The price-to-quality ratio is very good, the jacket has a detachable liner and a stowable hood, it's like a mini version of the M65 ;) It’s probably not suitable for very cold days or below zero temperatures, especially since my son gets cold easily, but overall he is satisfied. He is about 150 cm tall and the jacket in size 146/152 is perfect for a slim boy.
A versatile children's jacket designed after the iconic M-65. The material blend (80% polyester and 20% cotton) is noted for its water resistance and robustness. It features a hood tucked away in the collar, 4 pockets (two on both the chest and waist), and shoulder epaulets.
This jacket is a precise reproduction of the M65 design used by the US military since the Vietnam War. The M65 is widely respected as practical, comfortable, spacious, strong, with a substantial global fan base. Moreover, it has appeared in numerous movies and TV series, worn by characters portrayed by famous actors such as Sylvester Stallone in Rambo, Robert De Niro in Taxi Driver, and Bronislaw Cieslak in 07 Come On.
Internally, it includes a cotton lining and a zipper, allowing the warm undercoat filled with synthetic material to be attached quickly. This ensures year-round wearability. For the child's comfort, it is stabilized with buttons at the neck and sleeves.
Extra cold protection is provided by Velcro adjustable cuffs and a drawstring waist.
The M65 model closes with a zipper, further protected by a snap-fastening strip, ensuring better temperature maintenance and wind blockage. It also prevents zipper blockages due to grime, sand, or freezing moisture or snow accumulation.

The jacket surprised me very positively, Brandit has faithfully recreated the M65 in a children's version – it only differs in details like sewn-on epaulets instead of buttoned ones, slightly different placement of the liner buttons, and another material, which is understandable. The quality is of course lower than the contract or Helikon versions (lots of loose threads, etc.), but that doesn’t matter because the happiness of my son having a jacket like Dad’s is priceless. As always, big plus to Militaria – ordered on Friday evening, the item was already in the parcel locker on Saturday morning.

I had to buy the jacket twice – the first time it was definitely too small, but the second time, when I chose a larger size, it fit perfectly. The jacket fits well, it’s warm enough even without the liner, and with the liner it isn’t cold and protects well from the wind. Rain doesn’t bother it. Instead of the hood sewn into the jacket, it’s more convenient to wear a hat, because the hood is a bit uncomfortable.

The jacket is very well made, the shipment arrived the next day, everything went perfectly. I am very satisfied with the purchase, and my grandson is as well. I will definitely use your services again.
