winter (granted I do layer underneath the jacket). The zipper is, as previously reported by others stiff, but works ok. I had an army surplus jacket similar to this when I was a kid and was looking for the same loose fit, So I am only going to add to the size debate. I am normally a size XL and I purchased an XL (and not a size smaller as recommended in other reviews). I wanted to be able to wear layers underneath yet still have the jacket fit loose enough that I could shovel snow. I am totally happy with my purchase.

This is a Rothco version of the iconic Military Standard Field Coat, 1965, worn by DeNiro in "Taxi Driver", Schwarzenegger in "Terminator", and Stallone in "Rambo". When someone says "Old Army Jacket", this is the one they mean! Versions of the M65 patterned in camouflage were issued to solders well into 2000's. This jacket can accept a removable button-in cold weather liner (sold separately). I have been wearing an original M65 since High School days (1970s) and need to replace my tattered old friend.This "Vintage" version is made of stonewashed 100% cotton, (instead of cotton/nylon) which makes it VERY COMFORTABLE. They also reduced the size of the massive front pockets and added an (easily removable) velcroed-on ROTHCO logo. But the best thing about this jacket is that it fits and feels like the original. I am 6'1", 240lbs, and usually wear an XL. This jacket fits me perfectly in L. I don't need the liner, I just wear a thin zippered hoodie underneath on cold days. The M65 does not have hand warmer pockets, it is meant to be worn with gloves.For me, this jacket is a perfect replacement for my old friend, perfect for bumming around. Choose wisely, there are a lot of M65 Jackets out there, all slightly different.

LOVE this jacket. Here's my 2 cents on the size issue: I'm 6'2" 265lbs. I always wear 3XL. Based on reviews here, I ordered a 2XL. Long story short, it fits fine, but my preference would be for it to be a bit looser. For big guys, I do NOT recommend sizing down. Go with your "gut"...(see what I did there?) I will not be able to layer as much as I'd like to. It will end up being a Fall/Spring jacket in my wardrobe. As far as quality, it's a wonderful product. Looks and feels "well worn". Very solid and durable construction. I also customized it with my own patches. Definitely a 5 star purchase that you will not regret. Just remember...this is NOT a conventional M-65. Rothco makes those too. Be aware of the difference.

I just got my jacket today and I'm very happy with the purchase. It's fairly heavy which is going to be great in the colder months, and it looks very well made and durable (that makes me feel a lot better about the $65 I spent on it).If any other women are looking into this jacket, here's how mine fits...I'm somewhere between 5'7" and 5'8", 120lbs. I fit into a size small but normally buy a medium for extra space and comfort. I bought the jacket in an XS and I'm still swimming in it. The jacket comes about halfway down my thigh and the sleeves are long on me, but not to the point that I look like I have slender man arms. It's wide in the chest. Basically, it's going to look like you're wearing a man's coat (which it obviously is).Great product, very happy with the purchase. If I could change one thing, maybe include the liner with the jacket.

Classic style, well made jacket.Fits a little large if not using a liner(not included) but the built in hood and deep pockets are great.

Man, the U.S. military can design some really great clothing.First thing's first to anyone thinking of getting one of these jackets. A reference. I am around 5'10" and 160lbs (slender dude). I ordered an X-SMALL and it's slightly big on me. If you are looking to buy one of these to wear around casually without any other layers underneath, order two sizes down from your norm.With that out of the way, let's speak of the quality. The Ultra Force jacket we're currently speaking of is 100% cotton which makes it sit very lightly on the body as opposed to the Deluxe versions Rothco makes that are comprised of 55% cotton and 45% polyester and come with a winter liner. I own one of the deluxe versions (at a size medium, haha, I swim in it) and they sit a bit heavier and stiff on the body. This Ultra Force Vintage M-65 is much more comfortable to wear and feels as though the material is going to make this jacket last a significantly long time.Now, for those of you worried about the removal of the "Ultra Force" patch above the right breast-pocket, removal is easy. It's just velcro and can be ripped off. The under side of the velcro can also be removed from the jacket with a seam ripper. This will get one closer to the original look of the jacket, if that is one's wont.With this jacket comes plenty of pocket space, a built-in, concealable hood and an extremely heavy-duty gold zipper. Along with all of this versatility comes a very stylish look, making the jacket all the more tempting to purchase, haha!My bottom-line:The Ultra-Force Vintage M65 field jacket is a comfortable, versatile, and stylish looking jacket just begging to be worn. When factoring in all of these qualities, the cost of the jacket doesn't seem all that bad anymore.
