Vintage 1970's Excelled U.S. Army Leather Field Jacket 72-1420 Sz LT Vietnam Era

Authentic U.S. Army–issue leather field jacket manufactured under MIL-SPEC 72-1420 by Excelled, a known U.S. military contractor. This jacket dates to the early–mid 1970s and represents a leather version of the classic Army field jacket silhouette used during the post-Vietnam / Cold War era.

Constructed from sheepskin leather, the jacket offers durability with a lighter, more flexible feel than cowhide. The design mirrors the M-65 field jacket layout, featuring four front pockets with snap closures, epaulettes, a zip front with snap storm flap, and a stand collar. Built to military specifications, this is a functional combat utility jacket rather than a fashion reproduction.

The Large Tall size is especially desirable, offering longer sleeve and body length suitable for taller wearers.
