商品説明※アメリカの現地出品者により作成されたため、英語のまま掲載いたしております。The M-65 field jacket is considered the height of US field jacket design. This is the final evolution that started with the M1943, an innovative combat uniform in its own right, and continued with the M-51. The M-65 keeps the roomy 4-pocket layout, metal zipper closure, and liner attachments of its predecessors and adds a tuck-away hood, hidden in the zipper compartment of the collar. This jacket became a favorite of US soldiers in Vietnam due to its comfortable cut and practical features, perfect for keeping cool at night or in the wet season monsoons. Outside of Vietnam the M-1965 also became a fashion icon, endlessly copied through the ages by many civilian clothing designers. This iconic jacket featured in films like Taxi Driver and (copies) can still be seen worn out on the street. The jacket in this listing was made during the Vietnam War by Alpha Industries in 1967 as an in-period private purchase item. Alpha Industries is considered one of the most desirable manufacturers of military field and flight jackets, which they continue to produce today, mainly as fashion. Although made for the commercial market, the M-65 in this listing is made to the same high USGI specs for material and workmanship (back in the days when "GI spec" was something gear makers wanted to emulate). It uses exactly the same hard-wearing NYCO sateen shell, velcro, and even the same silver (aluminum) zipper used on most M1965's throughout the Vietnam War.This jacket has obviously been used and shows even light wear throughout. There are a few small stains at the bottom hem. The patches are for the US Army Combat Development Command (1954 - 1971), responsible for research, testing, and development of new procedures and technology the Army could use to get an edge in combat. They were responsible for everything from researching food distribution methods (field kitchens) to developing the Air Assault concept used throughout the Vietnam War and into the present. Unfortunately, the USACDC was disbanded in 1971, likely due to post-Vietnam budget cuts hitting the military, combined with stagflation of the immediate post-war era. All patches have been sewn onto the jacket for a significant length of time as seen by the reverse. Authentic Vietnam era items like this are not going to get any more common with the Vietnam War more than 50 years behind us.
