Product Description
60's US ARMY M-65 2nd Aluminum Zipper... MS
M65 Field Jacket
The collar has an aluminum zipper.
2nd model with epaulets
The silhouette remained largely unchanged until later years.
Final form
This is a field jacket.
The size is
MEDIUM-SHORT
It may seem unbalanced at first glance.
In reality, it's a size suitable for fashion wear.
This is quite hard to find.
Even if you usually choose size S, and you wear a thick knit or reverse weave underneath...
It's a size that won't make you look bulky.
It's easy to throw on over your clothes, making it perfect for everyday use.
The zipper is CONMER
Later, aluminum zippers were found to be prone to malfunction due to deterioration from oxidation and lack of durability.
The brass zippers will be replaced with plastic zippers.
Brass inevitably looks heavy because it's the same color,
Plastic gives a somewhat cheap impression.
Aluminum is in a class of its own and looks great.
It operates smoothly.
Overall, there are signs of use.
I think it's still in pretty good condition.
The lining is undamaged and in very good condition.
The M-65 has always been popular,
The price doesn't really reflect the customer's evaluation.
There are probably a lot of them, but it's hard to find one that's a good size.
Even if you already own one, buying another one wouldn't be a bad idea.
I'd love to
