Talkin’ ‘Bout the Revolution:
The M-65

Our M-65 field jacket has lived many lives: from its introduction to U.S. military ground soldiers in 1965 to becoming a symbol of protest against the Vietnam War, and from Hollywood films to youth cultures around the world.


In 1965, Alpha Industries introduced the M-65 as the final revision of the field jacket. The cotton fabric of earlier versions was replaced with a newly developed nylon/cotton sateen fabric, which was virtually indestructible and extremely wind-resistant. Thanks to its incredible durability, tested by U.S. ground forces, the M-65 has never needed an update, cementing its status as a true classic in both style and quality.

As part of its design, the collar was reimagined to incorporate a hidden hood, Velcro closures were added, and the cuffs featured a hidden triangular attachment intended for securing gloves to protect against radioactive fallout on a nuclear battlefield.
