BranditMen's M65 Giant Jacket Jacket (pack of 1)

I’d been looking at the Brandit Giant M65 for ages, I’d always wanted a field jacket and the images of this one looked spot on for my tastes with a great authentic worn look olive colour, not too over the top as if you were pretending to be in the military but just the right fashionable military look. Having searched the internet for more images of the jacket to help sway me, I was put off by the number of people modelling the jacket which appeared to be baggy and ill fitting, so I left it. Flash forward another year and I get the bug to buy a field jacket with the Brandit the best looking choice. Most reviews say to size down so I took the plunge and bought it. I’m 6 feet tall, athletic build 170/175lbs about 80kg and I got a size small. The Jacket looks flipping amazing! Snug and flattering with the lining in, still room for light layers, possibly a jumper which you wouldn’t need because the jacket is incredibly warm. More roomy without the liner but still looks great and plent of adjustability. Sleeves are just the right length when the triangular section is folded up and you can adjust the tightness with Velcro. I showed my wife the jacket and she was very impressed, stating that it looks like a £300 coat! I paid £76. The quality is fantastic at this price level, sturdy zips and poppers, even to the smallest details like the buttons that hold the liner in at the neck. I look and feel awesome wearing it. Job done Brandit 👍I don’t quite understand the ‘size up’ reviews. Maybe some reviewers aren’t being honest with themselves about what size they really are 😉

Been looking at this for a while now and finally decided to buy it! Well made very heavy and will be very warm on cold days , removable teddy lining plenty of pockets, size me 5.10ft 88kg normally XL and XL fits perfect , fast delivery also. I am sure you won’t be disappointed with this coat . I think it’s great 🙂

lovely and warm and looks great but sizing very strange , im 6 foot and 14.5 stone and ordered a meduim which was too tight so changed for a large , the listing mentions chest for a large at 38 to 41" then goes onto say its 50.4" , no way its that big as im about a 44" chest at best , if u get grey one its a bit like arnie in terminator 1 but most go for olive one

Really nice jacket. Quality is good. I'm 6'5 and went for an XL. Fits me perfectly.

07-11-20 Arrived literally the next day. It took me a while to decide what size to get as other customers had said to get a size down this always worries but on this occasion they were right. I’m usually an XL and plunged for a large. I’m 6’3” and weigh 17 stone and have a slight beer gut. My chest size is 46”. If you’ve got a big beer gut it’s advisable to go XL. The coat is quite heavy with the liner in, the overall quality is very good and I’m very pleased with it. The coat fits perfectly without the liner and unless you’re thinking of visiting the polar regions you’ll be fine without. It is slightly tight around the waist with the liner in but not uncomfortable just very slightly snug. Without it, it’s fine. Length wise is goes to about the top of the thigh just how it should. The arm length is long but they usually are with M65 style jackets. They do fold up onto Velcro fastenings. So it’s not really a problem. Overall it seems like a very good well made jacket. It’ll keep you dry in a light shower but if it bins it down you’ll get soaked. If it’s cold it’ll certainly keep you warm! And on top of that it looks pretty cool. Overall I’m very pleased with it, but please be aware of the sizing. Go for it!

I pondered over the size for about a week. I couldn't tell myself I was getting into a Medium so went for the Large, more worried about the "Orangutan " arms length. But it was absolutely fine. There are some weird triangle bits you can velcro back into the sleeves so I think maybe that was factored into the measurement. The quality is very nice, though a bit crumpled when you unpack.No stripes on the arms of the navy jacket. The side pockets are a bit small but the front pockets are decent. I'm 5.9.46" chest, it's snug but not tight.185lbs, 13½ stone for the Brits. I'm sat down and it's not tight,pulling or uncomfortable. This is gonna be warm!I got it based on a 2nd hand German tank suit I had years ago. It was off the wall warm. Be warned, with the liner ( I won't be removing it) it maybe too warm unless it's really cold.Hope this helps as some of the reviews helped me.

Love this jacket - better than expected. Worn daily last year, mainly on dog walks. Washes well, plenty of pockets but no inside pocket which would have been nice.The liner is only for seriously cold weather and have only used a couple of times - its too thick for most UK weather and does bulk up the jacket which limits movement. Nice to have though.The jacket is difficult to size though. A medium is probably right size if you use the liner but 99% of the time I use this jacket without the liner so it does feel oversized, but still okay. (I am 5' 11" and 40-42" chest and medium is the right option. If you are taller / larger medium could still be good if you dont want to use the liner.Good jacket though, relaxed fit and multiple uses

For a near £100 jacket I would have expected better quality and fit.Even though I followed the sizing guidelines on here these jackets are too tight across the chest and the sleeves to arm pit dimensions are tiny. If you want to zip up the jacket and have full arm movements forget it because they are too tight in that area. It gets a lot worse if you then fit the liner.Also if you carry a normal sized wallet the two chest pockets are way too small to accommodate other than a smallish mobile phone. Lower pockets are just a dire and if you are lucky and you even get your wallet in there chances are you can not fit your hand in there to retrieve it.Find a better style of this jacket and avoid Brandit jackets because they are made down to a price and not a quality..
