Hello everyone I recently purchased an M65 jacket from Alpha Industries, vintage '86. There is a DLA number and a RN 35569 number on the label. What does this number mean? Many greetings from Germany

Beautiful

Very nicely explained good video don't see these so often

I like video

Awesome collection 👌

where i can buy that stuff?

I have an Alpha from 1987 and a Sew-Sew Styles in OG-107 from 88. Great jackets for windy conditions.

Tengo varias d varios patrones USALAS CON RESPETO🇺🇾☠️

They all look the same. Some narrative would have been nice.

I love the M65 videos you make. Why did they discontinue the ripstop lining? After 1987 or some time in the late 80s the ripstop lining ended. Even when they did the ripstop lining not all jackets had it.

👍👏🫡

Keep up the great work. Recently I made a video about my 6 first pattern m65’s. I’m curious, do you collect the m65 parkas as well? Always enjoying your uploads. That’s for all your efforts.

I always wondered when these changes came in. Buddy of mine was in the army reserve in 83 and had been issued both an o.d. and woodland 65s. I went in in 84 and got the same issue, My first 65 was actually given to me in delayed entry. O.d. with brass zippers. I always wondered when the camo came in. We could wear the o.d. jacket up til 85 or 86? Can't remember, but I went through couple woodland 65s while in. Plus that was what everyone wanted when you came home, I made a lot of stops at the pawn shops off post in hop town to pick up friends requests. Boy there were some great finds in those places back then. Thanks again for sharing, great information. Cheers

Do you know how to make the hood laydown nicely in the back so it doesn't feel that it's pressing on your back?

Do you know why some had the ripstop lining? I have one from 1987 with the ripstop lining and one without. If I buy a 1967 M-65 with a broken zipper which replacement zipper should I get? A serval normal M-65 zipper, an ideal replacement zipper, or a modern YKK zipper? I'm only asking for your opinion because you know the most.

I have a 1982 field jacket. Recently I bought it for 53$ and honestly it’s one of the best purchases I’ve ever made. It’s comfy it keeps you warm indefinitely. And it’s a good addition to any vintage collection. Although I would like to know more about the 0575-OG107. As mine doesn’t have the original U.S army insignia but in ink print.

👍👏🫡

Very nice jackets. I like them. I also have some, 9 og...3 Woodland...one Dessert one sand. Where could you get them received well-preserved ones?

You should put together a video of fan favorite M65s, maybe have us send you are faves that we personally own and put it together. ? Just an idea

Love my OD green field jacket, best article of military clothing ever made to date. I would love to get a hold of another 80’ s field jacket, can’t have to many!

Always the most in depth videos. Your channel inspired me to collect specifically m65 jackets. I posted a video of my 6 first pattern jackets I have found here in Mexico. My full total as of today’s arrival will be 33 m65 og107s, many before 1972. Thank you for being an inspiration. For me, I can’t say thanks enough. Keep up the great work.

Love thos patches

😊 still my favorite jacket hands down! Interesting how the shade of o.d. green is different. I remember the ripstop interiors on the o.d. and woodland. The last of the woodland 65s. There were slight changes I've noticed to the cuff's. Love your channel. Cheers

Thanks you very much !

Доброе утро вьетнам.

You are right One can never have too many leather Jackets.

the medical officer coat is the so awesome!

It seems like many of the modifications that the Delta operators made to these American jackets were in line with what some of the European armies have been using since WWII - the combat smock. Unfortunately the US no longer issues the M-65 to its soldiers, having supplanted it largely with ECWCS-type parkas. However, had the Quartermaster seen some of these jackets from "Eagle Claw", then maybe an overdue re-design might have been in order to modernize these otherwise excellent garments for more utilitarian purposes in combat, instead of spending a ton of money on the aforementioned parkas which seem to be made of materials that are not as durable as the "Ny-Co" blend of the title outerwear.

The last Defense Personnel Support Center jacket against 6174, With green label I saw on forums he says it’s civil? Is that true?

Why doesn’t the m65 Defense Personnel Support Center have DLA written on the label?

Why the label on the Defense Personnel Support Center is white and after green 🤔

Am looking M-65 Tiger Stripe John Owenbey Company Inc. is Original?

Was it Alpha Industries 1982 that was used in Rambo first blood? Thanks

That is so cool. I'd never seen a garment done up in Mitchel cam (I'm nearly 60). I always wondered why it was the basis for all helmet covers throughout the 60s and 70s (even up here in Canada. 100% until 1985. Even after that, the cool guys kept their Mitchel covers. I still used mine until we were issued new Kevlar helmets and the brand new CADPAT digital cam covers approx 1998) yet not used in making cam clothing. I'd love one of those jackets just because they are so rare and unusual.

Where in Europe can one buy US made M65 jacket ? Ideally green or woodland pattern with liner and in bigger size like XXL. Market here is full with reproductions in bad quality...

I got 4 M65 jackets mainly from Nam era, one with USMC seal on the left front pocket and silver zipp. Bought it hard to bieleve for ...20 bucks. Some stains ... Also got full 1951 set with original winter parka and trousers

tbh I find the Austrian army veriation of that jacket better than that. or even better the French Felin jacket.

Great topic! The picture of the Vietnam vet wearing a Mitchell M65 is burned into most of us 65 lover's minds hahaha 🤣. There was a company few years ago that made a really nice Mitchell m65 they might still be floating around if one of your viewers was looking fir a repro to wear. I have a friend who's been a collector and dealer of militaria for over 40 plus years. We discussed this subject few times, ye has run across one ir two in his time. Thanks for posting. Cheers

Very interesting I love these jackets and have been wearing them since my early teens. I have a nice little collection of my own plus inherited a few, I think I'm gonna study them further now. Nice video am subscribed now.

Just found your channel, I seen more of your videos, it appears I found a hidden gem.

Hallo , wurden M65 Jacken noch 2005 beim US Militär getragen?

Your collection and videos inspired my own. And it is this specific camouflage pattern that really got me interesting and looking for rarer pieces. I have 32 m65s og107’s now, most between the 65-71 date range that I have collected here in Mexico City. Thank you for your efforts, as your videos have helped immensely with learning about these jackets. Keep up the great work.

Здравствуйте. То есть если латунный замок и оливковый YKK в воротнике то это 100% для рынка? Даже если написан номер контракта на ярлыке?

Thank you for this video and for the explanations. 👏👍

Анализ M-65 в камуфляже Mitchell, или история о том, как куртки, произведенные для коммерческого рынка, стали самыми дорогими в истории M-65. Один из самых красивых и востребованных предметов винтажной одежды, происхождение которого вызывает много споров. Существует множество историй о том, что это были экспериментальные изделия, протестированные на Окинаве для морской пехоты или сшитые в стране местными вьетнамскими портными. Есть известная фотография ветерана, одетого в такой на акции протеста, что наводит на мысль об использовании в военных целях. Но, боюсь, в этом я должен согласиться с Каммоманом, это почти наверняка была частная покупка. Судя по этикеткам, которые совпадают с теми, что используются на выпущенных M65, они были изготовлены Джоном Оунбеем, поставщиком военной одежды из Теннесси, с использованием излишков ткани Mitchell, оставшихся после того, как морские пехотинцы перестали использовать ее для пошива укрытий и чехлов для шлемов. Использование алюминиевых молний и, конечно же, знаменитая фотография показывают, что они были изготовлены в последние несколько лет 60-х, вероятно, в 1969 году, до того, как M65 перешел на латунные молнии в начале 70-х. themajorstailor.com/products/mitchell-camo-m65-field-jacket Я согласен с выводами исследователей этой интересной темы. От себя хочу добавить несколько дополнений. Серебряные молнии на куртках М-65 устанавливались с 1965 по 1971 год. Клинья в рукавах использовались до 1970 года. Учитывая, что на M-65 Mitchell нет клиньев в рукавах, но серебристые молнии все еще установлены, я думаю, что производство курток началось на рубеже 1970/71 годов. По большинству параметров они были изготовлены на основе контракта с John Ownbey Company, Inc DSA 100-71-C-0181. За исключением подкладки из ткани rip-stop, которая используется в камуфляже для джунглей с конца 60-х годов.

The pattern you have is very similar to Korean army 1958 pattern. Some people call it the “eyeball” pattern

What are the black sweaters being worn in the beginning image?
