Quality - Excellent

Fit - oversized so make sure to downgrade size smaller.

My only comment improvement: i think the zippers snd buttons should be metal instead of plastic (Posted on 10/15/2019)

Love my Jacket Review by roger

With one exception. I have to shorten the sleeves by 2 inches. My arms are normal length and the Large size the Army issued me fit perfectly . Otherwise it is great to once again wear the best Jacket I ever owned. (Posted on 1/14/2019)

Just like my old one! Review by Ken

I just received my M-51 field jacket. Even though I entered the Army in 1966, I was issued an M-51. Using up old stock, I suppose. Once I saw the newer jackets, no epaulets, rounded collar points, I was very glad I got the older one. The only piece of gear I regretted having to turn in upon discharge was that jacket. Now I have a new one. It felt great when I put it on. I ordered one size down, as recommended, and it fits well. Thanks for making this jacket in the US. It’s worth the extra cost.

Replaced my dad's original Review by Remie

Growing up I had an original M51 jacket that had once belonged to my dad. I loved that jacket, I loved it so much I wore it into the ground. I found the Cockpit version and bought it as a replacement. Its a very accurate replacement, every button, snap and label in the exact right place. I look forward to many years of service from this jacket. (Posted on 8/8/2017)

Wonderful jacket Review by Bruce

I received your M-51 Jacket back in September as a present. It is almost an exact replica of the jacket my father had when he served in the Army in the 50's. The quality of the material and of the construction is top notch. I have worn it almost everyday since then, except when it was truly cold. Just last week, I received your Field Jacket Liner as another present, and it fits the jacket perfectly and keeps me very warm. I am a size XL and ordered a size L as is recommended. This jacket fits me perfectly and is very well made. You definitely get what you pay for.. Keep up the great work Cockpit, you now have a customer for life. (Posted on 2/22/2017)

What can I say, totally amazing! Took me back to when i was first issued one. The look, the feel, the fit....

As the saying goes, you get what you pay for and it's worth every penny.

Excellent Product Review by Joe

Inspired by a picture of my father wearing am M-1951 during the Korean War, I sought out a quality reproduction.

This jacket is a very, very good reproduction. Good stitching and quality fabric. It was worth the cost, I have an M-1951 Fishtail that was almost as expensive and has not the same high quality.

Service was good, I purchased an XL and had to return it for an XXL and that process was easy and quick.

Proud to say this is a high quality American made product.

Great Jacket Review by John

As good as my military issued M51 hanging in my closet. Despite the fact that some features, ie button in the cuff and chest do not appear on the the jacket, they slim the sleeve, which makes it fits much better. However, it is way too expensive. (Posted on 11/14/2016)
