US Style ACU M65 Field Jacket

ACU M65 Field Jacket

The M65 is the field jacket US forces adopted in 1965, and its cut and pocket layout are still copied because they work. Mil-Tec builds this US-style version in ACU digital camouflage, the gray, green and tan pixel pattern worn on the US Army's Army Combat Uniform. It is an outer layer for cold, wet or windy days, and it suits a range day, a hunting stand or a matching ACU kit.

Features

• ACU Digital Camouflage — The printed pixel pattern matches the look of US Army ACU uniforms and gear.
• Stowable Hood — A hood with an adjustable drawcord rolls away into the zippered stand collar when you don't need it.
• Stand-Up Collar — The tall collar closes around the neck to keep out wind and rain, with a hook-and-loop tab to hold it shut.
• Four Front Flap Pockets — Two chest pockets and two lower pockets have covering flaps so contents stay put and stay drier.
• Covered Front Closure — The front zipper sits behind a snap storm flap that blocks wind from getting through the zip.
• Hook-And-Loop Chest Panels — Velcro strips above each chest pocket take name tapes or service tapes in the usual US uniform positions.
• Shoulder Patch Panel — A hook-and-loop panel on the upper sleeve gives you a place to mount unit, flag or morale patches.
• Cotton, Polyester And Fleece — The jacket combines a cotton and polyester blend with fleece for added warmth.

Fabric And Construction

This is a commercial jacket made by Mil-Tec, not government-issue surplus, built to the classic M65 layout. The cotton and polyester blend handles regular outdoor wear, and the fleece adds insulation for cooler weather. The straight, hip-length M65 cut leaves room for a sweater or base layer underneath.
