90's M65 Field Jacket L Military US Army Made in USA Discontinued

This is an Alpha Industries M65 jacket, likely from the 1990s.

Size: L-LL

The M-65 field coat, used extensively by the U.S. military and many other countries worldwide, is the subject of this description. As its model designation indicates, it was officially adopted by the U.S. military in 1965. Similar to the CWU-45/P flight jacket, it is now used by the military forces of former Western bloc countries, Latin America, and various Asian countries. During the Vietnam War, the M-65 protected American soldiers from the cold in the highlands and the surprisingly chilly nights.

The M-65 also protected soldiers from the desert cold during the Gulf War. In the U.S. military, the M-65 was favored not only by the Army but also by Air Force ground crews and Marine Corps soldiers. Alpha Industries has been producing this M-65 for many years, manufacturing a phenomenal quantity and continuing to supply it to various countries. Alpha Industries held the largest market share for supplies to countries outside of the United States.

The M-65 field jacket's high degree of completion, including its design and functionality, has greatly influenced the development of field jackets in other countries. Its influence has also extended to the fashion industry, with many apparel brands releasing M-65 jackets every year, customizing them for town use.

This is a civilian model made by Alpha Industries, a major supplier of U.S. military clothing.
