A storied classic of military tailoring, the M-65 Field Jacket remains one of the most revered outerwear designs of the twentieth century, equally admired for its functionality, structure, and effortless ruggedness. This particular example carries a unique mark of distinction with a scarlet numeral “1” emblazoned on the left upper sleeve, denoting the legendary First Infantry Division of the United States Army, also known as The Big Red One.
Crafted from a hard-wearing 50/50 cotton-nylon sateen, the jacket is designed to endure the elements with quiet confidence. Key features include a stand collar designed to conceal a housed hood, four large utilitarian front pockets, and a sturdy zip front with a press-stud storm flap, engineered for practicality in both field and urban settings.
The olive drab tone evokes the jacket’s martial heritage while offering timeless versatility. The addition of the divisional patch introduces a sense of living history, connecting this garment to one of the most storied combat units of the 20th century, a detail that elevates it beyond mere clothing into the realm of artefact.
Expect a gentle patina and signs of service, each a chapter in the narrative of a jacket built to last.

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.
