US Military Issue GI M-65 Field Jacket, Golden Mfg, 3 Color Desert Cmao, BDU
In the late 1960s, the army introduced a new field jacket, the M65. This jacket was to replace the existing M-51 and M43 field jackets, from the Korean War era, and World War II, respectively. The M65 field jacket was used throughout the Vietnam War, and much after.
The M-65 had a number of improvements over the existing field jackets. Among these improvements were the built-n stowa-away hood which zips into the collar, extra pockets, shoulder epaulets. The closure buttons were also replaced with a brass zipper, to allow soldiers to open and close their jackets more quickly and easily. The detachable liner was included to allow dealing with fluctuating temperatures easily.
