Rothco M-65 Field Jacket - Coyote Brown

The Classic M-65 Pattern

Rothco's M-65 Field Jacket follows the layout of the US military field coat that carries the same name: a hip-length shell with four big pockets, a high collar and a front you can seal up against wind. This version comes in coyote brown, a muted tan-brown that works in the field and pairs easily with everyday clothes. It suits anyone who wants a hard-wearing outer layer for cool weather, work outdoors or daily wear.

Features

• Cotton/Polyester Blend — The shell mixes cotton for comfort with polyester for strength and shape retention.
• Four Flap Pockets — Two chest pockets and two lower hip pockets sit under covering flaps that help keep contents in and rain out.
• Brass Front Zipper — A heavy brass zipper runs the full length of the front for a secure main closure.
• Snap Storm Flap — A fabric flap closes over the zipper with snaps, blocking wind that would otherwise push through the teeth.
• Zippered Stand-Up Collar — The tall collar turns up to shield the neck and carries its own zipper at the top.
• Adjustable Waist Drawcord — An internal drawstring at the waist lets you cinch the jacket in to trap warmth or loosen it for movement.
• Hook-and-Loop Cuff Tabs — Tabs at each cuff fasten with hook-and-loop, the same grip-strip closure as Velcro, so you can tighten the sleeves around gloves or wrists.
• Shoulder Epaulets — Buttoned straps on each shoulder add the traditional military look and hold a strap or rolled cap in place.
• Interior Liner Buttons — Buttons inside the front edges accept a quilted button-in liner for extra insulation in colder weather.

Build and Fit

The jacket is cut with room through the body so it layers over a shirt or sweater, and it falls to the upper hip with a drawcord at the hem. On its own it works as a windbreaking shell for mild days. Button in a quilted liner and it becomes a jacket for colder months, which is how the M-65 pattern has always been worn.
