I will have to do some research. Thanks RLTW

Excellent

It’s more uncommon than most.

Green Lantern is the rarest and can go as high as $100 by itself

Yeah, it was in such good condition. It sold pretty fast.

@@Ranger504th I'm happy for you. It was an excellent piece.

Indigo fades after washing and wear or if exposed to the sun. In some cases after years folded in storage, you can have noticeable fold marks. Under the right conditions stored correctly and they will look like the day they were made. Once they start to fade over time and wear, there is nothing you can do but most people love the natural fading.

@@Ranger504thI just got myself a vintage pair today and thankfully no crease marks from being stored & thank you for that info it means a lot :D

@@Ranger504th I forgot to ask ! So they don’t bleed until their first wash my guess ? I just don’t want to risk staining any seats for a occasion I have coming up soon 😅

@@SlasherGuyy1 I have never seen a pair of jeans do that.

@@Ranger504th ah okay ! i thought it was maybe similar to the indigo on selvedge were before first wash stains light colored / white clothes . & when you give it’s first wash it lets out some of the indigo from the jeans into the water. But from what you are telling me no worries on that with vintage pairs , correct ? :D

Thanks 😎

Thanks for the augmentation!

For this area, definitely!

Thanks, yeah it was a nice find.

Not to bad actually.

The M-65 hood in not detachable. There are plenty of hoods being sold on eBay for the M-51 jacket. Make sure that you pay attention to the size and whether it is a men’s or women’s. Most on eBay are dead stock items. The M-65 Liner won’t attach to the inside of the M-51 but I don’t see an issue of just wearing it as a second garment.

@@Ranger504th Thank you. Have a wonderful day.

Glad it was helpful!

Yea it’s probably my favorite 😍 🪖⚓️⚒️

Yeah it does!

@@Ranger504th I've got an Ike already and an original one piece WW2 11th Airborne patch on the way, I'll be sewing it straight on!

Thanks so much!!

Thanks ✌

No, there were many different manufacturers and if there were buttons from other uniforms in stock they would use them. In this case they probably pre ordered buttons from the button manufacturer and had them on hand and were producing the last of the OG107 type 3s until the cotton was used up then switched to the cotton poly types. There are many strange variations. You can find HBT from the Korean War era with the new then plastic buttons as apposed to the metal 13 star buttons.

That makes sense. I think the old style ones in the video look the best!

Thank you so much!

Totally agree! Love field jackets 🪖

I am sure that you’re probably fine, a lot of different manufacturers made these uniforms, especially during war time, and there are always slight variations. I have had examples of that exact same thing.

@@Ranger504thThank you very much. I truly appreciate the knowledge you shared.

@@Ranger504thHi again. Referring to the first HBT jacket you showed. Have you ever come across a similar HBT jacket with small front pocket? The details are as followed. It has the type 1’s silhouette, HBT fabric, 6 13-star button, the front pockets have the same shape and size as the type 1’s, and opened cuffs with no buttons. Was there a prototype before producing the P58 type 1? Or is the jacket I just described totally fake? Thank you very much.

Again, I think it is more than likely a slight variation made by a different manufacturer. Unless it looks completely deadstock then maybe it might be a reproduction.

The Air Force had jackets from that time frame that had different features than the typical Army or Marine Corps Field Jackets. I am not an expert with Air Force or Navy items but I will take a look at some of my books and see if I can find an answer for you. I have seen a number of Jackets that just had a tag description of OG-107 which is a color not a model but that was the only information given. Also the M-65 was first introduced in 1965 so your jacket has to be an earlier model.

@@Ranger504th Thank you so much for your response. I’d appreciate any information.

I’m not presently using Instagram because my account was deleted with no explanation over a year ago but I am on TikTok, here on TH-cam, and I sell on Depop, Etsy and Mercari. I am also part of a group on Discord that discusses vintage clothing.

In Jump Master School we had to call in Hook and Pile fastener.

I love upcycled military stuff.

The M-65 is fairly common. Typically one in good shape and in a good size should run you about $85. If it is named and has some decent patches it can be of more value. If it has significant history attached such as some type of artwork drawn on the back that pedigrees the piece to an event or to make it like a “tour jacket” or souvenir piece I could see it going for much higher. If it is just a typical blank and is priced at over $100 then the seller is probably inexperienced and doesn’t understand values or fair market value.

@@Ranger504th thank you.

First of all, the value of an M-65 jacket depends on age. jackets from the Vietnam period usually have white aluminum zippers, which were produced before 1972. this is 1 and 2 pattern of m65 jacket. it have only olive color. the most rare M-65 jacket is the first pattern jacket from 1966, which does not have shoulder straps. jackets with brass golden zippers are valued less. its all about contract jackets. commercial jackets are cheaper, except for some exceptions

Not at this time but I am presently shopping for a few pieces.

Thank you kindly

I have replied to your email.

I haven’t listed it yet but it will be available.

I sure did. I was an instructor at the East Range camp for 3 years 1992-95

Yea they are pretty collectible for sure.

Yes we do

I have this one listed for $75 shipped.

@@Ranger504thI’ve never seen an Old Ironside tabbed and Ranger tabbed at the same time. An armored division mixed with a Ranger is new to me. Like the shirt though. I’m ex Army Artillery

@@darrellwoodson7904 All Combat Arms MOSs are given slots to attend Ranger School. Ranger School is a leadership course primarily and most officers have a chance to attend if desired for career advancement. NCOs are given fewer opportunities to attend except of course in Infantry Units and Infantry adjacent type jobs like 18 Series, where everyone in leadership positions are encouraged to attend. So it’s rarer to see that configuration but not impossible.

Thanks!

I have plenty to choose from in my Etsy shop under the name TheLostPaniolo or see us on Depop

It's an M65
