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: 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: 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: 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.
Q: Is this is a rustle-free 'soft' material?
A: Although it is not a 'stealth' material, it is still relatively soft.
Q: can you tell me if this has a silver zipper with an extra piece of material on the zip
A: It has a gold zipper with a piece of material the same colour as the jacket attached.
Q: I have a Rothco M65..which is a Small Regular (SR) size..but I notice this size isn't listed, what size should I order?
A: All our Alpha M65 jackets are regular length, so just order Small.
Q: does it the jacket have ALPHA stamped on the zip on the collar ?
A: Yes it does.
Q: I currently have an M65 regiment field jacket. It is much cheaper cost wise than the Alpha Industries M65 field jacket which is suprising as the M65 Regiment jacket has a really warm lining and the Alpha industries one does not. Can you tell me why the Alpha jacket is more expensive as it appears to have less going for it apart from being made famous due to Stallone wearing an older version of it in the movie 'first blood'
A: Alpha Industries invented this style of jacket and so they are the only ones that can claim to be producing the 'original and authentic' ones. Alpha also have a reputation of producing extremely high quality garments.
Q: I know this has ahood in the collar ,but can you buy a seperate more substantial hood?
A: The only separate hoods we sell are the Buffalo hoods. These are certainly more substantial, but of a different shade of green/black to the jackets. They also attach to Buffalo jackets via velcro which the Alpha jacket doesn't have, so you'd have to either sew the hood on, or attach a strip of velcro to the jacket, but it is achievable.
Q: I was thinking of buying this jacket for my husband for Xmas, can you buy it with the liner?? I'd prefer to have both for him.
A: Yes we also sell the liner, product ref 01026.
Q: Hello, can you tell me the depth of the lower pockets on a large size Alpha Industries M65 Field jacket please? Regards, Bob.
A: The lower outer pockets are approximately 7 inches from the top of the pocket to the bottom.
Q: Is this jacket suitable enough to either iron/sew on a flag patch onto the sleeves?
A: Yes it would be fine (and look pretty good!).
Q: Is the main zip fastener opposite to UK when zipping up, ie is the mainzip mechanism on the left or right.
A: It is opposite to the UK, so the main zip pull is on the right.
Q: Does it include ALS/92 Jacket Liner?
A: No, these are sold separately.
