The field jacket has earned a reputation not only as one of the toughest military garments of the 20th century, but also one of its most enduring style icons. From WWII battlefronts and the dense jungles of Vietnam, to silver screen immortality on the backs of Pacino in Serpico and De Niro in Taxi Driver, it’s one of the few items of clothing a man can own that is resistant to trends. So we decided to make it resistant to pretty much everything else, too.
We’ve taken the original M65 field jacket’s functional design and rebuilt it using an advanced three-layer material originally designed for extreme-weather motorcycle gear. Not only does it provide the highest levels of protection against rain, wind and snow, but it’s also tough enough to withstand a high-velocity encounter with the tarmac. The jacket is built with 8 pockets fitted with hidden zips, a heavy-duty two-way metal front zipper, and an adjustable fleece-lined collar and cuffs.
