      Everything about the jacket is great, however, due to there not being any tags or markings indicating the size of the garment, mine ended up being too small

      literally waterproof but small

      This thing shreds but do yourself the favor of buying a size up.

      i bought the small which is what i usually wear and this thing fits like a crop top. brits are built different.

      im going to order the medium now because i like the jacket so much. warm as h***, super comfortable and i showered with mine on to see if it was waterproof and it aint no lie.

      Cozy, stylish, sizes small.

      Love this piece of gear. I am usually Medium and sized up to Large. Fits great. Arms a little short but same with my British DPM field shirt. The liner does make it a bit hard to get on, but small price to pay :)

      Wear it all the time in Pacific Northwest. Get lots of compliments. Highly recommend. Plus AP deliver nice clean gear.

      Good all around smock

      Great quality but a little on the pricier side for what you get. Otherwise, shipping was timely, sizing was accurate, and I have no real complaints. Thank you AP

      It do be bussin'

      When I ordered a British PCS Lightweight Thermal Smock, I fully expected something stiff, damp, and emotionally repressed—like it had been designed by a committee of men who think smiling is a security risk. I don't blame them with there teeth! Shockingly, I was wrong. This thing is actually soft. And somehow it’s warm, too, despite being lightweight. Apparently centuries of losing wars and standing in cold rain finally taught them how insulation works. The build quality is legit. This jacket feels like it was made to endure endless gray skies, sideways rain, and the crushing weight of a fading empire. No flashy nonsense, no tacticool marketing garment it just works. Fit-wise in freedom units I’m 5'10", 160 lbs and ordered a medium. Mediums are usually a bit loose on me, but this one is tight in the shoulders. If you’re between sizes, size up unless you enjoy feeling like you’re wearing a tailored coat from a Victorian orphanage. Price is where this thing really humiliates modern outdoor or tactical brands. It’s absurdly reasonable for how good it is probably because the British don’t know how to market anything without apologizing first. Bottom line: this is a surprisingly excellent jacket. Warm, comfortable, well made, and cheap. I don’t respect British cuisine, spelling, or their insistence on driving on the wrong side of the road—but I’ll absolutely wear their military surplus. Buy it while you can.

      Excellent quality product

      Excellent quality product. No burns, holes, stains, or tears which is to be expected with surplus. I am 5’9 and 175 pounds, typically fit between a medium and a large . I ordered a size medium (medium regular sizes typically fit me best). However, the medium didn’t fit so I arranged with AP to exchange for a large. Process was super easy and the staff over at AP were very quick to respond to my emails. Great product and excellent service!

      Love the kangaroo pouch!

      This one fits almost tru me to size ordered XL but am on the taller/longer side so the wrist cuff area is a little short for me but overall perfect. The kangaroo pouch is clutch

      Good purchase.

      Fits well. Clean, no burns, rips and all zippers worked! Large was a little tight on me in the shoulders and arms. I’m 5’10” 185lb. Would have bought the XL if they were in stock but it’s such a good deal they had none.

      Comfortable and Great Quality

      I'm 6ft 195lbs. It is a nice slim fitting jacket. It covers very well if you have long arms and wide shoulders. I got a size Large.

      Large

      Little tight on the chest but otherwise a great fit

      Seems like a nice jacket, but the sizing is definitely off. Initially, I ordered an XL and the fit was perfect, except it was very long. I typically like my tops to fit slightly on the loose side, so I figured I could sacrifice some width for the correct length and ordered another in Large. The large fit me like it was a medium. Very tight in the chest and arms, I felt like I was going to rip right through it, although the length is much better. Not sure if either is even wearable for me. Also, the fleece on the inside makes it very difficult to wear over other clothing without it bunching up, even just a t-shirt.

      I should got the size bigger but love the company shipping could be faster

      10/10 overall quality, everything as descripted. Only reason not giving a 5/5 is the sleeves. I am 5’9 143# wet so the medium fits great, not too big in swimming in it but nowhere near tight to be uncomfortable either. My complaint on the sleeves is there’s a 4 finger gap from the end of the sleeve to my wrists—like when you put a coat on thats a size or two too small. Im not sure if i got a one off with short sleeves, or i have gorilla arms, but based on model photos you can tell its not suppose to be that way.

      Awesome Smock! I’ve worn it a few times since i bought it a few weeks ago and no complaints. Just make sure you het it a size up as it runs a bit tight especially for athletic builds

      Great product, fit is as advertised

      Keep in mind that the size is for a normally fit military Soldier, so if you are a little small or carrying a few extra stones in your pockets you may adjust accordingly.
      The smock is an anorak design, but the description is through enough so the buyer knows what they are purchasing.
      This smock is very warm for cool weather and due to it's design could be used as an under garment if it get cold with the capability to open the underarms and sides to quickly dump heat (i.e. hiking in snow).
      I have not tried it in the rain as it is currently hot in Missouri, but in the fall I will and will update the review after getting rained on in the woods.
      Overall GREAT product at a smashing price. I wish the pants where in size large to complete the set.

      Where's the difference between the Grade 2 British PCS Lightweight Thermal Smock and this one? thanks in advance.

      Americana Pipedream Apparel

      Hi Finn!

      Issued: These items are in issued/used condition but are fully functional. This grade of surplus item may also exhibit signs of use such as stampings, small stains or general dirtiness. Issued items will not have missing or broken buttons, zippers or be missing any functional components unless noted as such in the product description.

      Grade 2: These items are in issued/used condition but have defects that impede function. This may include missing buttons, broken zippers, holes and tears. They may also be missing components.This is the lowest grade of surplus item that we carry and they are not eligible for returns or exchanges due to condition.

      Curious About Sizing?

      Given the massive variety of clothing we carry, a standard sizing guide is incredibly helpful for customers seeking the best fit.

      Please understand that surplus varies widely in fit and cut and this sizing chart is general advice rather than tailor-level fitting.

      Nearly every military has different sizing charts and schemes, which is why we've taken the time to put together this brief tutorial.

       

      Jacket & Shirt Sizing

      In absence of an established military size chart, we measure each jacket or shirt from armpit to armpit to get a rough idea of how it fits. If a garment is between sizes, we mark it one size down. For example, if a shirt measures 19.75" from pit to pit, it is marked as a small rather than medium.

      To measure pit to pit, close up your shirt or jacket and measure from armpit to armpit. 

      This is our measurement guide that we use to measure garments without an existing military size chart:

      14"-15" PtP = XXS

      16-17" PtP = Extra Small

      18"-19" PtP = Small

      20-21" PtP = Medium

      22-23" PtP = Large

      24-25" PtP = Extra Large

      26-27" PtP = XXL

      28-29" PtP = 3XL

      Pant Sizing

      We typically convert pants to US waist and inseam sizes. If a pair of pants is between sizes, we mark it one size down. For example, if a pair of pants measures as a 33 waist, it is marked as a 32 waist.

      To take these measurements we lay a pair of pants flat on the ground. We then measure across the waist and double the measurement. For example, if a pair of pants measures 16" across the waist it will fit a US 32 waist.

      To determine inseam we measure from the crotch seam to the bottom of the cuff. For example, it a pair of pants measures 30" from the crotch seam to the bottom of the cuff we will list it as a 30 inseam or 30L.

      Surplus Condition Guide

      1. Unissued
      2. These items are brand new. They may sometimes exhibit signs of storage. They may be new in their original factory packaging, but most times will not be. 
      3. Issued; Good / Issued
      4. These items are in issued/used condition but are fully functional. This grade of surplus item may also exhibit signs of use such as stampings, small stains or general dirtiness.
      5. Issued items will not have missing or broken buttons, zippers or be missing any functional components unless noted as such in the product description. Any items you purchase that are marked as "Issued; Good" but exhibit these defects will be replaced free of charge by Americana Pipedream.
      6. Grade 2
      7. These items are in issued/used condition but have defects that impede function. This may include missing buttons, broken zippers, holes and tears. They may also be missing components.
      8. This is the lowest grade of surplus item that we carry and they are not eligible for returns or exchanges due to condition.
