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

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’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 😉

I had been eying these jackets up for some time and finally decided to take the plunge. I had heeded previous reviews about them being on the large side and so ordered a large and a medium together, intending to return the ill-fitting one. So, I’m 182cm, 93kg with a 111cm chest. I like a reasonably snug fit with the lining zipped in, as it’s so warm you can seriously get away with a tee shirt underneath and so the medium is the size that suited. Liner removed, the medium gives you sufficient space to wear a sweater if desired. Well made, warm (with liner) and comfortable. This is a versatile jacket.It is a relatively dry weather jacket, don’t forget. The cotton construction gives protection in only light rain.

Probably the best jacket I’ve ever bought. Good quality and with the lining in it’s super warm. Even without he lining it’s still warm. It’s rather bulky with the lining in but I like that, bulky with lining in and not baggier with the lining out. Looks good either way. Great jacket that will work with all seasons. I’m a muscular 6 footer with big arms, shoulder and chest and the XL fits me perfect

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

Right here goes. I’m 6ft3 about 17 stone and I bought the 3xl camo jacket. It fits perfectly. Slightly big so you can wear a hoodie or some type of winter top easily. It feels very heavy and snug on. The collar strap is a good inclusion. The arms were perfect for me. Just to my knuckles when fully open. These can be strapped up if you want then shortened by an inch or 2. The lining is zipped in and a fleece type of material inside whereas you get a padded quilted back with long arms. These are also buttoned in at the cuff of the inner jacket. It’s very cozy. In the summer you can remove this if you wish. The only downsize for me was the 4 pockets. I wanted them oversized but although I can get my hand in them it’s a tight fit and I wanted to have a few shells in each side but I amOnly griping a bit here. The jacket looks great and feels great on too. I was out shooting with it today and no movement issues or jacket been too tight across the back or arms. Quite like the name tags stitched in front too. I would never buy a 3xl in anything else but as I’m normally a 2xl jacket I went one up and was very happy I did. Looking forward to hunting in this jacket with these cold days coming in.

This jacket is very well made and far more stylish than it looks on the photograph. I wore it while standing out at a vigil for two hours in temperatures of 5°C and I was kept warm and comfortable. Great jacket, I'd recommend it to anybody. I'm 5 feet 10, medium build, the medium size fits perfectly. You won't need many under layers.
