The M-1965 Field Jacket, also known as
The jackets are the M65, is a popular field jacket designed for the US military back in 1930's.
It was introduced into US military service in 1965 to replace the M-1951
field jacket, an evolution of a Second World War design, the M-1943 field
jacket.
The M-65 field jacket was widely used by
United States troops during the Vietnam War in which the jacket became useful
for troops serving in the Central Highlands of South Vietnam, as well as keeping
a soldier warm from the cool weather conditions that came after monsoonal rains.
Originally introduced in olive drab, it is now produced in a variety of patterns
including Woodland camouflage, "chocolate-chip" desert camouflage, Tigerstripe,
black, navy blue, Universal Camouflage Pattern, Disruptive Pattern Camouflage.
The frontmost portion of the jacket has two
large hip pockets and two medium-sized breast pockets. The rearmost neck portion
and collar of the jacket features a zipper which houses a protective hood.
The jacket can be combined with a button-in insulated lining for cold weather
wear.
