@AdamJ sad news but thanks for confirming!

I found one of these at a USA retailer in XL and pulled the trigger. I had been eyeing it, and didn't want to wait years for a potential re-run. I plan on laundering the jacket a few times right off the rip to knock some of that flat newness off of it, and give it more drape. I can't wait, thing looks like a beast and perfect for South East USA where it doesn't get super cold, and many days in the 50 degree F range.

@Southern Congrats man, you'll love it. One of my all time favourites.
(And as a result I have it in both olive and black. I left a little review in the thread for the black version earlier this year). -
I gave my m65 a wash today the only thing i don’t like about this jacket is it’s not waterproof
-
@Mindfulbiscuit The jacket looks great on you! Does it have an inside pocket? Unfortunately the sizing doesn’t work for me with this jacket otherwise I would have bought one by now.
-
@Denman-John yeah it has an internal pocket to be honest it’s not the ultimate perfect fit a bit snug in the shoulder area and arms a bit long and arm holes a tad tight but I still really like it and the next size would be to big

@EastClintwood Sadly, the no is firm for this season. You could always try putting an ad in the WTB section of the marketplace for a gently used one. You might get lucky.
You could also look at the different retailers and see if they have something in your size.

I’m considering getting one of these in olive. I’m curious to see how they age. A quick glance didn’t seem to give any progression photos. What does it look like after two or three years of wear and say 15-20 washes? I’ve got a couple of vintage authentic military issue M65 jackets off ebay and really love how they have aged and would hope these age well.
Hey, it's been 4 years since you posted this. Did you buy one? How did it age?
Would love to see it.

@EastClintwood Sorry, but it doesn’t look like the poster has been on the forum for the last 2 years. Last time they were on the forum was December 2022.

@neph93 I realize this is an old post but I wanted your input regarding the “articulated” front pockets …
I notice in pictures that they can look sagged out on the bottom and sides. I might not be describing that perfectly but I hope you know what I mean.
Do the pockets fold or tuck back into shape and remain there when they are empty or do they stay in this sagged out shape?
I’m going to a local retailer to see one of these today.
Thank you, Brian
