Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Do you Alpha M-65's in short, regular and long lengths?
A: We only have these in regular length.
Q: Can you tell me please what it says on the label inside jacket and is it same colour olive green and style as a original army issue?
A: It gives height and chest measurements for each size along with the NATO size. It also lists the NATO stock number, an example of which is 8415-01-099-7841. It also says 'Coat, cold weather, man's field. Alpha Industries, inc. RN 35569, Knoxville, TN, USA. Shell: 50% Nylon / 50% Cotton. Lining: 65% Polyester, 35% Cotton'. It is the same as an original army issue.
Q: It says it has buttons for lining attachment, does it come with a lining or is that a seperate?
A: No, the lining is sold separate. Please search for ALS Liner to view this product.
Q: Is this jacket really original Alpha-Industries jacket or is it only an Alpha-Industries Design but a no-name producer of Asia or something like that?
A: This particular one is an original Alpha Industries jacket. We do also do the "no name" ones.
Q: Can you tell me the armpit to armpit measurement in inches, of the Medium and Large sizes of the Alpha Industries M65 Field Jacket?
A: The medium measures approx 24.5 inches across. The large measures approx 26.5 inches across. However, there are pleats at the side to provide extra room.
Q: What is the height range for the extra large size? Is there only one range or is extra large available in short, medium and tall?
A: This item is just available in Regular length.
Q: Whithout wanting to appear rude could you confirm that this is a genuine Alpha Industries M65 Field Jacket as in the past i have bought a reproduction
A: Yes, this is a genuine Alpha Industries jacket, complete with the Alpha tags and labels.
Q: I take a size: Chest 37 to 41 in. Height 67 to 71. Is this a large or XL?
A: According to the label inside the jacket, a Medium is suitable for 37 - 41 inch chest.
Q: If i take a size medium in an ma1 will a medium in this coat also fit?
A: These tend to come up a little larger than the MA1 as they are designed to be worn over other layers and/or with a liner.
Q: Good morning. I need your advise as I intend to purchase this product distance. And please acept my apology for the dreary correspondence. I am about 5 foot 10', and weigh 85 kgs. I take size 34 jeans. I am a normal body shape. I tried on a friend's size XL Alpha M65 and it was way too big. Is the L still bigger than we might expect in the UK? Judging by the XL, I'm leaning towards the size M but it sounds like it would be too little. Help - what size would you recommend for Tony Blair or Rick Stein or Prince Charles...?!
A: These do tend to come up rather large as they are designed to be worn over other layers and/or with a liner. I would normally recommend a size Medium for Tony, Rick or Charles, or perhaps a large if they wanted it particularly roomy.
Q: Is this coat waterproof and also is it warm?
A: It is shower-proof, not fully waterproof. We sell the ALS liner which you can put inside to make it warmer.
Q: Please could you tell me the armpit to armpit measurement, in inches, of the XSmall and Small sizes of the Alpha Industries M65 Field Jacket
A: The x-small measures approximately 21" armpit to armpit and the small size 23".
Q: hi my chest size is 49" i would like a linner to fit this jacket but i do like a genarous fit witch size would you recommend? if i had both the jacket and the linner would there be a discount?
A: If you like the size to be a little generous, then size 2XL would probably be most suitable as this is for a 49"-53" chest. If you also require a liner then you would need the same size to match the jacket. There is no discount with jacket and liner as our prices are already quite competitive.
Q: Is there a length difference between the 2XL and 3XL sizes? if so could you tell me the lengths?(from where the collar folds to the bottom along the zipper line)
A: There is no difference in length between these two sizes, it is just the chest size that increases.
