Genuine US Military issue
Dated 1967 - A second pattern jacket with a chrome zip, bellow cuffs and epaulettes.
Includes an original wartime 1970-dated quilted liner
An excellent, originally patched jacket displaying a full set of rare Vietnamese-made patches, including a 2nd Field Force Vietnam (FFV) SSI on the left shoulder, US Army branch and name tapes, and hand-stitched Spec 5 rank insignia.
The combination of the patches and the significant pinching of the fabric underneath guarantees that this jacket is originally patched.
The ultimate field jacket. The M65 was first introduced in 1965 and continued to serve in the US Military until the late 2010s. It features a zip & snap front closure, four large pockets, adjustable cuffs and waist, an internal hood, and buttons to fit a removable liner. Made with a 50/50 nylon/cotton blend wind-resistant sateen shell. Fully lined with a 100% cotton wind-resistant ripstop poplin fabric.
Excellent condition with light signs of real wear and a great fade pattern - All zips, buttons, fittings and fixtures are present. The contract label is present and legible. There is some sporadic discolouration as seen around raised points as seen. Staining on the back as seen.
