Hello Everyone!
Hope you've had a great week.
Today we're summarizing all that we've been discussing over the past few weeks and putting forward what we believe is the best M65 Jacket.
Hope you enjoy!
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.
Nice but why not army surplus M65
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.
50/50 NYCO is 3rd release, the video is 2nd release from buzz Rickson
My mistake, thanks for the clarification
This guy wonderfully embraces every stereotype of a European we hold. I love it!
🤣
Got an military issue 1987 from So-Sew Styles with YKK zippers it's like new 165 USD with shipping and customs
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 have an croatian m65 field jacket
Yeah, yeah. So tell me where there's an Army Navy surplus store i can pop into like i did in the eighties and pick one up for so cheap even a high school kid had the money on him for it.
@@ButterfatFarms Get a Helikon-Tex m65 , They are Awesome HIGH QUALITY - a remake but made to 100% true original MILITARY specs and affordible ! Not overpriced "Fashion -copy - Hipster crap" from japan !
@@motorrebell What i do say since 2017. If you can't get a decent G.I. standard issue, say many of the DoD firms, get nowadays a licensed replica from Helikon-Tex. Own 4-5 Alphas (standard issues, also black & green, darkblue), 3 black brandit, and a black Helikon M65, soon the green M65 Helikon, too.
Thank u for shooting this film!
$700.00 USD It is a madness!!! 😬
Real McCoy’s green m65 is $751 on their website now. I was in Japan a couple weeks ago and got it in their Japan store for about $600. 😅 still expensive but quality is much better than my black alpha industries one.
@@cc50378n Get a Helikon-Tex m65 , They are Awesome HIGH QUALITY - a remake but made to 100% EXACT COPY with true original HEAVY DUTY MILITARY specs and VERY affordable ( approx 100 EUROS ! ) ! Not a totally overpriced "Fashion -copy - for Cocaine Hipster - crap" from japan !
😂 For this sum of money you can buy 7 or more real, genuine military issue M65 or M51 field jacket ....not a "fancy" copy. 😂😂😂😂
@@cc50378nIf you wanna real Alpha try to find those under army contract ( DSA or DLA) and you got genuine military m65 . All those "woaah.. what a quality!!" you got with ordinary but military M65, not those comercial repros.
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?
I am wearing size medium / 38. 👊
Guy lost his mind $700 lol i got mine for $25 usd. New are 65 to 85 on line
Indeed , Or get a Helikon-Tex m65 , They are Awesome HIGH QUALITY - a remake but made to 100% EXACT COPY with true original HEAVY DUTY MILITARY specs and VERY affordable ( approx 100 EUROS ! ) ! Not a totally overpriced "Fashion -copy - for Cocaine Hipster - crap" from japan !
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
First one looked so clean!
where do you buy this green jacket? What is the brand of the green jacket? thank you

Thank you very much for breaking it down for us, very helpful.
Thanks so much. 🙏
If you buy an m65 for $700.00 or $800.00 I want to sell it to you !
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.
Have the standard M65 Brandit, and the "M65 Giant" Brandit, too. Both are made in China, and the quality isn't like say my Helikon-tex, simple as that.
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!!
TRM might be good, for my taste, it's way overpriced stuff.
Yikes, i think I'll stick with my alpha industries heritage M65.
but, does it keep you warm?
Amazing work!
A question. How is The Real Mccoy version 2?
Hey! Are you referring to J24 or A2? Both are awesome.
Great review; thanks. How did you wash and dry the Buzz Rickson? Cheers
Gentle cycle wash and cotton drying setting on my dryer…cheers 👊👊
Hey how the is the sizing? True to size? Or size down?
Which jacket are you thinking of?
its made in asia man good luck even with sizing up
ı wanna this green jacket. Can you help me? brand ?

嗜好若能配合需要那就完美，不然就是玩物喪志，越戰時期的鋁拉鏈M65我個人經驗是比以後的銅拉鏈M65重量輕一些也比較不耐穿、操，至於價格因個人能力不同，能買到就感謝上帝了，能買到近70年且穿了帥氣又保暖呀！
? What is the first jacket you put on? Baz Rixen?
Buzz Rickson's
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.
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!
That's awesome! thanks so much. 👊👊👊👊
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.
Get a military standard "G.I. Joe" issue. That kind of money for a "fashion" M65 is insane.
Отличное видео!!! Я так и знал, что Маккой победит! Не зря же купил две куртки, зелёную и чёрную! Спасибо было интересно!!!🤝✊✌
Отлично спасибо большое
Where can you buy the “real mccoy” jacket?
Unfortunately, it's sold out on the The Real McCoy's site however you may be able to find it at another retailer or used on Ebay. A quick google search will bring up the one closest 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.
Thanks so much. 👊 👊 👊 Yes, I have the 2nd model, but my zipper is very hard to close. 😂
Helikon Tex ! 👍🏻
INDEED !! Helikon-Tex m65 , They are Awesome HIGH QUALITY - a remake but made to 100% true original MILITARY specs and affordable ! Not overpriced "Fashion -copy - Hipster crap" from japan !
@@motorrebell That's absolutely right, but unfortunately Helikon-Tex jackets are not available in long sizes.
When you want to show off with a gorgeous iron heart belt!!!🤣😂🤣😂🤣🤩
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!
Thank you for your comment 🙏
What is that hat called? Thanks
Mechanics Cap Type A-3. 👊
this dude got the like because of how he wears his cap. that is the look.
Original all the way
700.dollars is ridiculous and that's not the real Mc coy
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.
Thats a score.. 👊 👊
Definitely. I tend to wear it with a V neck sweater over the dress shirt and tie. Sharpness with a blend of military edge💯
What hat is that?
Alpha Industries
Only the old " MADE IN USA " ones !
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.
Real McCoy yes great jacket but £700 dollars 😳
Look so 😊 with wear used look
The Best is genuine military use M65.
Maybe its $700 japanese dollars 😂
This hat!
Just get a USGI one... Mines made by alpha
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻😀😀
Japanese folks are smart and made it a sacred duty to separate a fool from its money!
A good vid despite the over acting
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.
Velcro sux
Nah that’s commie green
Triple aught design m65 is the best
Buy a British army smock instead.
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.
Whatever, the M-65 is not for you. Move it along. The genuine one i had back in the eighties was a great jacket.
@@ButterfatFarms yeah but it looked sloppy on you!
