Is this a genuine MIL-SPEC BDU coat?

Propper builds it to the four-pocket BDU pattern with ripstop, felled seams and reinforced elbows. It is the military-style cut, not a fashion copy.

How does it fit compared with a regular jacket?

It runs true to size but with a roomy, boxy BDU cut meant for layering. Slimmer shoppers often size down.

No. It is an unlined shell, so it works as a light layer. Add a fleece or base layer for cold weather.

The 60% cotton content can shrink slightly in hot water. Wash cold and line dry to keep the fit.

No. It closes with a covered button front, and the cuffs adjust with buttons.

No. The ripstop is not treated for rain and dries slowly because of the cotton.
