Propper Poly / Cotton Ripstop BDU Coats

the product is very well made

I don't know that I would call this a "coat", because it really isn't heavy enough, but it is a great light jacket. I ordered the black and the khaki to use as samples for our local collegiate veterans' group, and they are perfect. No comment on durability yet, as they haven't been put to the test, but they feel up to standard and then some. The fabric feels strong and holds its shape after washing, the color is great, and I think they will need very little maintenance to look good. The only question is the sizing, which seems to run just a little large, but not so big as to be a problem.

I have several Propper BDU Coats and love them. Fit well, wear well. Can't do better.

This, however, is quite exceptional for field gear. Better than most off the rack suits, actually. I am well satisfied. Note: I especially like the handling of the pockets (hidden buttons), as mine are usually stuffed with spare clips and I don't like the rather sloppy "unbuttoned" look of most other BDUs.

I got a set of XXL's. My measurements are slightly greater than XL according to the size chart. While the torso fits perfectly, the arms are friekishly huge in terms of length and width. I thought I accidentaly ordered a Long set. I didn't. The elbow stiching rests on my forearm, and I'm 6' tall. Not a problem sleeves up but the underarm and shoulder areas remain baggy. Hope the dryer can help because downsizing is not an option as the torso would be tight on me. Bugs the heck out of me because this is a great brand that makes quality uniforms. MAYBE I could fit an XL but I don't want to pay shipping twice to return the one I have. If you are borderline then go with the smaller size. The 2X pants fit me just fine since I have a large rear end. Just a little baggy by the crotch. Time to lose weight.
