An iconic piece of American military clothing, this authentic 1970 U.S. Army M-65 Field Jacket is an original Vietnam War-era military garment, featuring the classic olive drab colorway and a beautifully aged military patina.
Originally introduced in 1965 as the successor to the M-51, the M-65 became one of the most recognizable field jackets issued to American troops during the Vietnam War. Designed for durability, protection, and versatility, it features a cotton-nylon sateen shell, concealed front zipper with snap-button storm flap, four large cargo pockets, adjustable waist drawcord, and a stand-up collar with a concealed hood.
This example dates to 1970, as indicated by its original military contract label (DSA-100-70-C-0617). Its faded olive green fabric, original metal zipper, and naturally worn appearance reflect decades of history. Scattered paint marks, subtle discoloration, and authentic signs of wear give the jacket a distinctive character that is increasingly sought after in vintage military clothing.
A timeless piece of American military heritage, appreciated by collectors of Vietnam War militaria, vintage U.S. Army clothing, and classic military-inspired outerwear.
