U.S. Army Heritage · The Field Jacket
Three decades of service.
Built to the original spec.
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 reproduces it to spec in a water-repellent nylon/cotton sateen shell, sewn in the USA.

The Material

Inside: a smooth military-style lining, two interior pockets, and drawcords at the waist and hem.
