buzz rickson's | br11702 m-65 field jacket - olive drab
the m-65 combat jacket is of course one those garment designs that came out of the military which has gained design-classic status. used extensively in the vietnam campaign, the m-65 was standard gi issue. the roots of it's design can be traced to the m-41, which was the standard gi combat jacket of early wwii. evolving through the decades the m-65 was the end result of all that was learned through several major conflicts. during, and after, the vietnam war, the m-65 was not only the combat soldiers favourite, but it also penetrated civvy street culture after it was adopted by supporters of the anti-war movement. indeed, ironically, the m-65 became to represent that which opposed war more than it was a symbol of it; protestors would often adorn their m-65's in anti-war slogans and badges. even disaffected war veterans returning home would continue to wear their m-65's, grow their hair long, and wander the country in homeless defiance - this was perfectly depicted in the bestselling book and film 'first blood'. buzz rickson’s have re-created the famous m-65 in their perfect 100% authentic offering. from the military grade satin-backed cotton, to the custom-made authentic crown zips - this is the finest representation of this style ever produced outside of a government contract.
