Parachute-camo print lining
Sateen never lasted this long.
Goatskin gives the M-65 pattern abrasion and weather resistance the original textile never had.
The Workshop · Since 1975
An interpretation, not an imitation.
Cockpit doesn't pretend this is the issue jacket — it's the M-65 idea, rebuilt in leather with a camo lining that nods to WWII parachute silk.

U.S. Army Heritage · The Field Jacket
Three decades of service.
One upgrade the Army never made.
From the 1960s through the 1990s, the M-65 was the American field jacket — four bellows pockets, epaulets, a hood hidden in the collar, and a silhouette that outlived every conflict it served in. Cockpit USA rebuilds that idea in hand-cut goatskin: the pattern's utility with leather's abrasion and weather resistance, lined in the company's WWII parachute-camo print. An interpretation, openly — and a better-wearing one. Made in the USA.
The parachute-camo lining — Cockpit's signature print
The Material
The field jacket,
finally in leather.
The issue M-65 was cotton sateen — practical, replaceable, and disposable by design. Goatskin keeps the pattern's structure and utility while adding the abrasion resistance and weather resistance a field jacket always deserved.
Inside: Cockpit USA's WWII parachute-camo print lining, four interior pockets, and an adjustable waist drawstring.
Construction
Field utility, flight-jacket build.
Four bellows pockets
Oversized snap-down front pockets — the M-65's defining utility.
Hidden hood
A concealed sage-nylon hood inside the classic M-65 collar.
Bi-swing back
Full reach without the jacket riding up — a flight-jacket detail on a field pattern.
Military epaulets
Shoulder epaulets, as the issue jacket carried them.
Four interior pockets
Stowage inside, out of the weather.
Waist drawstring
Adjustable interior drawstring cinches the silhouette.
“The standard-issue US Army field jacket of the 1960s through the 1990s — in goatskin.”

An interpretation,
not an imitation.
Cockpit USA doesn't pass this off as the issue jacket. It's the M-65 idea — the pockets, the hood, the epaulets, the collar — rebuilt in hand-cut goatskin by a workshop that has made military patterns since 1975.
The parachute-camo lining is the wink: WWII silk, printed forward.
