HISTORY
The M65 jacket was first produced in 1965 for the US Military and used by troops using the Vietnam War to protect them from the sub-freezing extreme weather conditions. They are incredibly insulating, with a hard wearing design that is made from a tough water resistant cotton nylon mix. Jackets fasten with a heavy duty zip and popper snaps to the front, and come with a concealable hood in the collar. Zips vary between brass and plastic depending on production date.
