8:44 interesting word choice

Thanks for the tour. I just got one of these and I hope to get it cleaned up and workign right soon!

Love this song so complicated tho I'm self taught of about 2 years and have been trying to learn someone give me some help I need some tip

Hay, A.B., thanks for the extreme weather M65 field jacket hood demonstration. I actually had a lot of questions about that hood after I found out that there was a warm hood that could be attached. I have the jacket, now Ill be searching for the hood. But, yeah, thanks, bro. You did a good job. The next step is up to me. I live where there is extreme winter weather at times so I’ll be looking for that hood. Om!

The "big red one" patch is very nice! That's a keeper for sure!

I wish the fur on the collar was not white but camo colors

Back in the day these were used with M 65 pants. The long John bottoms had loops as well. You'd hook through the loops on pants AND underwear to keep everything up. Used with rain pants as well. The best part is dropping trou with ALICE gear on. Just unhook and do your biz. With all the female military nowadays, why are these not a thing? The modern types seem too heavy and bulky compared to these.

Just bought a desert golden mfg for 65 euros!NEW!

I had a army navy store in my town but sadly it closed down I have a video on it when it was still up and running as well

I have a Alpha Industries M65 jacket, which is made in the USA.

I have one of these my son gave me and it’s a complete kit with all the contents.

You got the rothco hood wrong :) You have to turn the rear flap and button in from the outside, by that keeping water and snow out of the collar opening

My jacket is made by❤ Proper and it looks like it's exactly like the original issue one that you're showing

Great review. For anybody who wants that leather to last much, much longer treat it with Sno-seal wax. Rub it it, heat it with a hair dryer/heat gun, repeat every year or 2. It soaks in, will darken the leather, and will add water resistance.

The military-issue M65s outer shell was made of "Nyco", 50% nylon and %50 cotton. It s not waterproof, but is somewhat water repellant. Most reproduction M65s are made of %50 cotton and %50 polyester.

Thank you😺

We called it a "dummy cord". Before the cord was included, we used to pull the elastic cord out of our field jackets, tie one end to a mitten, run it into the sleeve, through the jacket, then out of the other sleeve to be tied to the second mitten. I like the included harness idea they've come up with. One last thing, the mittens have another tab that the cord can be tied to instead. This allows the mittens to hang horizontally when you're not wearing them, which keeps precipitation from falling into them. Great review video!

Rothco's are made to military specifications because they are not made in the US anymore, because the military doesn't issue them any longer. New Rothco jackets come with a liner, Most used ones don't have the liner. The M-65 I was issued had the same heavy duty brass zipper.

MFG abbreviation for Manufacturing

the bottom of the m65 being not attached was to insert extra insulation even papers etc

One caution about those elastic cords: If they slip back into the channels, you are going to have one tough time fishing them back out. BE SURE to tie a large knot in the ends!

Good overview! As long as one does not expect a Rothco copy to be as good as a USGI item, there's not really a problem. I have one of each, and my olive drab Rothco is one of my go-to work coats, and it does its job well. Also, being much cheaper, wear and damage is not an issue.

When will be the next one ?

What´s the best way to correctly size these puppies?

I had the rotcho OD for years but just ordered the golden mfg cheers buddy

You made me laugh with your rant about Rothco's laces.

Where can I get a military one?

How are the trousers sized? I wear a L short in bdu.

You need to have black or navy color version. If you have, you can complete your collection

"If you haven't heard it..." <crickets> LOL! Like, what does one say after postulating the impossible? 😂😂 Decent video! I really liked how you dealt with those first chords.

Brilliant, thanks. Only got my keyboard 2 days ago and can get this.

My service was 76-99, so I got to use the old M43 and the all metal version. I vastly preferred using the M43.

My m43 is a little different does not say Japan as America wouldn't use a shovel made by the people there at war with maybe he switched with a dead jap

Cool vid very informative and thanks for sharing!

How tall are you?

"I remember when rock was young and all that stuff " LoL

if you guys like his tutorials you should look up Amosdoll Music

great job you got it sounds good,,,,, never listen to a guitar player that thinks he knows it

Make a video of how to stretch hood wire please

Everyone gets it wrong about the collar strap.. it's not to keep u warmer, it was designed to snug it up so u don't get hot brass down ur shirt. Just saying

I need help with the sizing of this jacket as I’d love to get one. I’m 5 foot 5 inches and 145 pounds,what’s the best size for me to get in a genuine issue jacket

Is part three in the making? 👀

Does your POV car have a siren??

From my research the M65 liner was officially part of the ECWCS gen1, and that soldiers would wear in underneath the cold weather parks exactly as you have done. It is strange then why they did not include the buttons required to fix the liner to the parka.

👍

As an infanteer and a medic, I knew you had never served a day in uniform the moment you said the "waterproof" compartments wont leak...... lol

The newer plastic canteens are BPA free, but you still can't cook or boil water in them. Since I do have the newer version of canteen holder with a canteen cup and stove in it though, that's not an issue for me.

The price of these are RETARDED right now. I used to be able to go to a thrift store or an army surplus shop and get one for $5 to $10 now just for the outer shell (no liner) places want $100.. for a used one in “ok” condition.
