The M-65 field jacket is considered the height of US field
jacket design.
This is the final evolution that started with the M1943, an innovative combat uniform in its own right, and continued with the M-51.
The M-65 keeps the roomy 4-pocket layout, metal zipper closure, and liner attachments of its predecessors and adds a tuck-away hood, hidden in the zipper compartment of the collar.
This jacket became a favorite of US soldiers in Vietnam due to its comfortable cut and practical features, perfect for keeping cool at night or in the wet season monsoons.
Outside of Vietnam the M-1965 also became a fashion icon, endlessly copied through the ages by many civilian clothing designers.
This iconic jacket featured in films like Taxi Driver and (copies) can still be seen worn out on the street.
The jacket in this listing was made during the Vietnam War as shown by the 1969 contract date and silver colored aluminum zipper, making this a very rare jacket to find nowadays. It is in the small regular size and appears to be entirely unused. There is even a cutter's tag inside the hood compartment! Unfortunately, there is some storage wear on the outside, particularly small brown stains, that was probably acquired in-period which may wash out.
Authentic Vietnam era items like this are not going to get any more common with the Vietnam War more than 50 years behind us. Buy now to own a real piece of history! Measurements: Shoulder:
19 inches Chest:
22 inches flat (44 inches circumference; keep in mind this was designed to be worn with a padded button-in liner on top of a sewn-in lining) Sleeve (Armpit - Wrist):
