This jacket is fantastic! It is admittedly quite heavy together with the lining, but for me that is exactly how it should be! It does not restrict movement. Very warm; on frosty evenings, a T-shirt underneath is enough. The material is durable - branches and small thorns from bushes are nothing to worry about. Spacious pockets. The zipper seems too short and set in too high at first glance, but when you fasten the jacket it turns out to be positioned perfectly - it protects well against the wind and does not get in the way when bending over. In short - buy it without hesitation and wear it, wear it, wear it...
Brandit M65 Giant Jacket with Removable Liner - Navy
A navy blue all-season jacket drawing inspiration from the iconic American M65 field jacket, renowned globally for its practicality and resilience. Crafted from a blend of polyester and cotton, the design includes a removable insulated liner, a hood tucked away within the tall collar, and four functional pockets. The exterior cotton layer comes pre-distressed in the standard version, giving the jacket a vintage-inspired faded look.
The M65 stands as a legendary piece with a storied background: this jacket has featured prominently in numerous movies and television shows, donned by notable characters such as Sylvester Stallone in “Rambo,” Robert De Niro in “Taxi Driver,” and Bronisław Cieślak in “07 Come In.”
Durable materials, warming liner
The outer shell is crafted from 100% cotton and has been factory aged to achieve a distinctive vintage washed look. The interior features a polyester lining, secured with a zip closure. The lining utilizes terry cloth technology, enhancing comfort and increasing thermal insulation properties. For greater user convenience, the inner layer is further stabilized by buttons sewn at the neck and sleeves, preventing unwanted shifting and ensuring unrestricted comfort and mobility.
4 spacious pockets
The M65 Giant features two spacious chest pockets and two waist pockets, perfect for carrying essentials like your phone, wallet, gloves, or hat. All pockets are secured with press studs.
Hidden hood, shoulder epaulets
Featuring a hood that can be conveniently concealed within the high stand-up collar, the jacket allows optimal adaptation to changing weather conditions. Shoulder straps deliver an additional military-inspired accent.
Cold and wind protection strip, adjustable cuffs
The primary closure features a durable zipper, reinforced by an additional windproof flap secured with snaps. This flap enhances thermal insulation and shields the zipper from potential blockage caused by dust or dirt. Velcro-adjustable cuffs along with ribbing at the waist and hem enable you to customize the fit of the jacket, providing extra protection against cold and wind.

Review summary
The Brandit M65 Giant jacket is highly rated for its durability, comfort, and functional design. Customers appreciate the solid materials, thick and warm removable lining, and the timeless, military-inspired style. The jacket is suitable for year-round use thanks to adjustable features and the possibility of wearing it with or without the lining, making it warm enough for winter and versatile for spring and autumn. Numerous spacious pockets are a strong advantage, enabling users to carry all essentials without needing a backpack. Most users praise the jacket’s ability to block wind and cold effectively, although some note that the cotton fabric absorbs water quickly in heavy rain. Sizing is generally considered generous, so buyers strongly recommend consulting the size chart or choosing a smaller size. Recurrent minor issues include the lack of inner pockets, the relatively heavy weight, and occasional loose threads. Some find the fit too loose without the lining, but overall, the jacket is lauded for its practicality, resilient build, and classic appeal. Many highlight the jacket as a favorite over the years, confirm excellent customer service and appreciate the fast delivery. The Brandit M65 Giant is commonly recommended as a reliable, all-purpose jacket suitable for both urban and outdoor activities, making it a top choice for those seeking a functional and stylish outerwear option.

I received my order yesterday! The black jacket looks fantastic – it's stylish and high-quality. The lining is also impressive, and it works great as a separate piece of clothing. The cut is successful; the jacket is longer than I expected, which I consider an advantage. The sleeves are quite long, with the option to adjust them with Velcro, which I like. It is suitable for year-round use and various occasions. Although it’s not the lightest, it provides comfort, and its weight is not an issue. Size S is actually closer to M, but for this style it doesn’t make much difference. It fits perfectly. The price is a bit high, but the jacket is so great that it was worth buying and enjoying its quality.

The jacket is sturdy and well made. It keeps you very warm and has a fleece lining on the inside. I chose a slightly larger size so that I could wear an additional hooded fleece sweatshirt underneath it for Canadian conditions. I really appreciate Brandit clothing. The delivery was fast and went without any problems.

I have been wearing the olive version for two and a half years; the jacket is comfortable, functional, and durable, and it also looks great. Size L fits well after removing the insulation and leaves room for a thicker sweatshirt at 184 cm and 94 kg of non-fat body weight. I definitely recommend it.

The jacket fits perfectly in size, it sits as if it were tailor-made. I believe that everyone should have their own 65 in the wardrobe and definitely will not be disappointed with it. A perfect jacket for every season!

The jacket is great and I fully agree with the positive reviews. HOWEVER: the black fabric picks up lint very badly. You can clean it endlessly with a lint roller. I’ve already tried various methods, but nothing worked. I’ll probably buy the same model again in a light camouflage pattern.

Size: M
I was not satisfied with the quality — the outer material feels cheap and quite thin, and threads are sticking out of the seams in many places. The pockets are too small. Size M was also too tight, even though according to the comments it is supposed to run larger; in my opinion, that is not the case. In the end, I had to return the product.

Size: XL
I chose the olive-colored version and I am very satisfied with this jacket. The lining makes an excellent impression — it is warm and pleasant. The cut is very successful, classic, and timeless. The sleeves are rather long, but they can be rolled up and secured with Velcro; additionally, they have cuffs that protect against the wind. Because of the lining, the jacket is not among the lightest, however, it is very comfortable to wear. I ordered size XL and at a height of 183 cm it fits perfectly.

The jacket turned out to be exactly what I expected. I already bought another one just in case, even though I already have two M65 Giant jackets at home. This model works well from autumn to spring, among other things thanks to the warm, detachable teddy lining, which makes it very versatile.

Size: M
This is a very nice jacket, and its high quality is visible and noticeable from the very first wear. The removable lining proves to be very functional and effectively provides warmth on cooler days. I also like its cut, numerous pockets, and the successful black design.

Great quality. Excellent jacket. I had been planning to buy it for a very long time, and finally I did. I hope it will last for years. Shipping was incredibly fast. I ordered the item on Sunday, and it was with me on Monday. I recommend it.

This is a very stylish jacket, carefully finished and giving the impression of being durable. It has plenty of pockets, a warm lining, and a comfortable fit. It is great for colder days, and its military style looks really good.

You will definitely like this jacket. It has a great cut, good material, perfectly designed pockets, and a fabric that feels very pleasant to the touch. It works well all year round, both with a T-shirt and a sweatshirt. The detachable lining is a big advantage. It is stylish, fits beautifully, and suits every occasion 👍 I definitely recommend it. Military eu is a fantastic online store. Every time I am completely satisfied.

I look at some of the reviews and wonder — maybe I bought some different jacket? But no, the jacket, unfortunately, is a poor-quality canvas material, lined with something resembling a lining. The pockets are impractical (it’s difficult to put your hand into a pocket), and they’re not nearly as deep as described. I bought the jacket for roughly 190 cm and up, but unfortunately the sleeves are for a guy 210 cm tall, and my arms are not short. The jacket with the liner fits better, but after detaching it? A disaster. It hangs like a sack. It’s scary to think about the first rain, although I don’t even know if I’ll wear it at all. I understand that this is not an original 1:1, but it also can’t be some manufacturer’s variation on the great M65 jacket. Poor quality, not worth the price. One more thing: I read in the reviews that the jacket is sewn in Germany. What naivety! China, unless they outsourced the sewing to Vietnam. P.S. The hood, in this case, is only nominally something that can be called a hood.

Hello. I’m approaching seventy, so I finally decided to treat myself. Many years ago I had a similar jacket, but someone stole it from me in an inn. It’s a great jacket, and at the current price I can finally afford it. Yes, it has certain drawbacks, but they can be overlooked. The size matches the chart and fits very well. Don’t wait as long as I did to buy it.
