The original field jackets — albeit more rudimentary by design than the field jackets worn by U.S. troops in the field today — became standard issue to American troops in 1965 during the Vietnam Conflict to provide better protection against cold weather and rain in combat. It’s from these originals that many jackets today draw their inspiration, including this M65 Field Jacket by Coldsmoke Co.
The Anchorage M65 Waterproof Field Jacket features the same traditional functionality found in the the original military versions, along with the amenities of modern day technology such as the breathable yet waterproof eVent material, sealed seams throughout, YKK zippers, and an adjustable hidden hood and stand-up collar to protect against the wind and rain. – $210
