M-65 Jacket Field Jacket Olive Green Pure Cotton Sateen US Military Issue Field Jacket Workwear

M-65 is short for M-1965 Field Jacket, first issued by the U.S. Army in 1965. It was an improvement upon the M-51, designed to adapt to the climate of the time, offering enhanced breathability, wind resistance, waterproofing, and warmth. The color was typically Olive Green. This jacket was later worn by many protagonists in films, notably by Robert De Niro in "Taxi Driver," solidifying the M-65 as a groundbreaking and significant piece. RED TORNADO, after multiple adjustments, aims to faithfully reproduce the original M65 version. It features two立体 (3D) chest pockets and two flap pockets with snap closures. Drawstrings at the waist and hem allow for adjustable fit, while the adjustable cuffs with unique buttons are designed for secure wear with gloves. A hidden hood is integrated into the collar. The fabric is a custom-thickened pure cotton sateen, woven using the original reverse-weave method, with a weight increased to 320 grams. This high-density pure cotton offers superior comfort and durability compared to the original's 50/50 nylon-cotton blend. To honor the classic, it's worth noting that RED TORNADO uses discontinued vintage looms for fabric production and old-fashioned sewing machines for assembly. While this process is slower, our team prioritizes maximum authenticity. The color and material of the buttons and zippers match the original version. Early M65 jackets featured aluminum zippers, which were replaced with brass zippers in 1971. Following the original specifications, our team uses zippers from the vintage brand Moire, with hand-crafted alloy zipper pulls and electroplated aluminum-colored brass teeth, ensuring a truly retro appearance. This M65 is not just a classic retro reproduction; it's an essential piece that showcases personal style with its abundant details and boundless sentiment. We hope you'll love it.
