"Proper offers true to size clothing i. e. I needed "tall" in addition to large and the other outlets don't go this far. In addition, this company sends out an extremely high-quality product in fit and finish"

"Great coat and true to size! Propper in my opinion offers the closest thing you can get to USGI M-65 field jacket! All season jacket with removable liner included. Black is a hard color to obtain, so I got one as soon as I could! Looking forward to the cold weather!"

"Just received the M65 in woodland camo. It fits beautifully, is very comfortable and very good looking. At the same time it is very practical and you cannot beat the price. Highly recommend."

"The field jacket is a good quality, although not as sturdy as the original M-65 jacket that I had back in the 1970's in the USMC. One point that can make the jacket a bit better is if the sleeve cuffs were tighter. They need more hook & loop so that the wrist and arms have a better closure to keep the wind from entering the sleeves. A second point is the interior waste cord should be a more sturdy material. I can see down the road where the current material will fail. I will fish some paracord through it and remove the current (cotton?) cord."

"This isn’t a jacket. It’s a statement of intent. The black M65 doesn’t ask who you are—it decides for you. Heavy fabric, no shine, no nonsense. It sits on your shoulders like it knows the weight you carry and doesn’t complain about it. Four pockets, all business. Enough room for what you need, none for what you don’t. If you’re looking for flair, keep walking. The fit is disciplined. Structured without being stiff. It moves when you move, stays put when you stop. The collar comes up when the weather turns ugly—or when you want the world to keep its distance. Zipper and snaps feel solid, like they won’t fail when things go sideways. Black, not fashion black—working black. The kind that hides grime, rain, blood, and bad nights. The kind that doesn’t show wear so much as it earns it. This jacket looks better the longer it survives. You don’t wear an M65 like this to be noticed. You wear it because it works. Because it lasts. Because when the job is done and the lights go out, it’s still there, same as you."

"Bought it for my son. Fit is good. The only issue is the liner doesn't line up with the jacket on two buttons on right side so liner bunches up a little in the top side."
