M65 Field Jackets

M65 jackets, which we offer at MILITARY.EU, are a timeless style of outerwear, combining comfort and high functionality. They will perform perfectly in the field and in urban environments. Such a jacket will keep you warm throughout the winter but can also be used in slightly warmer periods. For this purpose, it features a liner that can be detached when you get too warm. In turn, the large number of practically arranged pockets makes this garment very spacious.

The M65 uniform system served American soldiers during the winter seasons, from the 1960s until 2009. A huge advantage of the M65 system field jackets over its predecessor, the M51, was that they had a windproof collar, which proved very useful during the Vietnam War in the cold monsoon seasons. It was the men's M65 jackets that achieved almost cult status. They gained wider fame and became embedded in mass culture after the screenings of such legendary films as Rambo: First Blood with Sylvester Stallone and Taxi Driver with Robert De Niro. The jacket was also present in Polish films and TV series, to mention the character of Lieutenant Borewicz played by Bronisław Cieślak in the series 07 Zgłoś Się (07 Come In).

Historically, the jacket was made from NYCO fabric, a blend of 50% cotton and 50% nylon. Today's manufacturers remain faithful to this composition. The jacket was also waterproofed with Quarpel, effectively protecting against water. Four colour variants of M65 jackets were introduced for the US military: olive green (OG-107), woodland camouflage, desert camouflage (3-Color Desert Pattern) and UCP (Universal Camouflage Pattern).

For customers looking for men's M65 jackets, our site offers models from various manufacturers in several colour options.

At MILITARY.EU, you will find M65 jackets from the legendary American company Alpha Industries. This is the company that was the first to introduce this type of jacket to the civilian market, previously equipping American soldiers with them. The model we offer comes in olive green.

For fans of Polish-made products, we recommend M65 jackets from Helikon-Tex clothing manufacturer. They come in black, olive green and woodland camouflage.
