@Brandrea So I finally received the jacket, but I quickly found out that XL is too big for me, so I'll be sending it back to the shop in Switzerland where I bought it.
For anyone interested, the M65 in XL will soon be available at Feinfracht.com once they process my return. They also have it in XXL and XXXL.
Big shoutout to them for their excellent customer service.
@Brandrea Sounds good! I’m a bit skeptical any jacket can keep me warm at -35°C (-31°F) with just a T-shirt, though—that’s northern Sweden for you. 
That said, I much prefer a relaxed fit over the fitted second-skin look, though I understand that many (or most) people appreciate that style.
Edit: Saw your pics with the jacket. XL looks perfect on you.

What sort of pin is that? Is it attached with a pin or through the buttonhole?
Anyone?
@Brandrea
Alright, thanks anyway!
I actually found the jacket in XL at a shop in Bern, Switzerland just yesterday and ordered it. Looks like we might’ve snagged the last two XLs in the world, haha.
You and I have very similar measurements so I’m pretty sure it’ll fit—but I’m still keeping an eye out for an L just in case.
@Brandrea
A chill fit is the best fit. I picture that going for a for a larger size only adds to the coat-like vibes, which I definitely enjoy.
It's looking ace on you! Can't wait to receive mine.

@seminolepilot looks like a killer fit. Im same size and sooooo on fence with L/XL. Id like the layer room but the arms are sooooo un proportionally long sizing up. Almost 3 in longer than most jacket
. Curious how much of those chest and shoulder measurements gets eatin up by the lining as well
Im in the same boat.
6' 1", 176 lbs, 43.3" chest.
(184cm, 80kg and 110cm chest)
I prefer a relaxed fit, so I'm leaning towards the XL, but I'm a bit worried about the sleeve length. So L is also tempting. If I go with the L, I’m ready to probably only wear it with a t-shirt.
@Ross
Patiently waiting for the army green. You think it's coming before Xmas?

@Ross Courtney's measurements are missing on the list you linked.

@evel That's a great look! It's exactly the fit I'm aiming for. I don't own the N1 yet, but I fully intend to. Could I ask for your size and measurements?

It would be cool if they made a hooded version of the oiled N1 someday. After all, the main purpose of the oil treatment is rain protection.
@Brandrea Congrats on finding one! I’m on the hunt too. Did this retailer have any size L still in stock?

I’m considering getting one of these in olive. I’m curious to see how they age. A quick glance didn’t seem to give any progression photos. What does it look like after two or three years of wear and say 15-20 washes? I’ve got a couple of vintage authentic military issue M65 jackets off ebay and really love how they have aged and would hope these age well.
Hey, it's been 4 years since you posted this. Did you buy one? How did it age?
Would love to see it.
