Rothco M-65 Field Jacket - Coyote Brown

M-65 Field Jacket

The M-65 is the field coat the U.S. military wore for decades, and Rothco builds this one to the original government pattern in a coyote brown finish. The poly/cotton twill shell shrugs off wind and light rain, while the button-in quilted liner lets you run it warm in cold weather or strip it out when the temperature climbs. It suits anyone who wants a proven three-season jacket for the range, the woods, or everyday wear.

Features

• Water-Repellent Twill Shell — The poly/cotton twill outer sheds wind and light rain, so a passing shower does not soak through.
• Button-In Quilted Liner — A removable insulated liner snaps inside for cold weather and buttons out when you want the shell alone.
• Concealed Hood — A drawstring hood rolls away into the collar and pulls out when the weather turns.
• Four Cargo Pockets — Two flap pockets at the chest and two at the waist, each closed with a snap button to keep gear secure.
• Storm-Flap Brass Zipper — A heavy brass front zipper sits behind a snap-button storm flap that blocks drafts and rain at the seam.
• Button Shoulder Epaulettes — Strap tabs on each shoulder hold slings, straps, or rank insignia in place.
• Hook-And-Loop Cuffs — Velcro wrist tabs cinch the sleeves down tight and seal them over gloves.
• Adjustable Drawstrings — Pull cords at the waist and hem let you draw the jacket in to hold heat and block wind.
• Bi-Swing Back — Pleated panels across the shoulders give your arms room to reach and swing without the jacket binding.
• Mil-Spec Pattern — Built to the military's own published specification rather than a loose copy of it.

Build And Fit

The shell is a poly/cotton twill, a tight cotton and polyester weave that holds its shape and resists tearing. Inside, interior hook tabs and pockets give you extra places to stash small gear, and the quilted liner buttons in and out in minutes. The coyote brown color is a flat, neutral tan that pairs easily with surplus and outdoor kit. Rothco makes this jacket, so expect consistent current-production quality rather than the variable condition of used surplus.
