An iconic piece of American military history, this vintage 1960s–1970s U.S. Army M-65 Field Jacket is a classic example of Vietnam War-era military outerwear, featuring the distinctive olive drab green colorway and original U.S. Army name tape.
Introduced in 1965 as the successor to the M-51, the M-65 became one of the most recognizable field jackets issued to American soldiers 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 displays a beautifully faded olive green finish, original military specification label, and an U.S. Army chest tape. Its naturally aged fabric, scattered marks, and subtle discoloration give the jacket a distinctive patina, reflecting decades of age and wear while preserving the timeless silhouette of American military outerwear.
An essential piece for collectors of Vietnam War militaria, vintage U.S. Army clothing, and classic American field jackets.
