TAD M-65 Field Jacket Shell

First issued to service personnel in 1965, the M-65 was designed as a cold weather jacket to replace the previous revisions from 1943 and 1951. From its first deployments in Vietnam to modern frontiers, the M-65 withstood the test of time, becoming a cultural icon still in use half a century later.

The Triple Aught Design take on the durable and versatile shell jacket was an exercise in proportion and restraint. Featuring a modern but relaxed fit, bi-swing back, and articulated sleeves for freedom of movement, classic details such as a locking waist cinch, adjustable cuffs, stowable hood, and button-down collar help you adapt to your changing environment. 

• UNRESTRICTED MOVEMENT - Featuring a modern but relaxed fit, bi-swing back, and articulated sleeves for freedom of movement.
• ADJUSTABLE - Classic details such as a locking waist cinch, adjustable cuffs, stowable hood, and button-down collar help you adapt to your changing environment.
• MOISTURE MANAGEMENT - P200 Hybrid Aero is a modernized and lightweight waxed canvas exclusively from Halley Stevensons. Hybrid Aero is a combination of their driest wax and a soft/tumble finishing. A unique lightweight alternative to a traditional wax fabric.
• ACCESSIBLE STORAGE - Two covertly bellowed upper chest pockets and two front cargo pockets provide ample and accessible storage. Hidden snap closures keep your contents secure, and flaps tuck away for easy access.
• WEATHER PROTECTION - A hood provides protection from light moisture. When not in use, the hood stows away in the stand-up collar.
