M65 -- Best copy

[TeeDee]

I'm looking for a M65 repro - but there is a lot of copies out there - so looking for suggestions of a tried and tested one and where you got it. Thanks.

If it were me, my first port of call would be Helikon Tex. They've been making a version of the m65 jacket for a while. I've never owned it, but have a couple of their other polycotton smocks (the Pilgrim Anorak and SAS Smock) and they're both excellent. I appreciate that's not as helpful an answer as you might like. But I've got a lot of Helikon Tex kit and have always been very impressed with the quality. I've no doubt that their M65 Jacket will be no exception to this rule.

I’ve owned several M65’s , the best of which was Alpha Industries offering, incredible build quality, and very heavy.
