  • Description

    Originally issued by the US Military in 1965, the M-65 was the standard issued field jacket during the Vietnam War. This piece gained cultural significance as returning GIs wore this jacket to antiwar rallies, becoming a symbol of the counterculture of the 60's and 70's, and further immortalized on the big screen by Robert Deniro in Taxi Driver and Al Pacino in Serpico. The M-65 field jacket is, arguably, the most recognizable piece of militaria to come out of the 20th century. 

    Buzz Rickson's faithfully replicates all the major details of the M-65, and gets obsessive with the minutiae, furnishing their jacket with historically accurate zipper pulls and military contract labels. This jacket features four front pockets, a circular collar with zipper concealed, velcro-adjustable cuffs, and cinches at the hem and waist. Cut from a water resistant satin backed cotton, in that timeless olive drab color, theres a reason that the M-65 stays in style year after year.
