Gentlemen,

Offered here is this M-65 Field Jacket in Golden Tiger Stripe made by Buzz Rickson.

Original, U. S. Army-issue M-65 Field Jackets were never made in Tiger-Stripe fabric, but due to the undisputed coolness and attractiveness of this camouflage pattern, especially the "golden" variants, Buzz Rickson offers such an M-65 Field Jacket for the first time, which has been designed as if it were a commercial model made to military specs. back in the 1960's. Every detail of this example matches the Buzz Rickson U. S. Army-issue copy they have made for years, except this commercial model is offered in one of the variants of Golden Tiger Stripe, has a commercial label, and the sizing is numerical instead of Large, Extra-Large, etc., though the fit is unchanged, as is the use of meticulous copy of a period-correct copy of the famous CROWN zipper.

Buzz Rickson’s M-65 Field Jacket in Golden Tiger Stripe offers all of the following original features and more:

• Vintage-Style commercial label in the lining

• Custom manufacturing of the correct, heavyweight cotton outer shell produced on vintage shuttle looms, in one of the coveted variants of ARVN Golden Tiger Stripe

• Custom manufacturing of the correct weight and weave all-cotton lining to precisely match 1965 U. S. military specs.

• Exact copy of the heavy-duty 1960's Crown zipper for the frontal closure, with cotton pull tab and the #5 size for the hood compartment, both of which have zip tape made of all-cotton HBT fabric, not incorrect poly-cotton

• All-cotton drawstring at waist in lining and on bottom hem of jacket to seal out wind

• Bi-swing double-pleated action back for greater range of motion without binding

• Snap-closure wind flap in front of zipper to seal out wind

• Adjustable Velcro closures on throat latch and gusted, two-position, extendable sleeve cuff

• Button-down shoulder epaulets as found on genuine M-65's

• Two pleated, generously expandable chest pockets with snap-down flaps

• Two large “grenade” pockets with snap-down flaps located on hip/thigh region
