The quality of workmanship falls short compared to American contract versions, but at this price, it’s hard to expect more. With the minor exceptions of the material used and the zipper being sewn on the opposite side, it’s a fairly faithful replica of the original. There are some inaccuracies in the description: the tag indicates 100% polyester, and the lining—just like the original—is fastened with buttons, not a zipper.
Brandit M65 Classic Jacket - Dark Camo
All-season insulated jacket in Dark Camo camo, modeled after the iconic M-65 design. This jacket includes a hood tucked into the collar, four pockets (two on the chest and two at the waist), and traditional shoulder straps.
A precise reproduction of the M65 military cut long used by the US Army since the Vietnam War, this jacket embodies the functionality, comfort, and durability that have made it remarkably popular globally. Frequently showcased in pop culture, it's been seen on Sylvester Stallone in "Rambo", Robert De Niro in "Taxi Driver", and Bronisław Cieślak in "07 Come In".
Durable construction, warm liner
The outer layer is sewn from a combination of polyester fibers (80%) and cotton (20%), providing durability and good air circulation. Inside, there is a light polyester lining that increases wearing comfort. The jacket comes with a removable liner filled with synthetic material featuring good thermal insulation properties, ensuring optimal protection against the cold. Buttons placed at the neck and sleeves keep it securely in place. Thanks to the liner, the jacket can be worn all year round.
4 spacious pockets
The design features four practical snap-button pockets:
- two pockets on the chest
- two pockets at the waist level
Adjustable cuffs, waist drawstrings, shoulder straps
Velcro-adjustable cuffs and waist drawstrings offer a superior fit and enhanced protection against the cold. Shoulder straps accentuate the military aesthetic.
Zipper covered by a storm flap
The primary zipper is shielded by a snap-button storm flap, which provides enhanced defense against the wind and cold. Additionally, the flap minimizes the chance of the zipper jamming due to dirt, moisture, or snow.

The jacket is very well made. It has a very warm, easily detachable lining. It worked well at temperatures from +6 to -7 degrees Celsius (without the extra liner) – just a sweatshirt or shirt underneath was enough to keep me really warm. Deserved 5 stars.

Well-made, looks quite elegant, you can feel like Borewicz :) In very cold temperatures, almost reaching -20 degrees, it doesn't perform as well anymore, but overall I'm satisfied. A nice feature is the hood that can be hidden. Unfortunately, the snap buttons come undone easily on their own, and for that I deduct one star.

I bought a black M65 jacket and I am very satisfied with it. I usually wear size L, but after reading the opinions, I decided to go for size M, and it turned out to be a bullseye – it fits perfectly. I am 170 cm tall and weigh 78 kg.

I've known this jacket for many years, and I'm always glad to get such good quality for this price. With this jacket, I don't have the problem of actually using it, which often happens with much more expensive and higher-quality pieces of clothing, where potential stains or damage significantly reduce the value... The jacket is made of robust material, is well-constructed, and the fit is very good for me. I use it both as a work and everyday jacket from autumn into the cooler part of spring. The removable lining is great, as it really keeps you very warm and feels comfortable to wear. The four pockets offer plenty of storage space and are also very practical to use with the snap closures. The waist adjustment allows for an optimal fit, especially when the lining is removed. The color selection is very versatile and further underlines its positive outdoor character. It's unfortunate that there's no inner pocket. All in all, I'm very satisfied with the jacket and can gladly recommend it. The customer service and delivery by the military shop are professional and absolutely customer-oriented! Thank you very much.

I am very satisfied with the jacket – it is comfortable and keeps me warm, but I give it 4 stars because the zipper near the hood causes problems – it fastens properly, but later it comes undone in the middle by itself. Despite everything, I recommend it.
-
I came looking for a jacket that would keep me warm but at the same time could wear daily really happy I got this one the size is perfect and the materials are high quality
-
Great jacket, solid quality, suitable both for everyday use and for outdoor trips or the shooting range. Thanks to the detachable, insulated layer, it can be worn all year round.
-
The jacket is made of durable material and works great thanks to the removable lining. I think it's fantastic if you choose the right size! It's suitable for wearing all year round. Thanks to the sturdy fastening and warm lining, you can use it even on freezing days. I really like its style and functionality, so I wholeheartedly recommend this military jacket to you as well.
-
Due to its unusual cut and specific color scheme, not everyone may like this product. Ultimately, I returned the jacket, but I have to admit it is made of solid materials and provides adequate protection against the cold, which I checked myself.
-
I am very satisfied with the quality of this jacket. Thanks to the liner, it works great even in colder weather. I usually choose size M, but here the S fit well over a t-shirt, and after removing the liner I can easily wear a sweatshirt or sweater under the jacket. I decided on the cheaper model because I wasn't sure if I would like the style – it’s great, but for my next jacket I will look for a better material composition.
-
The store works efficiently. The jacket is a replica, it's good quality but it's not a Brandit M65. It just looks similar. I've worn these jackets for quite a long time, so I rate it a 3. I was specifically looking for a Brandit jacket.
-
The jacket is made of high-quality material, I'm very satisfied with it because it's hard to soak through, it's well made, and it perfectly protects against cold and wind. It has a fashionable color, fits the figure very well, and has very practical pockets. Thanks to the additional lining, you can wear it most of the year; I put it away for severe frosts and hot summer, but it serves me well for 7-8 months a year. I definitely recommend this model; it's really worth buying this jacket.
-
Great jacket, works in any weather thanks to the detachable lining. The material is very good, although it does soak through in heavy rain. It looks fantastic, has an interesting pattern, I have no complaints. I give it the highest rating.
-
I am very satisfied with the purchase of this jacket, it works great. It is very warm and solid. I use it every day, in a word: fantastic. The jackets run larger – with a height of 175 cm and a weight of 73 kg, I chose size S, which fits perfectly with the lining. After removing the lining, it's a bit too big, but I'm still delighted with it. Definitely worth recommending!
