Hmm okay, that makes it a bit trickier. Some medium US-sized coats are a bit roomy for me.TTS US sizing.

Compare measurements. Not rocket science.Hmm okay, that makes it a bit trickier. Some medium US-sized coats are a bit roomy for me.
Part of the process of course, but value opinions/experiences just as much, especially when it comes to high-end import items. Often a hassle to return if it isn't right — so I want to inform myself as well as possible .Compare measurements. Not rocket science.
Recently rewatched Band of Brothers and wondered who made all the uniform clothing. Also made me think how versatile a M65 could be in my winter wardrobe.It depends what do you prefer.
I had RMC M65 for 4 years and sold it because I got military issued M65 by Alpha Industries from 1972 in mint condition.
Regarding comparison between the two I would say that RMC M65's body silhouette is modernized aka slimmed as well as sleeves (they are wide enough but not baggy at all), the stitching is neater done, the cotton sateen is very similar in color and touch to the original, maybe just a touch more luxurious and overall the RMC version looks and feels more like an "urban version" compared to the real thing. After 4 years of intense wear (>200 wears total) and 4 washes it still looked almost brand new. It is fantastic jacket.
However I prefer the real M65, I prefer its silhouette and overall feel when I wear it. There is something about it that even RMC couldn't replicate.
If this is the photo of jacket you will get then it is definitely the previous RMC M65 model (MJ9115), not the current one (MJ22107) with updated fit.Went ahead and tried my luck on an eBay auction first. Won a "new with tags" Real McCoy's M-65 with liner for +/- 50% discount compared to the price on the official website. And don't need to worry about import fees. Can't wait to receive it .
Edit: added pic of the coat.

You're correct. But that is not an issue. I've been watching older videos about M-65 jackets, so the jacket I've been most exposed to/researching is the one I'll receive .If this is the photo of jacket you will get then it is definitely the previous RMC M65 model (MJ9115), not the current one (MJ22107) with updated fit.
Always interested in hearing stories & perspectives, especially from veterans.As a Vietnam vet '67/'68 I am drop jawed amazed at the fascination with the lowly field jacket. I threw mine away when I got out and in those days the only civilians who wore them were hobos and hippies. Well I guess I was what you'd call a hippie for a number of years but no field jackets for me.
I will always enjoy reminding others of the time and the despicable treatment of those who answered the call. And if all it takes is wearing a jungle jacket, all the better.As a Vietnam vet '67/'68 I am drop jawed amazed at the fascination with the lowly field jacket.
