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 inspired by the legendary M-65, this piece is crafted from a fabric blend of 80% polyester and 20% cotton, offering water resistance and robustness. It features a hood stowed in the collar, along with 4 pockets (two on the chest and two at the waist) and shoulder epaulets.
This jacket is an exact replication of the M65 design used by the US Army since the Vietnam War. Known as a classic, the M65 is functional, comfortable, spacious, and strong, garnering fans across the globe. It has appeared in many films and TV series, famously worn by characters portrayed by Sylvester Stallone in Rambo, Robert De Niro in Taxi Driver, and Bronislaw Cieslak in 07 Come On.
It includes a cotton inner lining and a zipper, to which the additional warm lining filled with synthetic fabric can be swiftly attached, making the jacket suitable for all seasons. To enhance comfort for the wearer, it is further secured with buttons sewn at the neck and sleeve ends.
For additional cold protection, Velcro adjustable cuffs and a drawstring waist are included.
The M65 model has a zipper, further shielded by a snap-fastening strip, promoting superior temperature control beneath the jacket and shielding against strong winds through the zipper. The flap also prevents the zipper from jamming due to the buildup of dirt, dust, sand, or even ice or clumps of snow.

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.
