First introduced in the 1960’s for US troops in the Viet Nam war, the M-65 has become one of the most iconic and recognisable pieces in military design. This version from Buzz Rickson’s boasts a back satin outer shell, which is water repellent and quick drying, and a full cotton lining. The boxy shape and pleated arm structure allows for superb freedom of movement, while durable vintage reproduction zippers serve the front opening, and concealed hood on the collar. Four pockets adorn the front, secured by military spec popper fastenings, for storage and functionality, while drawstrings have been added to the waist and hem, to allow the shape to be cinched in with ease. Other classic features include a velcro chin strap, extendable cuffs, and Urea buttons on the interior which allow for an optional liner to be fastened in.
