ALLEN OVERALL CO., INC.

M65 Field Jacket

The collar has an aluminum zipper.
2nd model with epaulets

The silhouette remained largely unchanged until later years.
The final form,
Field Jacket

A rare Small-Short!!
This size is a good fit for the Japanese physique.
If you're looking to buy your first one,
I recommend this size.

The zipper is SCOVILL
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 truly exceptional and looks great.
It operates smoothly.

It shows signs of use,
There are no tears or damage, and the condition is good.
There is discoloration on the back.
I consider this level of flavor to be within an acceptable range for a vintage product.
The lining is also in good condition.

The pocket lining is made of the same material as the body,
The fabric colors are slightly different on the left and right sides,
I'm drawn to the subtle details that are characteristic of military wear.

It is popular,
The M-65, which is not getting much of a price rating.

If you find this size, you won't regret buying it.

I'd love to
