The M-65 Field Jacket : JOHNSON Edition
An extraordinary embodiment of military heritage, the M-65 Field Jacket remains an enduring symbol of rugged utility and steadfast craftsmanship. This particular version is rich in unique details, each patch telling a story of service, distinction, and legacy.
Prominently displayed on the right breast pocket is a grey “JOHNSON” label, neatly set on a white rectangular patch, suggesting the personal mark of an individual soldier. Above the left breast pocket, a striking black rectangular patch proudly displays “U.S. ARMY” in bold yellow lettering, while just above that, a distinctive logo patch further emphasises the jacket's military roots.
Adding a layer of history and valor, both sleeves feature notable patches. On the right arm, a “Ranger” patch is complemented by a red and yellow sword insignia, symbols of the elite U.S. Army Rangers. The left arm proudly displays a yellow and black patch depicting a horse, likely denoting cavalry or reconnaissance service, reinforcing the jacket’s martial significance.
Each of these unique patches, together with the subtle signs of wear, tell a compelling story of service, honour, and resilience. A true collector’s piece and a distinguished addition to any wardrobe.
Crafted from a durable 50/50 cotton-nylon sateen blend, the jacket is designed to withstand the harshest of conditions. As with all M-65 jackets, it features a collar designed to conceal a hood, shoulder epaulettes, and four spacious front pockets for ample storage. A robust zip front with a press-stud storm flap ensures reliable protection in all weathers.
The olive drab hue maintains the jacket’s military pedigree while offering versatility for modern wear.

DISCLAIMER [ M65 CORNER ]
The M65 Corner presents a selection of vintage garments, chosen for their rarity, authenticity, and distinctive character.
As with all vintage pieces, signs of age such as light fading, surface wear, or subtle irregularities, are to be expected and embraced as part of the garment’s story. Wherever possible, details of origin and condition are noted within the product description.
Due to the varied provenance of each piece, made in different eras by different makers, sizing may differ from modern standards. For this reason, individual measurements are taken in-house and listed with each garment to provide the most accurate guide.
Should you have any further questions regarding fit or details, we warmly invite you to contact us by email, and we will gladly assist.
These one-of-a-kind garments are offered not only to be worn, but to be appreciated, collected, cared for, and carried forward.
