I've had my M65 for almost 3 decades and ive never found anything better. It really is something you buy for a lifetime. Just make sure you dont get the fancy watered down crap from companies that try to make it a fashion item.

I bought for £18 this week a NOS SuperDry M65 and aside from it being a bit on the small side for fitment, its actually pretty damned good for what it is. Best combat jacket imho is the British Army 68 issue smock, super thick material, lined and has more pockets than anything else I know of and even has a "sack warmer" flap that you button up under the crutch to give your jewels some warmth and protection from hostile environments. My main "go to" though is a genny MA1 Alpha Industries black flight jacket, had my current one 20 years and the one before that is my riding jacket covered in patches and bought that in the 90's, you won't go wrong with a MA1.

This guy wonderfully embraces every stereotype of a European we hold. I love it!

Thank you very much for breaking it down for us, very helpful.

Got an military issue 1987 from So-Sew Styles with YKK zippers it's like new 165 USD with shipping and customs

Looks like The Real McCoys discontinued the Apple Green colorway. All i see is Olive. I own the Iron Heart M65 though i still want to find TRM in this green. Its stunning. Thanks for the great videos. Love the enthusiasm!!

Thanks for the review. The buzz rickson actually fits you better in my eyes. A few corrections though, both those jackets are made from Nyco (50/50 cotton nylon blend) not 100 % cotton. Buzz rickson recreated the same specs as the original military issued M65 in materials, but they modernized the fit. Real Mccoys uses "better" materials than the original m65 and also changed the cut for a more contemporary fit. The original M65 was cut generously as they were designed to be an outer shell. The reason the Real mccoys is touted as the "best" is because they have amazing workmanship and quality materials, but they aren't the most historically accurate in terms of fit.

love this channel! just realized you are the same guy without the beard that i used to watch selvedge denim videos on! Maybe a silly question, but what do you do with the hood? do you let it hang down the back, or roll it up tight? Your collar (Real Mccoys) drapes much nicer as if there isnt a hood in there. Anyways, keep up the awesome content.

First one looked so clean!

I live in the UK and have just bought a Brandit M65. I got a small and it's a perfect fit for me. I'm tall and slim - 6" and 10.5 stone. The liner will rarely be used as it just doesn't get cold enough over here. What would I change ? I'd prefer a fleece / sherpa lining without sleeves. An inside zipped pocket would be nice and I might well remove the hood as it just makes the collar feel too bulky. Overall though, I'd say it's a good, well made jacket and one to consider.

Fantastic review. I’m in love with the shade of green on the Real McCoy jacket. I’m pretty much the same height and weight as you, what size are you wearing in the video?

Great review; thanks. How did you wash and dry the Buzz Rickson? Cheers

Amazing work!

Nice but why not army surplus M65

Thank u for shooting this film!

Отличное видео!!! Я так и знал, что Маккой победит! Не зря же купил две куртки, зелёную и чёрную! Спасибо было интересно!!!🤝✊✌

I tracked down the Real mcCoys second model, the new one from 2023. Either 825 or 860 euros in Europe, only two stores sell it. I'm hesitating; it's a shame the liner isn't included and will cost an extra 350 euros.

Is it the small sized one that you are wearing? Can I ask for your height and weight if you don’t mind. I would like to purchase the right sized one for myself. Thanks

where do you buy this green jacket? What is the brand of the green jacket? thank you

Awesome video, I ended up getting a Buzz based on all, the comments. I’m slightly taller than you and it fits like a glove! Keep up the amazing reviews and looking forward to your next videos!

If you buy an m65 for $700.00 or $800.00 I want to sell it to you !

What's the reference number on your Buzz Rickson's M-65? I have one but the zipper is absolutely fine (it's aluminum). I have the so-called "2nd model"… Looks just like yours. The weird thing with this particular one is that the sizing is US whereas their "3rd model" is definitely JP. That's why you had to make it shrink. Just my 2 cents. Anyway nice videos.

Guy lost his mind $700 lol i got mine for $25 usd. New are 65 to 85 on line

안녕하세요^^Thank you. I have a second-generation original product and used gray lining. It's my taste. a-2 leather jacket. How many? The rest of the cool guy!

When you want to show off with a gorgeous iron heart belt!!!🤣😂🤣😂🤣🤩

but, does it keep you warm?

Yikes, i think I'll stick with my alpha industries heritage M65.

? What is the first jacket you put on? Baz Rixen?

ı wanna this green jacket. Can you help me? brand ?

The only real OG M65 Jackets are US Army issued, with the liner. Combat proven....this stuff you pay out the arse for rip offs. I have an OG M65 with the liner, standard issue. Manufactured by John Ownbey Company, INC.

I was lucky enough to find a mil spec m65 jacket from a thrift store complete with combat and unit patches unfortunately no liner all for $10.95. M65 jackets make any outfit look badazz.

Hey how the is the sizing? True to size? Or size down?

this dude got the like because of how he wears his cap. that is the look.

Helikon Tex ! 👍🏻

Where can you buy the “real mccoy” jacket?

What is that hat called? Thanks

What hat is that?

Look so 😊 with wear used look

Original all the way

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻😀😀

This hat!

$700.00 USD It is a madness!!! 😬

Alpha Industries

Just get a USGI one... Mines made by alpha

Maybe its $700 japanese dollars 😂

The Best is genuine military use M65.

Please do not keep changing the camera position. It makes you nervous and in the half-profile you get the feeling that the man is talking past you.

A good vid despite the over acting

Triple aught design m65 is the best

700.dollars is ridiculous and that's not the real Mc coy

Velcro sux

Where do you get all these expensive jeans and jackets? Do you own a mens shop, are you filthy rich? Do you just spend all your money on ridiculously expensive clothes? Genuinely curious.. show me the way.

Nah that’s commie green

Buy a British army smock instead.

Japanese folks are smart and made it a sacred duty to separate a fool from its money!

Saying the Best M65 jacket is like saying the Best Yugo car. The M65 was a sloppy lookin version of a classic design. The rounded collar, the hood in the back, the Velcro closures...the thing was a mess. Such a sad way to see the field jacket end this way.
