The M65 Jacket was first introduced in Nineteen Sixty Five to replace the M51 Jacket that had been used during the Korean Conflict. Incidentally, the M51 Jacket was made to replace the M43 Jacket used in WWII. The M65 Jacket was used by US Armed Forces during the Vietnam War. The jacket was very useful in keeping the soldiers warm from the cool temperatures that came with the monsoon rains. The M65 Jacket had a hood that could be rolled up and stored. It also used Velcro-fasteners to secure the cuffs.

.With only a few modifications from its original design, the M65 Jacket is still being worn by our troops in the field today. Although the original drab olive green color has been replaced with today's camouflage, the Universal Camo Pattern or 'UCP', the M65 Jacket is virtually the same as the original except for the removal of the epaulets and the addition of Velcro on the sleeves to allow for rank patches. The M65 Jacket is easily combined with an insulated lining to allow for use in the cold weather.
